Rye River Nocturne Export Stout

Shellfish have a mild, delicate taste. Their light and nuanced flavours are best suited to similarly light yet aromatic beverages. An exception to this are hearty stouts and porters, which are a classic accompaniment to oysters.

Game usually has quite a strong taste, which is why game wines are primarily full-bodied reds. A richly flavoured beer is also an ideal partner to strongly flavoured game dishes.

Casseroles are usually rich in flavour yet quite smooth due to their long cooking times. A similarly rich and smooth beverage will therefore work well with them. If your food is very fatty, you can cut it with a well-balanced beverage.

Mushrooms are very versatile. They go well with a variety of beverages, but generally work best with relatively mild wines and beers. Richly flavoured mushroom dishes can also benefit from more full-bodied beverages.
