The proverb "casting pearls before swine" originates from the Bible. In the Gospel of Matthew, it is said that one should not give anything sacred to dogs or pearls to pigs. Figuratively speaking, this passage means that one should not offer anything valuable to anyone who does not appreciate it. Today, we primarily use this expression to express our displeasure when someone responds to a gift or kind gesture with ingratitude or ignorance.
We approach the fantastic beer creations from Lervig Brewery with the utmost respect. Perler For Svin is a hop-forward masterpiece that should be savored slowly and with devotion. This powerful IPA rewards us with a substantial 6.3% ABV and an intense symphony of ripe stone fruits, golden mango, citrus peel, pine resin, and exotic lychee. The explosion of tropical fruit notes is thanks to dry hopping with the hop varieties Azzaca, Mosaic, and Simcoe. Perler For Svin has a medium body and balances the abundance of fruit with a gentle bitterness.
To properly celebrate this fine wine, we like to pair it with a lovely dinner. Because creamy, flavorful cheese goes perfectly with the light, juicy beer, we recommend homemade Käsespätzle (cheese spaetzle) with Gruyère, roasted onions, and finely chopped chives, served with a green salad.
