Finding the ideal beer to pair with food can elevate a dining experience. This article discusses beer-and-food pairings, particularly focusing on fried rice. Expert Derek Chan recommends Fort Point KSA, a Kölsch-style ale, for its light and drinkable qualities. Kölsch's dry, crisp characteristics complement the savory, umami aspects of fried rice without overpowering its flavors. The article explains the hybrid nature of Kölsch, as it combines lager and ale fermentation techniques, leading to a refreshing beverage that balances the richness of dishes like fried rice.
"I'm a big fan of the Fort Point KSA currently on our menu," Chan says. "It's really light and drinkable, making it easy to pair with a wide range of dishes."
Kölsch originates in Cologne, or Köln, Germany. It's a 'hybrid' beer, combining lager and ale fermentation. Ales ferment at warmer temperatures and yield more fermentation-byproduct flavors like fruit and spice notes."
