IRISH ALE'S IN STOCK AT LIQUOR WORLD...

Boulevard Brewing Irish Ale
Irish Ale, Boulevard's spring seasonal beer, is our Midwestern tribute to the legendary red ales of old Ireland. Our recipe combines six kinds of pale and roasted barley malts to provide a rich, toasty flavor and tawny reddish hue.

Diamond Bear Irish Red
This Irish style red ale is bold and smooth, brewed with a rich blend of malt to give it a rich red full body. Generous amounts of hops brings out the wonderful aroma.

From Moylan's Brewing Company:

Dragoons Dry Irish Stout
Dry, roasty and incredibly rich in flavor, Dragoons Dry Irish Stout is made with a unique blend of imported hops and malted barley from the United Kingdom. This award winning stout is brewed in the Irish tradition to commemorate General Stephen Moylan, Irish-born commander of the 4th Continental Dragoons during the American Revolutionary War.

Danny's Irish Red
A rich ale recipe from the Homeland, Paddy's Irish Red Ale is malty sweetness in liquid form. A low hop profile dances above the massive barley character, creating an invigorating aroma and caramel character that will compliment most foods. Hearty and luscious, this brew is what keeps those Irish Eyes A' Smilin'!

Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale
Robust and Strapping , Our Scotch Ale takes BIG Beers to a whole new level. Rich malt balances perfectly with delicate hops to provide a concentrated and intense flavor; an ideal companion for hearty foods, or as a meal unto itself. Allow this ale to warm slightly in your glass to enhance its truly bold character .Sharing is encouraged, as this is one beer that lives up to its name! Hey! No peeking! Slainté!

Exciting and provocative, India Pale Ale provides a stimulating assault on all senses. Our version of the IPA style possesses a deep golden hue that nearly winks at you from the glass. Extremely full-bodied, its rich flavor wraps your tongue in a lush blanket of sweet malt with a spicy hop finish. Two hop varieties in the Dry Hopping provide an enticing floral bouquet, with notes of resin and herbs,creating a delightfully quaffable and refreshing ale we're sure you'll love!

Jamaica Stout
Dark brown, almost black, ale with a small, creamy, light brown head. The aroma is of milk chocolate and alcohol. The flavor is balanced and chocolatey. Medium sweet, lightly bitter, medium-bodied and a little silky with light carbonation. Finishes lightly tart and grassy.

New Belgium Ranger IPA
New Belgium's foray into the true American India Pale Ales. Bring out the hops! This clear amber beauty bursts at the starting gate with an abundance of hops: Cascade (citrus), Chinook (floral/citrus), and Simcoe (fruity) lead off the beer, with Cascade added again for an intense dry hop flavor. Brewed with pale and dark caramel malts that harmonize the hop flavor from start to finish, Ranger is a seasonable splendor for all you hopinistas. Thank your Beer Ranger!

Wine & Food pairing “rules”

* Nothing will complement your meal better than a wine you enjoy drinking, but a general “rule” if you enjoy exploring new wines is red wine with meat, white wine with fish or fowl.

* Select light-bodied wines to pair with lighter food, and fuller-bodied wines to go with heartier, more flavorful dishes. When pairing food and wine, the goal is synergy and balance. The wine shouldn't overpower the food, nor should the food overpower the wine. Think of wine as if it were a condiment — it should compliment the food.

* Drink light-to-dark, just as when you plan a meal you start with delicate tastes and work towards heavier tastes. For this reason, you normally don't serve a red wine with appetizers or opening courses in a meal. Red wines do go very nicely with heavier foods - beef, rich pasta sauces, and so on.

* Match by geographic location. Regional foods and wines, having developed together over time, often have a natural affinity for each other.

* Match flavors. An earthy Pinot Noir goes well with mushroom soup, while the grapefruit/citrus taste of Sauvignon Blanc goes with fish for the same reasons that lemon does.

* Consider pairing opposites. Very hot or spicy foods —some Thai dishes, or hot curries for example — often work best with sweet desert wines. Opposing flavors can play off each other, creating new flavor sensations and cleansing the palate.

* The #1 rule of wine and food pairing is judge with your taste buds. The idea behind pairing wine with food is that the flavors of one compliment or bring forward the beauty of the other. Rules are meant to be broken, so if you enjoy a light red wine with salmon, or a buttery Chardonnay with a juicy grilled steak, forget the wine critics, and bon appetit!
