Skip the wine this Thanksgiving and pick up some bottles from Lightning Brewery<\/a>.\u00a0 Their malty selection (the license plate of their delivery van: BIGMALT) is perfect for America\u2019s favorite hearty-meal holiday.<\/p>\n

First, the 7.7%ABV American Amber Ale<\/a> would work well for the main course mainstays.\u00a0 It\u2019s versatile, too, self-described as being \u201cgreat at a backyard barbecue\u201d and \u201cwhen served in a wine glass it can be enjoyed at any sit down dinner.”<\/p>\n

Next, Lightning\u2019s Electrostatic Ale<\/a> will give you a nice shock with any dessert.\u00a0 The hints of spice go with a pumpkin pie, for example, while the \u201clight, playful, champagne-like bubbles\u201d will make you forgot about that bottle of Brut in the fridge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For Friday’s lunch o’ leftovers, give your tired taste buds a jump-start with Lightning’s Fair Weather Pale Ale<\/a> and turkey tacos.\u00a0 If you\u2019re a bit hungover, go heavy on the avocado, but don\u2019t forget the cilantro and salsa on a big whole wheat tortilla.<\/p>\n

Lightning\u2019s motto: \u201cOur methods are scientific, but our goals are artistic.\u201d\u00a0 They\u2019ve definitely got the art of brewing the unique and the unusual down to a science.<\/p>\n
