Matt Hodgson's Picks

Favourite Fast Food Pairing: Wendy’s, Spicy Chicken Sandwich


Fried chicken and beer, need I say more? According to Ryan; yes, yes I do. 

When it comes to food pairings it doesn’t get much more classic than fried chicken and beer. For a classic pairing stick with the classic choices; Roman Candle and Wendy’s Spicy chicken. 

Bellwoods has been slinging out some of Canada’s best brews since 2012. Roman Candle was actually their first IPA. The perfect balance of dank and juicy fruit. Rocan is a big reason we should all be saying east coast IPA and not just New England IPA. 

A hoppy IPA like Rocan will actually intensify the heat, so make sure to keep that in mind if you’re eating something a little spicier. For the spicy chicken I find it helps dial up the deliciousness.
