• Food and beer pairings: Faced with five beers, would you be able to identify the aromas and tastes of each one, and imagine creating beer and food pairings according to the detailed principles? Of course, tastes can be combined into salty, sweet, bitter and sour, but finding the perfect match is a quest that only a true gourmet can succeed in.
