The sun’s constant bait- and-switch routine is getting a little tired and my emotions have found temporary GLUTEN solace in the comfort of all things starchy. FREE While planning out an outline for this PANCAKES! current edition of Chews and Brews, I was sitting in the Glenwood eating a grilled 6am-2pm bacon and cheese sandwich with a monster MON-FRI side of french fries as my server graciously kept fueling my Diet Coke addiction. So 6am-3pm naturally, thoughts of nutrition, seasonal SAT & SUN vegetables and winter dieting techniques were nowhere to be found. As I typed away OPEN multiple carbohydrate-loaded pitches to SINCE discuss with my staff, flavorful dreams of 1965 local stouts, Swedish pancakes and buttered cornbread kept trumping the more sensible food groups. Instead of reeling it back, I took it as a sign that I must not be the only person with these comfort food urges.

I’ll be the first to admit it: my knowledge of beer is limited to grabbing whatever IPA happens to be in my fridge. Words in pairing guides like “lacing,” “retention” and “mouthfeel” sound simple enough, but ultimately leave you no more knowledgeable than when you started reading, and I’m probably the last person on the planet who could tell you what they mean. In the spirit of taking on new knowledge, though, I decided to take on the charts, webs and lists that make up the bewildering world of beer pairings. If someone can perfectly couple brews with Girl Scout cookies, I’m certainly capable of finding a beer to sip with my pizza. The result is a mixture of fact and conjecture at best (at worst, it’s straight up, well intentioned fiction –– so sue me, Cicerones!) with some local ales and where to find them to help create some perfect comfort food and alcohol marriages –– all so you can create the luxury of beer pairings in your own home. by erin weaver

6 All About the Growler Typically made out of glass or stainless steel, growlers are the eco-friendly alternative to buying bottled beers and are the popular go-to when getting beer from local tap-only breweries like Eugene’s Falling Sky or Sam Bonds. They can be bought at most breweries –– frequently adorned with the establishment’s logo –– and grocery stores, including the campus favorite Hirons. There are also establishments that specialize in growler fill-ups and bring many local kegs under one roof for a convenient growler one-stop-shop.
