Beer and cuisine pairings are rising faster than the froth on a hastily poured lager. Rustico in Alexandria, Virginia, offers a ragout of deep-dish pork shoulder matched with a heady Allagash Tripel from Maine. At Hopmonk Tavern in Sebastopol, California, the maltiness of the pub’s own unfiltered pilsner complements the caramelized beer-braised Nuremberg sausages. And Spinnakers Gastro Brewpub in Victoria, B.C., serves cioppino along with its robust and hearty IPA.
