Summer is the perfect time for outdoor barbecues, and nothing enhances these moments better than a well-chosen beer. Brasserie de Silly offers a wide range of craft beers that pair perfectly with your favorite grilled dishes. Here’s how to make your summer barbecues unforgettable with our delicious food and beer pairings.

1. Red Meats: Ribeye, Prime Rib, and Burgers

Silly la Divine 

Red meats are often the stars of barbecue thanks to their rich and savory taste. To accompany a steak, a rib of beef or a burger, choose the Silly la Divine. This amber beer which offers a sweet and velvety aroma leads us towards a pleasantly hoppy and woody flavor. It releases a very fine bitter, even smoky and alcoholic taste in the back of the mouth which goes perfectly with the depth of grilled red meats. 

Cooking Tip

Marinate your ribeye with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and black pepper. Grill the meat over high heat to get a caramelized crust while keeping the inside juicy.

2. Poultry: Chicken, Turkey, and Duck

Silly Saison

White meats like chicken, turkey, and duck need a lighter beer that doesn’t overpower their delicate flavors. Silly Saison is perfect for these meats, with its spicy and fruity notes. Its freshness and slight acidity enhance the subtle flavors of grilled poultry.

Cooking Tip

Marinate your chicken with lemon, garlic, Provençal herbs, and a bit of honey for a sweet touch. Grill until the skin is golden and crispy. Silly Saison adds a refreshing touch that complements this dish perfectly.

3. Fish and Seafood: Salmon, Shrimp, and Scallops

Silly Blanche

Fish and seafood require a beer that respects their delicate flavors. Silly Blanche, with its citrus and coriander aromas, is a great choice. This light and refreshing beer highlights the natural flavors of grilled salmon, shrimp, and scallops.

Cooking Tip

Season your salmon with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. Grill it lightly to keep it tender and juicy inside. Silly Blanche adds a zesty, refreshing note to each bite.

4. Grilled Vegetables: Peppers, Zucchini, and Eggplants

Silly Bio

Grilled vegetables are a barbecue must-have, and they deserve a perfect pairing too. Silly Bio, an organic blonde beer with floral and slightly hoppy notes, is ideal for accompanying vegetables. It enhances the grilled flavors and adds a touch of freshness.

Cooking Tip

Cut your vegetables into thick slices, brush them with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme. Grill until tender and slightly caramelized. Silly Bio elevates these vegetables with its light and floral character.

5. Barbecue Desserts: Grilled Pineapple and Fruit Skewers

Silly Rouge

Don’t forget about desserts at your barbecue! Grilled pineapple and fruit skewers pair wonderfully with Silly Rouge. This red fruit beer has intense aromas of raspberry and blackcurrant, adding a sweet and tangy touch that complements the caramelized flavors of grilled fruits.

Cooking Tip

Cut the pineapple into slices and grill until golden and caramelized. For the skewers, alternate pieces of strawberries, bananas, and peaches. Serve with a drizzle of honey and enjoy with Silly Rouge for a burst of flavors.
