    Making this fish now. Curious what type of beer to go with it. I was thinking a sour or saison on the tart side. Thoughts/recs?

    I'm going to say an American Pales, because they go with pretty much anything. That said, I'm not a big fan of fish/seafood with cheese

    Assuming it's not battered (or super spicy/parmesany), a light sour or saison would do well. I wouldn't go with most American interpretations as it would most likely overpower the fish.

    Depending on what else is in the dish, you could also go with a Flemish Red, a Czech/German pils or a hefe.

    For future reference, you'll be hard-pressed to find anything that Duvel doesn't pair well with...
