PAIRED®
PAIRED unites independent craft breweries and 25 acclaimed chefs nationwide to celebrate the intricacies and possibilities of pairing beer and food. Mouth-watering delicacies are hand-crafted to pair perfectly with 50 special beers not found anywhere else in the festival hall.
This year’s chefs range from James Beard Award nominees and winners, Michelin Star chefs, and Food and Wine Best New Chefs to one current (and doing very well) Top Chef contestant. To add to that even further, we have two world pizza champions this year throwing dough at PAIRED.
