Suggested Canadian Brewery Pairings

Selected by Thirst for Knowledge Inc.

Amber Lager

Hop City Brewing Co. Barking Squirrel Lager

Italian meals call for a beer with a little bit more body. Barking Squirrel has a medium body that will pair well with tomato-based dishes. Also the crisp finish of this beer works well for meals that have potential to be heavy like Italian fare.
