Legend Pale Ale and Stir Fry
My wife sent me out for beer while she was busy making stir fry for dinner. She requested something local, and something that would go well with the meal.
Legend Brewery is the best choice for hyper-local beer in Richmond, so I looked at the spread at my favorite beer store, “Once Upon a Vine.” I narrowed it down to two choices, Legend Pale Ale and Legend Golden Ale.
Stumped, I called Shawn and we contemplated our situation. It was decided that if the stir fry was at all spicy, the Pale would be the safe bet. If it was sweet, the Golden Ale might go better. As my wife normally likes the spice, I chose the Pale. (I also got some Sierra Nevada Torpedo for another night)
The beer was good; Legend always delivers. The stir fry was a very tasty chinese five spice recipe; however, the pairing was nothing special. Neither beer nor stir fry detracted from each other, but they didn’t make make the sum more than its component parts.
