Although beer is the world’s oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic beverage, its complexity and compatibility with certain cuisines is often overlooked. Fine-dining Thai restaurant, Mango Tree in Belgravia, is revealing how Thailand’s best selling Chang beer enhances the delicate flavours of its dishes with a Street Food Beer Festival pairing menu, available from 5th until 25th October 2009.
With a cuisine historically influenced by Eastern and Western techniques, Thai food is a deliciously unique explosion of fresh tastes and textures. Sweet and sour, bitter and spicy, the host of culinary contrasts can be brought to life with a carefully considered brew. Through the Street Food Festival menu, executive chef Mark Read’s astute palate and attention to flavour guides diners to a host of his creations that are all best enjoyed with an ice-cold beer. With money saving beer packages available, including five bottles at just £15, groups of two or more can really make a night of it and enjoy exploring why beer can be the sophisticated choice.
