In the world of beer hoppy IPAs are the fun spicy fruity ones on one end of the flavor spectrum while on the other end you have the hearty stouts — the dark mysterious ones in the barrel. As the name suggests a pint of stout beer is heavy and rich in flavor and dark in color. Stouts often have a smooth decadent mouthfeel and flavor with hints of caramel chocolate or coffee. And whether you’re a die-hard stout fan or new to the party you’re probably familiar with at least one of the most recognizable brands: Guinness.

How to Make the Perfect Beer and Food Pairings | Brew Dogs
One culinary expert who is a fan of stouts like Guinness (which he says he enjoys drinking all summer long with friends and family) is Kwame Onwuachi the chef and founder of Tatiana an Afro-Caribbean restaurant in New York City. In fact the chef is such a fan of the beer that he’s teaming up with Guinness to host a block party on August 24 in Brooklyn NY. All beer lovers are invited to celebrate and discover delicious NYC-inspired dishes carefully crafted to complement the legendary Guinness stout.
Can’t make it to the party? Don’t worry Chef Onwuachi also shared his expert advice on the perfect foods to enjoy with your pint at home. He specifically suggests that fried foods hold up best and complement the full-bodied stout perfectly. His top suggestion? Breaded and crispy fried mushrooms dipped in a tangy spicy buffalo sauce. “That’s a hearty option that will definitely stand up to the richness of the beer” says Onwuachi.
Just as different wines pair perfectly with certain dishes and clash with other flavors the beer you drink will determine which dish pairs best. With something as heavy robust and rich as a Guinness stout your pairing options are quite diverse and depend on whether you’re looking for a sip that complements or contrasts your dish.
