Holiday Cheers: A Blog About Entertaining with Beer

Welcome to Holiday Cheers, our new winter blog on entertaining with beer. Over the next few weeks, I will help get you ready to host casual gatherings, impromptu dinners, and elegant cocktail parties over the holidays. Along with a steady stream of easy-to-execute tips, ideas, and recipes, we will provide you with information on how to cook with, serve, and enjoy beer during this festive, busy time of year.

Without a doubt beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage in the United States, however most people are unaware that when it comes to pairing with food, beer can be just as complex and exciting as wine. Many fine restaurants and gastropubs around the world are touting their “beer sommeliers” and special beer pairing menus - it appears that beer is here to stay as a major player on the culinary scene. So what better time that now to add it to your entertaining repertoire? Check back in the coming weeks for party inspiration, planning tips, tasty pairings, and clever ways to incorporate beer (and cheer!) into your very own holiday hosting.
