Food Pairing
Tom Paine is a rich and complex beer with some big flavours. It has the hops to cut through the texture of the Sunday Roast and distinct toffee flavours that harmonise with the caramelisation of the roast as it cooks.
Vegetarian lasagne also caramelises so Tom Paine’s flavours are complementary. Salted Caramel pudding is a study in contrasts with the bitterness of the beer.
Food pairings: Sunday Roast, Vegetarian lasagne, Salted Caramel Pudding
Jane Peyton: Award winning writer, alcoholic drinks expert, public speaker, and UK's first 'pommelier'
