Cherry Pie + Funkwerks Raspberry Provincial Ale: This lightly sour ale with its subtly sweet and tart finish and bright red fruit tones mimics the same elements found in the pie.
Apple Pie + Crabbie’s Ginger Beer: Light-bodied with a spicy ginger flavor this is a perfect complement to the caramel, vanilla and baked apple sweetness of the pie.
Pecan Pie + Alaskan Amber Ale: Rich and malty in style with notes of roasted nuts and caramel, and just enough hops to cut through the sweetness of the pie.
Pumpkin Pie + Kona Brewing Pipeline Porter: The deep rich chocolate, roasted notes and earthy tones of this smooth malty porter nicely offset the baking spice and sweetness of in the pie.
Lemon Meringue Pie + Heretic Make America Juicy Again Hazy IPA: It’s like these two are twins—both have a creamy richness and bright lemon citrus flavors.
