Pairing Currywurst correctly — a note on Riesling

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Currywurst. I ordered it with Riesling and the tangy from fermentation elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. sauerkraut in particular became more prominent in a good way.

German bread culture is extraordinarily diverse with over 300 officially registered varieties. The a Bavarian beer hall is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Currywurst with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
