With all this time at home, we’ve been watching a bit more Netflix than usual; Binging 7 hours of Tiger King in a row qualifies as just ‘a bit’ right? 😉 And being the beer experts we are we’ve found certain beers pair especially well with certain programming. So we’ve put together a beer pairing guide to enhance your viewing experience. Enjoy!
THE TIGER KING - HIMALYAN SALTED CARAMEL PORTER
We paired this rich and delicious brew with good ol’ Joe Exotic. Both are dark and leave a lingering saltiness… if you know, you know. Also, Tiger’s are orange and so is the can of this Porter…so get to watching and sipping all you cool cats and kittens.
THE DAWN WALL - REGIONAL IPA MIXER
Our new adventurous mixer is the perfect companion to that tingling feeling you’ll get in your toes watching Tommy Caldwell free climb the Dawn Wall of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. Since this mixer features FOUR juicy, velvety, luscious IPAs celebrating FOUR different regions with FOUR unique hop varieties, we recommend making your own flight to enjoy while watching this wild 3000ft climb.
LOSING SIGHT OF SHORE - OFF TRAIL PALE ALE
When you’re stuck inside and can’t get off trail yourself you might as well watch someone else do it. So kick back, relax (and try not to get too jealous) as these four women set out to row across the Pacific Ocean, from America to Australia - these ladies go SERIOUSLY off trail.
DISCOVERING BIGFOOT - SASQUATCH STOUT
Watch researchers search for the dark and elusive Sasquatch in the wild to prove his existence. Little do they know he’s safe with us and just very busy brewing up some tasty Stouts and posting frequent updates on @sasquatchoyb… silly, silly researchers.
FRIENDS – DRY HOPPED GERMAN PILSNER
Tested positive today for missing our friends… who else is with us? Well not to worry, Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Ross and Chandler are “there for you” (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap). And the best way to pay homage to these friends and the classic sitcom is with our easy-drinking, crisp and slightly bitter Dry Hopped German Pilsner because we made it with our FRIENDS from Yellow Dog Brewing!
THE OFFICE – CRAFT COOLER
This ones for all the folks “working” from home right now. Since you can’t go to the Office right now, we recommend watching Michael Scott and all his shenanigans. In our opinion, The Office goes great with just about anything, so why not a 12 pack of our hand-crafted beers?
COMEDIANS IN CARS GETTING COFFEE – COLD BREW BLACK LAGER
Pretend you’re getting interviewed by Jerry Seinfeld in a coffee shop from the comfort of your couch while you sip on this cold brew inspired Lager collaboration with Smoking Gun Coffee Roasters It’s smooth and crisp with a dry finish… just like Seinfeld’s humour! (We’re not going crazy, you are…).
FISH PEOPLE – HEAD SHAKER HONEY LAGER
Brewed for an outdoor lifestyle and fishing adventure, this beer was MADE for this show. Sip on our crisp, mellow and refreshing Honey Lager while watching this epic tale of people who dedicated their lives to the sea and get stoked to get out on the lake this Summer!
THE IRISHMAN – IRISH CREAM IMPERIAL STOUT
Maybe a bit on the nose? Yeah, no explanation needed for this pairing. You’re welcome.
MAMMA MIA - POOLSIDE PEACH TEA RADLER
This combo will have you throwing on your best beachwear and belting out the lyrics to “Dancing Queen” in your living room in no time! Simply steeped with Stonefruit Tea, how can you not dream of Summer while enjoying a crisp, light and subtly sweet Radler and ABBA?!
