“Let Them Cook!” from our Summer issue explores the role PAIRED, the signature dining experience at the Great American Beer Festival Great American Beer Festival, has played in bringing America’s top chefs together with legendary craft breweries. The assignment: create dishes influenced by pours, with each made better by the other. 🧑🏽🍳🍻
We go behind the scenes of this beloved GABF tradition, where chefs and brewers push each other creatively, unexpected pairings take shape, and the freshest of fresh ingredients get their moment to shine.
