Elizabeth Warren Visits Doyle’s Cafe

A new page was written in Doyle’s political history on Tuesday, October 23rd. Elizabeth Warren campaigns at Doyle’s Cafe and interacted with patrons and those who stopped by to show their support.

A Little Anger and a LOT of Persistence

History has a way of finding a home at Doyle’s Cafe. It’s 1984, and a young businessman showed up at Doyle’s, so angry that his face was busting out red, because the posh Ritz-Carlton told him his beer “wasn’t up to their standards.”

Mainly Bud drinkers at the time, Doyle’s owner Mr. Burke, put his beer on tap anyway. In 10 minutes, everyone loved it! The beer was Samuel Adams Boston Lager.

The rest is history! Doyle’s now carries quite the Sam Adams Beer selection including Brick Red, Cherry Wheat, Angry Orchard Cider and seasonal beers, currently Octoberfest. Not only did Sam Adams find a home at Doyle’s, but just a few years later the free trolley tours to the brewery and Doyle’s became a hit, creating a strong tourist hot spot.

So who was that anxious, persistent sales rep, you ask? He was none other than Jim Koch, the founder and chairman of the Boston Beer Co. (Source http://su.pr/5cRJdz)

Pair in Brews

Move over wine! There’s a new pair in town: Beer and Food!

Food and wine deliver a fine match for foodies and wine enthusiasts alike. With its intricate characteristics and melodic notes, wine carries its weight and provides a full body experience that marries fine dining nicely. Beer too carries its own weight with wheat, brown and pale ales offering bitter and sweet notes that compliment ethnic and America cuisines.

According to John Fischer (Cheers Magazine, 2012), beer is better for food pairing. The bitter notes compliment the rich oils and creams that compose many popular dishes. He suggests that beer makes for a better pair with Indian, Thai, Tex-Mex and barbecue. In his Beer’s Better article, Fischer teaches the basic principles of pairing beer with your favorite dish.

1. Think colors: Beige with beige and brown with brown. A nicely seared steak and an amber or brown ale have similar flavors and sweetness.

2. Your brew should be as sweet as the food. Think ethnic and savory!

3. Consider the obvious – Beers come in a range of color, flavors and body and aromas. Unlike wine, beer provides a larger range of bitter, simple and more complex notes to marry foods together well.

Check out Doyle’s Cafe’s robust draft beers and create your own pair!
