Chicagoist's "Beer of the Week:" Southern Tier "Phin & Matt's Extraordinary Ale"

Tangy barbecue calls for a good pale ale. This American pale ale from Southern Tier Brewing pairs well with the tangy "pork wings" from Flo & Santos. It's brewed with whole hops and barley malt. While it isn't as spicy as, say, Daisy Cutter, Phin & Matt's does have a slight peppery note on the palate, complemented beautifully by the barley malt. this is a wonderful beer to ease your way into the cooler weeks ahead.

You can also find Phin & Matt's at Hackney's Printers Row , Jaks Tap, and fine liquor stores around town.
