Beer and Sushi

Last night I had an inexplicable craving for sushi. Surprisingly enough, this was my first foray into pairing beer with sushi. I say this because The Office Lounge (a DBF favorite) is well known in the Toms River area for its sushi selection. In any event, I went with a spicy roll. Spicy food can be paired very well with hoppy beers. I found that it complemented the spicy roll rather well.

Highland Kashmir IPA: This was a classic IPA. By that I mean, it fit the style well and met my mental definition of an IPA. There was nothing that knocked my socks off, nor did it have any downside. It was a rather aggressive beer with a bitter hop flavor. It was a very nice gift from Laura's brother and his fiance, Katie. Thanks guys!

As you may have noticed, I have not posted in more than 3 months. It's been a long haul at work, and I've certainly been putting in a lot more hours these days. I've also managed to lose a fairly substantial amount of weight (25+ lbs). The alleged causation or correlation between my weight loss and lower beer consumption will be left to reader to determine.

I've tried new beers during this time. I will be adding some reviews over the next few weeks. Unfortunately, some of my reviews have been misplaced. It's a good thing we don't keep count anymore, because I'd never catch Colleen!

Cheers,
Paul

  1. Now I want sushi, too. If I was ever on death row, my last meal would be cucumber avocado roll, french fries and Guinness. Mmm...

    Good to have you back, my dear beer friend!
