Much has been written about matching food with wine, but what about our national tipple - beer? Highly acclaimed celebrity chef and restaurateur Simon Rimmer has teamed up with family brewer Robinsons to create three bottled beers, specially handcrafted, to go with steak, chicken and curry. "Every bloke wants to create his own perfect pint....I'm the luckiest bloke in the world because I get to create three," said Simon. "Not only can beer be used as a key ingredient in a wide range of recipes, but it is also a great accompaniment to enjoy alongside our favourite dishes; complementing and bringing out the very best flavours in our food as the world's best wines do. The subtleties of beer are perfect for complex food matching." The beer is being brewed by Robinsons, one of Britain's most respected independent family-owned brewers, who have been brewing award-winning beers from their Unicorn brewery in Stockport for over 175 years. Probably their best known ale is the legendary "Old Tom" strong ale.
