Craft Beer appreciated at the Taj Cape TownRecognising that beer and Indian cuisine go hand in hand, the Taj Cape Town is holding its first Craft Beer Appreciation Evening on Thursday, 26 June, 2014, at 6.30pm. Hosted in the classically styled Twankey Bar on the corner of Adderley and Wale Streets, the Beer Appreciation Evening features 16 of the best Craft Beers available paired with a selection of authentic Indian delicacies from the Taj Cape Town's fine dining restaurant, the Bombay Brasserie. As with any food and beverage pairing, most of the fun is found in trial and error experimenting with new combinations, but it is useful to know some general guidelines because very often the exception to the rule is the most fascinating. Jean Muller, host of the Beer Appreciation Evening at the Twankey Bar offers the following three tips when pairing beer and food: 1. If you're familiar with wine tasting, think of a lager as white wine and an ale as red wine when it comes to pairing with food. In place of an acidic wine, a hoppy beer can be used. There is limited space, so bookings for the Beer Appreciation Evening are essential. Tickets cost R395 per person and one guest will win a six-course dinner for two at the Bombay Brasserie.
