Matt Hodgson's Picks

International Food Pairings

Corn Dogs

Allagash Brewing Company is widely regarded as one of the best and most respected craft breweries in the USA. Until recently, you’d have had to travel to the States to get your hands on their remarkable beers. But now, you can skip the trip and still enjoy the full ‘Murican experience by pairing their Tripel with a classic corn dog.

Belgian Tripels are one of my favorite beer styles—high in ABV yet incredibly smooth and complex. They pair beautifully with food, whether you’re elevating something casual like a corn dog or enjoying a more refined meal.

A corn dog in one hand, a chalice of rich, frothy, golden goodness in the other. It’s going to be a great day.
