Suggested Pairing
Marnie's original pairing choice, a Chilean Cabernet, overpowered the burger and the remoulade. So she swapped in a Malbec, which "pulls out the lamb's great flavors," she said. Sam Calagione's selection, Brooklyn Brewery Brown Ale, was even more successful. Made from roasted malt, it has deep caramel and coffee flavors "that are great with the charred burger," Sam said. Marnie agreed. "Plus the carbonation is really refreshing here," she said.
