Does Pasta Work With Beer?



Fuller's ESB Champion Ale:
A classic English dark ale. Smooth full bodied and bursting with flavour, with marmalade fruitiness throughout, ESBs rich malty notes are balanced by a unique blend of Northdown, Target, Chalanger and Goldings hops, to give a long, satisfying finish.
One all to common fault I found with this beer is that only comes in a 500ml bottle. (European standard pint.) Ye olde British pint weighs in at liver swelling 638ml.
As for beer with pasta:
I went as far north as possible with this one. Think German Italian boarder, wild boar, fungi, soft cheeses and the like. Big tastes in a pasta like this one call for a full bodied beer sreved a bit warmer than most Aussies like at around 12 degrees C.
