Pairing Schnitzel correctly — a note on weissbier

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Schnitzel. I ordered it with weissbier and the robust and filling elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. dark rye bread in particular became more prominent in a good way.

regional specialities vary dramatically between Bavaria, Saxony, and the Rhineland. The a Bavarian beer hall is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Schnitzel with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
