PACIFIC - CHICKEN CURRY

Pacific Chicken Curry

Today, I suggest you oriental version of chicken. For this Indian dish I decided to add one of my favorite beers - Pacific Pale Ale from Artezan Brewery . I risked a bit without really knowing what I come out of this mix, but this choice has proven to be a hit! I do not want to be immodest, but I found that such a good chicken curry tasted in my life;)

Aromas of citrus, mango perfectly highligt an oriental character cuisine and delicate bitterness creates an incredibly original combination from chilli spice. Honey, curry, citrus, chicken, and all that beer! The combination of straight perfect! Thousands of flavors and aromas that attack us from the very first bite! Indescribable feeling - you just have to cook and try yourself!

BEER + FOOD = YES!

Today, something about the begginings and some rules for beginners:

There has been long known that beyond a small circle of people who use the products craft breweries, beer is a drink very underrated (how I feel sorry for those poor souls who do not know what they are missing! But that's not what was supposed to be ...).

Personally, I think the beer is just as valuable as the wine bouquet of aromas. Since interest me very much - I decided to search the internet in search of material on the subject. Imagine my surprise when in the search results appeared to me a few recurring schedule. The articles do not mention, because even on the English-language pages difficult to find anything meaningful. And this is the way the the idea for a series of articles about combining beer with food.
Brew Pub food pairing is a subject very extensive and complicated - one could write a book about it, which is probably akin to an encyclopedia format, but the idea of a simple blog seems to be a lot more pleasant.

A few tips that can help you effectively task.

First of all - remember that the rules are not sacrosanct, not strictly stick to the them. Classic connections are sometimes simply boring.
Not everyone has the same taste, it is said that how many people so many tastes and flavors. Do not be afraid to experiment in the kitchen - it's what we give you, it is only a guide. And the world really will not end if the beer will not match with the dinner ...

Secondly - use similar flavors. For example, citrus-coriander flavor of a  Witbier will perfectly highlight a salmon liquefied with lemon juice and oatmeal stout will be a great addition to a chocolate dessert.

Thirdly - choose flavors that will not overwhelm each other. Schlenkerla smoked for light salad with chicken, is very unlikely to be a good idea.
