Lamb Fajitas
The spice and the fried onions combined with the guacamole are strong and complex flavours, particularly if the onions and peppers are a little burned.
The spice in lamb fajitas mean that a fruity beer works really well, but you do need the strength of the beer to match up to the food. Brewers and hops growers these days have learned how to get some great fruit flavours out of hops – it might sounds amazing but you really can taste oranges, lemons, mango, lime and even banana in many beers. A beer with lime flavours really works well and is magnificent.
Alastair Scott’s Recommended Beer matches
Liefman”s Kriek – the dark cherry flavour sets well against
a spicy fajita.
Duvel – a mouthful of yeast in a glass that needs
strong food.
Meantime wheat beer – Wheat beer often tastes of lemons,
which combine so well with the guacamole to really set off
the food.
