AMERICANS LOVE BEER
he U.S. is a beer-loving nation first and foremost. Sales figures show 2011 U.S. beer sales surpassed sales of wine and liquor combined. American craft brewers, defined as small, independent and traditional by the Brewers Association, have seen continued growth, yet in 2012 have only captured approximately 10 percent of overall national beer sales. Craft brewers, against many odds, have been a successful business sector despite a decrease in national beer sales. To put things into perspective, sales for craft brewers ($8.7 billion in 2011) were similar to sales of champagne in the U.S. at that same time. — Brewers Association The Anacortes Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the following businesses for sponsoring this year’s Anacortes Oktoberfest!

ith beer, it may be said heavy food, heavy beer — light food, a lighter beer. In some ways it is a good rule of thumb, especially if you are new to the pairing idea.
• Dry Stouts and porter: These are excellent with a hearty soup/ stew or a meat dish with brown gravy. Try making pancakes with stout — just replace some or all of the water with beer.
• Light ales, light lagers, blond or gold ale, lighter wheat beers: These go well with spicy food. Once you torch your palate, you probably will not be able to taste the nuances and subtleties of the more complex brews.
• Imperial stout and sweet stout: Try these for an interesting dessert combination. Pair these with chocolate to bring out the flavors in the beer. I would suggest a chocolate raspberry dish or a chocolate fondue. Recommended for heavier desserts.
• Wheat, weiss, witbier: With these beers, it is best to stick with lighter more subtle fare. There is a reason there are yeast remnants in the beer - so you can taste them. These can also go well with dessert. A German hefeweizen with a banana custard or a Belgian white with an orange dessert would be good matches. Citrus style desserts bring out the lemon/orange and spice from these beers.
• Pilsner: A hoppy pilsner can enhance the flavor of a firm fish or shellfish. A pilsner can be good with fried or spicy food. Pilsners also serve well as an aperitif. • Pale, IPA: Beef dishes fare well with the more full-bodied ales such as the IPA or pale. Buffalo wings or blackened chicken would be nicely complemented with an IPA, though they can enhance the spicy heat. The pales can complement shrimp, crab, and other light fish.
• Brown ale: Brown ale goes quite well with a brown mushroom gravy over chicken. If your particular brown is somewhat — www.brew-monkey.com hoppy, then it will make a nice pair with a more gamey dish. Brown ale and nut brown ale tend Craft brewers currently to go well with beef entrées. • Amber: You can partake of this with pizza, medium spicy foods or even as a substitute for brown ale. Amber can be quite malty and somewhat hoppy, so stay away from sweet items with this beer. 6
