There is the Mimosa, which is made up of orange juice and champagne. And then there is the Mymosa--my version of the Mimosa, made with orange juice and beer. Fresh squeezed orange juice combined with a crisp, wheat beer is a refreshing take on the popular brunch beverage.
Mymosas are made with equal parts orange juice (fresh, if possible) and wheat beer.
Here are a few beers that pair well:
Allagash Brewing Company, Portland, Maine
Allagash White is a fruity and complex medium-bodied beer, spiced with coriander and orange peel. The hearty spices complement the bright citrus notes. And orange juice adds a level of sweetness while highlighting the orange peel.
Lost Coast Brewery, Eureka, California
Tangerine Wheat Ale is a delightful citrus beer with a bright tangerine aroma and flavor. It's pleasant and bittersweet. The bitterness of the hops level the sweetness of the tangerine. It's a natural pairing with orange juice!
3) Great White
Lost Coast Brewery, Eureka, California
This beer is ultra crisp and refreshing with orange juice. It's spiced with both coriander and a blend of Humboldt herbs, which give it a light citrus flavor.
*Serve Mymosas chilled and enjoy!
*If you're ever in Eureka, make sure you visit the brewery! It's a great place to
unwind with tasty beer!
so glad I discovered your fab blog! Your photography is excellent.
ReplyDeleteYou're very sweet, thank you!
DeleteOkay so i must try the Mymosa...because sometimes a girl just wants a beer, but it's a little too early to really justify one!
