Best beers to pair with your favorite doughnut
When you think of a beverage to accompany a doughnut, what comes to mind? Coffee certainly. Perhaps milk. But what about beer? The combination of craft beer and sweet doughnuts is a decadent way to explore how beer and food interact. Be it through acidity, alcohol, effervescence or hoppy bitterness, beer slices through oils and fats to refresh the palate in preparation for the next bite.
Working off the logic that two of our favorite things are undoubtedly better than one, we created the quintessential guide to pairing 5 classic doughnuts with beer.
1. Glaze Chocolate Doughnut X St Louis Premium Framboise
You might need a second to collect yourself after this insanely rich and decadent combination. Dunking is highly encouraged. The rich chocolate and semi-dryness of the cake donut is a perfect balance for the sweet, fruity tartness os St.Louis Raspberry Lambic!!
2. Old Fashioned Doughnut X Brothers Cider
Buttery and sweet meet rich and golden!!
3. Boston Cream Doughnut X Paulaner Hefe Weissbier Dunkel
Cholately, rich, and a little creamy. Declare your love for donuts and beer with a chocolate creme filled donut. The sweetness of this rich donut paired perfectly with the rich intensity of the famous dunkle.
4. Glazed Doughnut X La Trappe Blond
Buttery and sweet meet rich and golden!! The simplicity of a glazed donut with this beer is beautiful. Nothing compares to the peaceful, simple moment of enjoying a hot glazed donut with a sip of La Trappe Blonde.
