Goat Ragù with Fresh Spaghetti

Pairing: Chef Chris Pandel of The Bristol worked with Goose Island Brewery to create a black IPA called A Beer Named Sue, a crisp beer with a dark color that belies its lightness.

"Goat has just enough richness to combat an IPA's bitterness," he says (lamb shoulder makes a great substitute). For an easier-to-find beer alternative, serve this dish with 21st Amendment's Back in Black from San Francisco.
