question: What is a good beer pairing for Shortbread and raspberry jam thumbprint cookie?
answer: A great choice for Shortbread and raspberry jam thumbprint cookie is Vagabond Pilsner (Hoppy Pilsner.). Here's the recipe:
  This Hoppy Pilsner. features a complex malt bill including Extra Pale (3.5 kilograms), Munich (0.44 kilograms), and Crystal 150 (0.13 kilograms). The hopping schedule uses Cascade (6.25grams @ start), and Amarillo (6.25grams @ start) for balanced bitterness and aroma. The addition of the acidulated malt tweaks the pH down to aid the yeast fermentation, and helps to creates the crisp lager bite. Be careful not to use more than 10% in any grist, it will turn your mash into jelly!
