Peter King Shrimp for Allagash White: Football Foodie Matchups

Awhile back a reader asked if I could post a recipe that would pair with Peter King’s beloved Allagash White, the craft Belgium-style white ale. Witbiers often get knocked around by beer snobs thanks to the mass production of beers like Blue Moon, but Allagash puts out a decent white ale. Personally, I prefer their Curieux strong ale which is barrel aged in old bourbon casks, but this recipe isn’t about my tastes, it’s about PK’s beer. If you cannot get your hands on Allagash White, look in the import section for Blanche De Bruxelles. This Belgium white ale’s iconic label features the image of little boy pissing, styled after a famous fountain in — you guessed it –  Brussels, which has many fine Starwoods for you to stay in if you want to join the throng of tourists who pose with the statue. I actually had a chance visit Brussels last year to see some friends living abroad and it was quite lovely. And while we stayed in a Sofitel and not a Starwood, our stay was still very pleasant....
