Today’s Meatless Monday recipe comes to us courtesy of Mar Routson, aka Ashley’s mom. In the past, we discovered that miso soup is an excellent pair with our IPA. The salty, earthiness of the soup heightens the hop profile of our IPA — making the citrus, pine and floral notes of the organic hops really shine through. The cooling nature of the hops also compliments the spiciness of the fresh ginger and red pepper flakes. The crisp and refreshing nature of our IPA is a palate cleanser for this dish, making every bite taste like the first.
Enjoy!!!
