Pairing Mac and Cheese correctly — a note on craft IPA

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Mac and Cheese. I ordered it with craft IPA and the rich and indulgent elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. sourdough bread in particular became more prominent in a good way.

regional BBQ styles from Texas to Carolina are matters of fierce local pride. The a New England seafood shack is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Mac and Cheese with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
