Herbed Salmon Burgers with Cucumber‑Radish Slaw & Gribiche recipe on page 96

County Road Farmhouse Saison LCBO 546093, 473 mL, $3.15

Poured alongside our herbed salmon burger, this farmhouse saison comple- ments by adding a citrusy kick, as if you’ve squeezed fresh lemon over the dish. The lively Champagne-like bubbles wash away the soft egg bun and cleanse the spicy, tangy slaw and rich gribiche sauce from the palate. Opened in 2016, County Beer Co. makes rustic, farmhouse-style ales in the midst of Prince Edward County’s flourishing beer, wine and food scene.

Hockley Dark LCBO 34660, 473 mL, $2.75

Traditionally turkey is paired with a pale beverage, but this burger’s mix of rich, dark meat and smoky bacon shine alongside the mellow roasty notes in this English-style ale. Hockley Dark pours a deepmahogany with aromas of roasted chestnuts, chocolate brownie and biscuit. Don’t fear the dark- ness; rather than being heavy and filling, this ale is both light-bodied and refreshing.
