Pancakes & Pints

A Match Made in Heaven

For millennia the human race has tried to employ semiotics to find any form of meaningful, introspective insight into their own personalities.

Some look to the stars and zodiac signs, others through rigorous scientific quizzes designed by OK Magazine.

We here at Brightside prefer to taxonomize our personality types by our preferences for pairing Beer with Pancakes. 

Below you’ll find our favourite Beer and Pancake pairings and learn what your favourite says about you…

Or Head to our Brewery Shop to find beer for your own perfect pairing. 

Odin / A Classic Crepe with Lemon & Sugar

Safe? Maybe. Dependable? Absolutely. Delicious? Without a doubt! 

Classics are classics for a reason and a solid pint of Odin makes perfect sense in this pairing. These two choices are almost identical in every way…. 

– They are both flat 

– They are both round (when viewed from above) 

– They keep it simple 

No frills, bells or whistles, just let the individual components shine, all working harmoniously in perfect balance.  

What your pancakes say about you? 

You know what you want and you like what you like.  You do things the way you’ve always done things, because it works.

If it ain’t broke, Don’t fix it!  

Maverick / A Full Fluffy Stack Coated in Maple Syrup

Bold, Brash and an incredibly hearty/unhealthy way to start the morning! 

Taking inspiration from our American cousins the only way these two options could be more stateside is if we loaded them up with rashers of crispy streaky bacon.

Packed full of flavour and not afraid to shout about it and stuffed with all the stuff a growing boy needs, both these options are about 100% maximising enjoyment. 

Who cares about the extra calories when life tastes this good? 

What your pancakes say about you? 

You’re having a good time and you don’t care who knows! You want every sip to be hop fuelled and every bite to be smothered in syrup.

Life is for living, not for sensible decision making! 

 

 

Brew'd West Coast IPA / Savoury Pancakes with Cheddar & Sour Cream

You just have to be different, don’t you?! 

You like your pancakes savoury and we all need to hear about it! 

‘Sorry if that doesn’t fit into to your “Societal Norms” or is too “out of the box” for you!’

We get it! It’s not for everyone, but we think it’s damn tasty, with more than a touch of class… 

The Beer’s got plenty of hops, but not in the new fangled way they do on the east coast – this pairing is for real aficionados, us hipsters who were here before it was cool, when beer was piney and brunch came with all the avocado you could eat! 

What your pancakes say about you? 

You  like to Zig when others Zag, but you remember when zagging was cool. You’re a true connoisseur, you understand taste and subtlety, and it’s your duty to educate others on the facts! 

 

 

Black Forest Stout / Nutella & Berries Dessert Pancake

A treat is a treat, but at it’s core we all know decadence is sweet tasting! 

Chocolate, berries, cherries. All sumptuous and luxurious… If we’re all agreeing that it’s fine to have cake for breakfast then we are going to do it right and it’s going to be chocolate cake! 

The same goes for beer – No half measures! We don’t want to hear about chocolatey notes unless our first sip smacks us in the chops like Bruce Bogtrotter’s platter from Matilda!  

What your pancakes say about you? 

It’s not just about having a sweet tooth, it’s about a commitment to doing things right!

If we’re going in, we’re going all in!
