This Easter, let the best of Belgium beer, Duvel and Chouffe, be your hoppy accompaniment for feasting over the bank holiday weekend.
On Good Friday, pair traditional fish dishes with Duvel Tripel Hop Citra. Boasting a full yet refreshing flavour featuring intense citrus aromas alongside a balanced bitterness, the Citra hop pairs wonderfully with salty flavours. Takeaway more your thing? Duvel Tripel Hop Citra is a great partner for the traditional chip shop dinner; its flavour bursts and bitterness cuts through fried food in an excellent fashion.
For Easter Sunday, La Chouffe’s pleasantly fruity yet spicy coriander profile pairs perfectly with roast lamb. For those looking for alternative mains, La Chouffe’s herbal fragrances and notes of pepper wonderfully complement white meats such as roast chicken.
As no Easter is complete without indulging in the sweet taste of chocolate, Cherry Chouffe is the ideal accompaniment. Complex and orientated, the brew is intense and fruity with notes of caramel due to the sweet and sour taste of the red fruit. This in turn means it complements many desserts, such as Easter favourites Mini Egg cheesecake and hot cross bun and butter pudding, or crowd pleasers of chocolate trifle and rhubarb pavlova.
