Feb 8: The Big Game
Kickoff is at 6:30p ET / 3:30p PT.
What to Brew
You can't have a viewing party with just one style. You need a roster that can go the distance. We recommend tapping these three for the big game:
Sunlit (Lager) | 4.7%
The "Gold Standard" A classic, golden lager for the purist. Sunlit is smooth and refreshing with a premium finish that puts store-bought cans to shame. It’s the beer you want in your hand when the game is on the line.
Why you’ll love it: It’s a sophisticated, high-quality pint that looks as good as it tastes. A true "host's beer."
Whole Nine Yards (Cloudy Apple Cider) | 5.6%
The "Refresher" Every great spread needs a wildcard. This cloudy cider is tart, crisp, and just the right amount of sweet. It’s a fantastic alternative for guests looking for something outside of the traditional beer lineup.
Why you’ll love it: It’s a brilliant palate cleanser between heavy bites of cheese dip and sliders.
Dog House (Double IPA) | 6.2%
The "Full-Bodied Powerhouse" Dog House IPA brings a punchy hit of peach, mango and pineapple - tropical, juicy, and seriously drinkable.
Why you’ll love it: Its robust character and tropical fruit finish make it the perfect partner for rich, fatty foods like gourmet burgers or loaded nachos.
What to Bake
We all know the Pinter delivers the freshest pint in the house, but the magic doesn't stop there. Take "homemade" to a whole new level by upcycling your trub (the leftover yeast and sediment from your fermentation) into the ultimate pizza crust.
It’s the ultimate conversation starter. "Yeah, the beer and the crust are both Pinter-powered."
We’ve got the official guide to using trub right here, but check out these results from Pinter community member Keegan Raabe, who recently shared his play-by-play in the US Pinter Facebook group.
"I used the recipe on the Pinter website but instead of the recommended rise instructions for pizza dough I let it rise a little longer like I was making bread. then spread it out, put the sauce, cheese and toppings on then put it in the oven at 550° for about 12 min!"
