With expanded styles and options available to consumers, beer has become a beverage to learn more about, to try out, to talk about and to pair with food. To explore these pairings in-depth, chef Daniel Burns and gypsy brewer Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø— whose shared space in Greenpoint, Brooklyn includes the beer bar Tørst and Luksus, a 16-seat tasting menu restaurant—collaborated to produce Food & Beer (Phaidon, $49.95), a chef cookbook about beer and food pairings. It breaks the two topics down by the ten flavors most closely shared; Jarnit-Bjergsø offers specific styles that embody these flavors while Burns pairs these with a recipe from Tørst. It's a match made in beer heaven! On the Go r your customers' summer gatherings. Picnic Perfect No one wants to show up for an elegant afternoon with a wine or liquor bottle in a brown paper bag.

Instead of sending a guest home with a blank, boring one, look to Lazer Etc., which sells customizable, stainless steel growlers in 32-ounce and 64-ounce sizes. Every time they use it, they will be reminded of that tasty brew and the brewery or beer bar that served it to them. That's what we call killing two birds with one growler!
