This weekend on a visit to our future home in Athens, GA we stopped in at the Copper Creek brewpub for lunch. I ordered a Rauchbier and some ribs, and the combination was fantastic.Rauchbier is a German lager style that uses smoked barley, giving it a prominent and unique smoky flavor. The one from Copper Creek was bold, smoky, and had a slight bite to it from the carbonation. I had never had Rauchbier before, but I was feeling adventurous in trying such a bold beer. I instantly loved this beer, and I highly recommend trying it; it's a unique and exciting experience.
While sipping on this sm
oky beer, I couldn't resist ordering some ribs. The pairing was completely complementary and natural. The ribs had a sweet sauce and no smoke flavor, so the beer actually added another layer of flavor that the ribs were missing. This was a great pairing and I can't wait to try out more pairings with this unique style of beer.
