Beer recommendations for a wedding
Hey folks. Just posted to r/wine with a similar question, but figured we should offer some beer at our wedding as well. I don't know much about beer but figured a post here might provoke some interesting suggestions that would pair well with the below menu and be generally likable for your average wedding guest.
The menu is:
PASSED APPETIZERS:
-
cedar planked local mussels (aioli, sea salt, citrus)
-
tomato fig toast (grilled bread, torn mozzarella, basils, olive oil)
-
lamb meatball (mint pistou*, harissa)
-
shaved summer squash flatbread from the wood oven (maitake mushrooms, spicy greens, crescenza, verbena, parmigiano reggiano)
FAMILY STYLE MEAL:
-
charred beet & plum salad (grilled bunching onions, herbs, pomegranate molasses)
-
saffron rice, pistachios (dried fruit and herbs)
-
whole grilled mcfarland springs trout (lemongrass, herbs, lemon wedges, olive oil, crunchy salt)
-
long-roasted pork shoulder (chimichurri, crispy fennel & onions)
-
crispy chickpea corn fritters (piperade sauce|plated individually for vegetarians)
-
blistered green beans (sungold tomato vinaigrette, sesame)
DESSERT:
- best-of-season fruit pies
The wedding will be outdoor, family style food, with a self-service bar. Weather should be pleasant (high 70s cooling off over the night). I'm happy to go to a specialty beer store for recommendations but not interested in wild goose chases for hard-to-find items. Thanks in advance!
