question: What is a good beer pairing for Coq Au Vin?
answer: A great choice for Coq Au Vin is Blonde Export Stout (Beatnik Brewing Collective 2017.). Here's the recipe:
  Our Equity Punk gypsy brewery - Beatnik Brewing Collective - voted for this recipe as their 2017 annual brew. A blonde stout brewed to export strength, the stout character comes from extra ingredients instead of dark malts.
  ABV: 7% | IBU: 55
  Malts:
  - Pale Ale (5.3 kilograms)
  - Wheat (0.8 kilograms)
  - Flaked Oats (0.8 kilograms)
  - Smoked Malt (0.2 kilograms)
  Hops:
  - Magnum (7grams @ 60)
  - Mandarina Bavaria (33grams @ 0)
  - Callista (33grams @ 0)
  - Ground Coffee (33grams @ 0)
  - Cocoa Nibs (33grams @ Dry Hop)
  - Oak Chips (33grams @ Dry Hop)
  - Vanilla (3grams @ Dry Hop)
  Yeast: Wyeast 1272 - American Ale II™
  Method: Mash: 66°celsius for 30min
  Tip: An oxymoron of a beer. The cocoa nibs are vital in providing that stout like flavour without the associated colour.
