Dine and Draft: Can’t-Miss Dish and Craft Beer Pairings

Tap into your taste buds by pairing a KC craft beer selection with one of several local dishes.

Cinder Block’s Northtown Native + The Peanut’s 3 Wings and Fries

The Peanut, Cinder Block Northtown Native

Cool off from the heat of The Peanut’s jumbo hot wings with this crisp, refreshing beer brewed at Cinder Block Brewery, a North Kansas City staple.

Crane Brewing’s Grapefruit Gose + Le Fou Frog’s Tuna Tartare

This tart, citrusy beer from Crane Brewing nicely complements the French bistro’s simple tartare dish, served with shallots, Tabasco, chive oil and wasabi.

Boulevard Brewing Co.’s Tank 7 + Char Bar’s The Jacknife

A Belgian-style farmhouse ale that packs a punch, Boulevard’s iconic Tank 7 jives well with KC’s spiciest dishes. Give it a go with Char Bar’s meat-free sandwich staple of jackfruit, avocado and fried jalapenos.

Kansas City Bier Company’s Dunkel + Third Street Social’s Animal Style Burger

The dark, malty flavor of this KC Bier Co.’s Munich-style lager is the perfect accompaniment to the mustard-seared beef patties and Thousand Island dressing, resulting in a match made in burger heaven at Third Street Social.

Torn Label’s House Brew + Glacé’s Madagascar Vanilla Ice Cream

Create your own KC float by mixing Torn Label’s robust coffee stout with an equally silky, all-natural vanilla scoop from acclaimed chocolatier Christopher Elbow’s artisan ice cream shop.
