Pairing rice and craft beer #VeranoCervecero

The #VeranoCervecero pairs with PAELLA! In the end, rice and beer is one of the most perfect combinations there is and they are present all over Spain: at the beach bar, in grandmother's house, or as tapas in traditional bars. In addition, the variety is infinite, from the traditional Valencian paellas, seafood, mixed, to the most exquisite proposals such as, for example , the stew rice from Murcia.

Pairing rice with craft beers is a spectacular experience and we'll explain why: first of all, rice is a cereal (as well as wheat, barley or oats in beers, for example) with a "neutral" flavor but on the palate it is quite succulent, with texture/touch, and when cooked it absorbs the organoleptic characteristics of the other ingredients. This is why, depending on the style of rice and the ingredients it contains, you can choose one style of beer or another so that the combination is perfect.

Our suggestions are:

Rice with vegetables with Kölsch:

an old-brew, mild-flavored German beer style with a delicate balance between light maltiness and almost imperceptible fruity sweetness from fermentation and medium-low bitterness with delicate dryness. El Cantero
Slow Rhythm Kölsch Gluten Free, in particular, has a pale yellow appearance with very white foam and fine bubbles, It also has herbaceous and floral notes and nuances of malt like cereals.

Rice Soup with Cream Ale:

Fresh, light-bodied beers brewed in the US to compete with lagers. They are characterized by their texture in the mouth, very carbonated (in other words, refreshing) and without much bitterness. Guadalquibeer Sevilla Cream Ale Gluten Free, for example, is a clean, refreshing, balanced and easy to drink beer, besides it is not filtered or pasteurized. On the palate the bitterness of the hops is barely noticeable, the sweetness from the malt stands out and it has a magnificent cereal aftertaste:

Fish Rice with Blond Ale:

Belgian blondes of a golden color, with aromas that highlight the character of the yeast (spicy and fruity nuances such as orange or lemon). Moderately sweet flavor from the malt, ending with a medium-dry finish. For example, Barcelona Beer Company Bella Lola Blonde Ale, a crystal clear beer with abundant white foam, with aromas of caramel and honey and a taste of citrus, very smooth and fresh:

Seafood Rice with Witbier:

refreshing Belgian wheat beer, with a dry finish and added spices such as coriander and orange peel. Mussa Witbier beer from Valencia , in particular, is made with natural lemons from l’Hort de Muntanya, owned by the Serra Family:

Cauldron Rice with Golden Ale:

slightly cloudy and with intense carbonation (which refreshes). The aroma is complex, with significant fruity esters (pear, apple, stone fruit...). On the palate we find a combination of fruit flavors, spices and soft notes of alcohol. The Valencia Butoni Golden Ale contains a fair amount of freshly picked natural orange rind, thus achieving a citrus aroma without affecting the flavor of a craft beer:

Meat Rice with Maibock:

style of pale beers created to be consumed in the month of May, that is, a beer to combat the heat and at the same time very rich, the malty character predominates and the hops that provide freshness stand out.Dawat 7 Maibock Lager especially light blonde/golden in color, low body and malt flavor, sweet and slightly hopped aftertaste:
