The Cubano conjures up sunny, tropical thoughts and that is why we chose these beers. They all lean towards juicy, tropical notes on ac- count of the brewer’s choice of hops. From a technical point of view, the beer’s car- bonation helps to cleanse the palate of the rich cheese, pork and mayonnaise. That same cleansing ability is at play in all three of the pairing options.

This fan-favourite offers the juicy, tropical notes of guava balanced with tart acidity and a hint of pink Himalayan salt. Collective Arts Brewing Guava Gose LCBO 15442, 355 mL, $3.35

A complex yet approachable mixed fermentation sour offer- ing juicy tropical fruit flavours, pleasant bitterness and of course bright acidity. Bench Brewing Company Green Fields Sour LCBO 15697, 473 mL, $3.45

Packed with flavours including kiwi and mango, with resinous pine and citrusy lactic notes, this sour allows for great pairing versatility. Collective Arts Brewing Jam Up The Mash LCBO 549873, 473 mL, $3.55
