This week Jay and Brian are talking about drinks - specifically, what makes a great beer or cocktail pairing for your next BBQ. From matching flavor profiles to knowing when to contrast instead of complement, they're breaking down how to build the ultimate BBQ pairings.
🔥 Highlights: This week's highlights bring some serious flavor to the grill. Jay whips up a last-minute Ribeye while Brian brings the heat with his Spicy Lamb Burger - a bold twist on backyard classics.
🛠️ Grill Coach Recommends: This week's pick is a set of Libbey Beer Tasting Glasses - the perfect way to properly taste and compare your BBQ beer pairings glass by glass.
🎙️ After the Break: Jay and Brian dig into the art of drink pairing for your next cookout. They talk through which beers work best with different flavor profiles and proteins, when you want a pairing that complements versus one that contrasts, and tackle the age-old debate of beer or bourbon with brisket. They also weigh in on whether wine has a place at a BBQ, and reveal the one cocktail neither of them would ever serve at a cookout.
