Pastoral is having a blast with the myriad of events around the city for Chicago Craft Beer Week. We even revamped our beer selection for the occasion! We have brought in several new beers with the intention of further showcasing the broad spectrum of beer styles as they relate to pairing with our broad spectrum of cheese, chocolate, and charcuterie offerings.

Pairing #6

Collesi Imper Ambrata and Whimsical Nougat

Brewery: Birra Tenuta Collesi
Style: Amber Ale
Region: Apechio, Marche, Italy
ABV: 7.5%

Another fantastic example of complexity and craftsmanship, this amber isn’t coppery nor cloying. A rolling, velvety carpet of almond and walnut with sticky caramel and slight pipe tobacco. Try our Nougat bar made specifically for Pastoral from Whimsical Candy with this import and call it dessert (or lunch).
