Pairing food and beer is really a matter of personal taste. I thought I would try a strong IPA with deep fried scallops and it worked very well. My wife is Japanese so we do the panko style. Season the scallops and then dust with flour, dredge in egg wash and cover with panko. Deep fry until golden and pair with your favorite beer.
The Sierra Nevada Torpedo is a very strong IPA at 7.2 ABV. It is a full flavored IPA and I thought it went well with deep fried food. It has a nice dark golden color and pungent smell. This is one of the craft type beers that can be found everywhere so I need not go into details as if it were some unusual find. Enjoy!
