Brad here, I’m back this week with some fall flavor and beer pairings from World of Beer! Cheers.
With fall in full swing, we recently headed to one of our favorite outdoor spots in search of craft brews and heartier cuisine. Whether relaxing by Lake Eola or looking for a place to watch the big game, the downtown World of Beer delivers on the views and the brews. Their new Plates and Pints seasonal menu pairs some solid beer with new and innovative menu offerings, proving there’s more to fall flavors than just pumpkin spice lattes.
We started with the PB&J wings, a creative departure from traditional comfort food. These crispy beauties brought a balance of sweet and savory with their blackberry balsamic jelly glaze and drizzle of spicy peanut butter sauce. Pair with Stone Brewing Co., Stone Mixtape Vol. 14 – The Gatekeeper, a Russian Imperial Stout and IPA blend with figs and plums.
The Prosciutto and Spiced Apple Flatbread is topped with prosciutto, spiced apple, toasted hazelnuts and goat cheese. The thoughtful pairing here is Dogfish Head Fall On Me, a Belgian-style Farmhouse Ale with hints of apples and fall spices.
The Green Chili Chicken Nachos were constructed so that every corn tortilla chip was treated fairly. Each were equally smothered in green chili chicken, spicy cheese, tomatoes, green onion, jalapeño peppers and chopped cilantro – making every bite just as good as the last.
Having trouble deciding between a brat or a burger for your game day fare? Order the WOBtoberfest Brat Burger, a fresh beef burger topped with a beer brat, house-made stone ground mustard, sauerkraut, beer cheese sauce and caramelized onions on a toasted brioche bun. Pair it with a Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA.
This menu will be available until November 20! See you downtown.
