PAIRING PERFECTION

BEST WITH

GRILLED VEGGIES

Try pairing your next meal with a saison. These farmhouse-style brews are dry and highly effervescent, which cleanses the palate after each grilled, spicy or salty bite. Plus they are brewed with a special yeast strain for aromas of white peppercorn and freshly squeezed citrus—flavours that accentuate summer fare like garden-fresh salads, noodle bowls and grilled chicken or steak. We like Beau’s FarmTable Saison ( LCBO 519942, 600 mL, $4.75), Driftwood’s FarmHand Saison ( LCBO 546903, 650mL, $6.00) and Bobcaygeon Brewing Company’s Firestarter Saison ( LCBO 569038, 473 mL, $3.25).

THE PERFECT MIXES These simple cocktails are crafted to en- hance each brew’s unique flavours. Try a citrusy shandy with Abe Erb Brewing Co. Das Spritzhaus Hefeweizen ( LCBO 490466, 473 mL, $2.85) or a refreshing radler with mango and pineapple and Elora Borealis ( LCBO 484568, 500 mL, $4.60). For dessert? An ice cream float made with Mackeson Stout ( LCBO 311852, 6 pk, $12.90).
