As the nation’s craft breweries proliferate and home beer making becomes even more popular than it was in the days of Prohibition, consumers are becoming ever more sophisticated. No longer do Americans drink industrially produced lagers with their meals; they demand brews especially designed to complement gourmet dinners. Baime and Michaels follow the seasons to offer beers specifically paired to recipes. They compare beers’ variations in taste and aroma to the complexity of chords in the notes of a symphony and encourage readers to explore widely. Fruity apricot ale softens the heat of spicy peel-and-eat shrimp. Very ambitious cooks may feel compelled to churn up some of the authors’ homemade butter to drench summer lobster. To harmonize with this shellfish’s richness, they suggest the spicy notes of chili beer. Recipes assume some expertise on the part of anyone wanting to replicate these dishes at home.
