Imperial IPA

• Cocodrie

  Bayou Teche Brewing Table Group 9 Paired with Pork Sausage and Pickled Red Onion on Hot Honey Flatbread with Mozzarella Chef's Notes: The honey in the flatbread calms the hop bite and lets the malt come through for a bit, before the sausage brings the hops back to the palate.

• Devil Dancer

  Founders Brewing Company Table Group 5 Paired with Beef Shank and Mustard Terrine with House Pickles and Salted Chip Chef's Notes: Bold beef flavors and mustard hold the hops at bay for just a bit to allow the malt to come through. Use the pickle to cleanse the palate.

• Double Platinum

  Starr Hill Brewery Table Group 5 Paired with Celery Shortbread Cookie Chef's Notes: The celery helps to pull notes of tarragon from the beer, while the shortbread presents notes of butter.

• Goodnight Bodacious

  Short's Brewing Company Table Group 11 Paired with Bitter Chocolate Bon Bon with Passion Fruit and Mesquite Salt Chef's Notes: This pairing goes in reverse with the chocolate, at first, challenging the malt then the passion fruit accentuates the hops for a tropical fruit finish.

• Hoptimum Whole-Cone Imperial IPA

  Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Supporter Circle Paired with Beef Shank and Mustard Terrine with House Pickles and Salted Chip Chef's Notes: The richness of the beef shank mellows the hops, allowing the malt to shine through.

• Jet Star Imperial IPA

  No-Li Brewhouse Table Group 9 Paired with Shortbread Biscuit with Stilton and Pear Chef's Notes: The malt in the beer comes through with the help of the shortbread, while the hops are enhanced by the pear and help pull the Stilton off the palate.

• Overhead

  Kane Brewing Company Table Group 5 Paired with Spiced Corn and Applewood Smoked Bacon on Lime Chef's Notes: Look for the tropical fruit notes in this beer to linger a bit longer with the corn and bacon.

• Single Hop Sorachi Ace

  Flying Dog Brewery Supporter Circle Paired with Tart Apple and Brie in Puff Pastry Chef's Notes: The puff pastry calms the hops just long enough for the brie to come forward. The apple pulls fruit notes from the hops at the finish.

• Stone Enjoy By IPA

  Stone Brewing Co. Table Group 3 Paired with Chicken and Ricotta Meatball with Amatriciana Sauce and Fiore Sardo Chef's Notes: Bold flavors in the sauce and meatball, along with a touch of fiore sardo, play off the floral notes in the beer.

• Tricerahops

  Ninkasi Brewing Company Table Group 9 Paired with Jumbo Lump Crab Cake with Corn, Sweet Pepper and Citrus Chef's Notes: Earthy and floral hops strip away the corn and sweet pepper, leaving a sweet crab and citrus finish.
