Like Guinness. Only better.
Frozen microwaved pizza. But really heavy on the garlic, which can make anything good.
I really had no basis for choosing this pairing. It was just a case of “I wonder how this will taste,” which is something I do quite a bit of.
Beamish is the same style as Guinness, but a bit more flavorful. But still incredibly mild as stouts go. I’ve had many a porter that was darker and bolder in flavor than Beamish (all the more so as compared to Guinness). Which just serves to highlight how fuzzy the line is between porter and stout. It’s very, very fuzzy. But I digress.
So how was the pairing? Meh. Entirely pleasant, but neither the beer nor the food was enhanced by the pairing. Very average, with no harsh flavors.
Good enough to crack one open if it’s convenient, but definitely don’t go out of your way to have this.
