The setting: Parking lot, cold and damp, thousands of excited fans; yes, tailgate city. We’ll need disposable or compostable cups for this. And Tabasco, Louisiana’s culinary curative. We use Chipotle for smokiness; feel free to bring your own spice.
Tailgate
Dash Chipotle Tabasco
1 ounce rye
Ice cold beer with good hoppy flavor
Put a dash of Tabasco in a plastic cup, add rye and pour in the beer. No swizzle stick, no garnish. Just hand over the burger, please.
Tasting notes: Great BarBQ companion, a smokey, saucy, fresh beer attitude. Drink it cold.
Tomorrow: Touchdown!
