FISHING FOR COMPLEMENTS

PRETZEL-CRUSTED LOBSTER ARANCINI P. 120

When it comes to lobster, most people think of wine, but beer is a worthy suitor as well. We suggest gravitating toward something hoppy and slightly hazy like a lower-alcohol-by-volume session ale. These beers are typically more available in warmer months. Fragrantly spiced, slightly creamy wheat ales also make an excel lent match for this coveted Canadian crustacean. Both beer styles will complement our salty, fried lobster recipe without overwhelming the seafood. Seek out local cans like Side Launch Wheat Beer ( LCBO 10075, 473 mL, $3.65 ) or Great Lakes Brewery Sunnyside Session IPA ( LCBO 467019, 473 mL, $3.25 ).
