Elk Roast Paired w/ Samuel Adams Gold Rush
Elk migrate with the seasons, and beer evolves with the times of the culture. This elk roast paired with Samuel Adams Gold Rush is more than just a meal—it’s my personal lesson in adaptation. The earthiness of the meat, the brightness of tomatoes, and the honeyed malt of the beer create a pairing worth exploring.
