question: What is a good beer pairing for Pan seared venison with fruit salad side?
answer: A great choice for Pan seared venison with fruit salad side is Riptide (Twisted Merciless Stout.). Here's the recipe:
  This Twisted Merciless Stout. features a complex malt bill including Maris Otter Extra Pale (5.36 kilograms), Dark Crystal 350-400 (0.71 kilograms), and Carafa Special Malt Type 3 (0.18 kilograms). The hopping schedule uses Columbus (14.3grams @ start), and Galena (14.3grams @ start) for balanced bitterness and aroma. We recommend adding the chocolate malt at the start of the run off to ensure you extract the flavour and colour without imparting too much of the astringency of the malt into your wort. This will give the beer a really smooth mouthfeel, making this dangerously drinkable at 8% ABV.
