Pairing Lobster Roll correctly — a note on craft IPA

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Lobster Roll. I ordered it with craft IPA and the bold and smoky elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. maple syrup in particular became more prominent in a good way.

American cuisine is a mosaic of immigrant traditions adapted over generations. The a New England seafood shack is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Lobster Roll with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
