Gordon Biersch Beer and Food Pairing Guide

As part of the beer and food pairings guide roll out, Gordon Biersch restaurants throughout the country will feature a selection of craft brewed on-site by local head brewers. All of the restaurant’s head brewers develops a unique beer in each of the featured beer styles on-site for guests to enjoy. At the start of each meal, guests are encouraged to preview the pairing menu to enhance their experience with styles including:

Happy

A beer style that balances out spicy foods and helps emphasize distinctive flavors in dishes, which created an ideal combination with spicy meals, pork, poultry and burgers. This flavor can be paired well with Gordon Biersch favorites including Southwest Egg Rolls. Marzen BBQ Chicken Sandwich and Spicy Chicken Fritters.

Fruity & Spicy

This style of beer complements and balances flavors similar to notes in the beer, such as those found in poultry, salads, seafood and flatbreads. Guests can pair their Fruity & Spicy brews with selections such as the Blue Crab & Artichoke Dip, Cali Beach Taco and California Cobb Flatbread.

Light & Refreshing

Select this type of beer style when looking for a refreshing craft beer that will cleanse the palate and will also complement lighter dishes. The chef recommends matching this style of beer with Gordon Biersch menu items such as the Cajun Pasta and the Gorgonzola Pear Salad.

Malty

Fans of roasted, grilled and smoked foods should sample this style of beer, which will give another layer of flavor to the dish. Ideal menu items to be coupled with Malty beers include the Gordon Biersch Beer & Mushroom Chicken and the Gastro Burger.

Dark
