To launch the new Connoisseur’s Choice range of premium beers, Sharp's Brewery have teamed up with three of the UK’s most inspiring chefs to search for a true connoisseur of beer and food.
The Connoisseurs Choice 2011 range offers drinkers three unique beers:
Single Brew 4.5% AVB
Mid golden in colour with a fresh, herbal citrus aroma and a clean, refreshing finish, the beer is excellent when paired with light white fish dishes or as an aperitif.
Honey Spice Triple 10% AVB
A specialist Trappist yeast is used, giving the beer a wonderful tartness and a long dry finish. This beer could be matched with desserts featuring banana or toffee or a creamy goats cheese dish.
Quadrupel Ale 10% AVB
This dark ruby beer is full and warming with a wonderful fruit aroma and intense bittersweet flavour. Quadrupel Ale could work really well with dark chocolate, fruit flavours or strong cheese and is an excellent alternative to a dessert wine.

The Prize:
Our three chefs will each choose their favourite dish and beer pairing. The three finalists will receive a day of mentoring with the chef that chooses their dish; a unique opportunity to hone your skills with one of the UK’s finest!
The three finalists will then compete in a ‘cook-off’ to be held at The Seafood School in Padstow, Cornwall, after which one winner will be crowned ‘Sharp’s Connoisseur for 2012’!

As our ‘Sharp’s Connoisseur’, you’ll be provided with exclusive first
tastes of any new beers released during your winning period, a meal for
two at your chef-mentor’s restaurant, a private tour of the brewery and
beer tasting plus a night’s accommodation for two in Cornwall.
The Competition:
With the help of Nathan Outlaw, Jack Stein and Alyn Williams, we’re on the search to find the UK’s ultimate beer and food connoisseur.
Watch the videos starring our celebrity chefs to discover how they’ve paired quality food with each of the three beers, and then enter the competition to create a dish yourself.
Choose your beer, try the range (or read the tasting notes), then create a dish that you believe will go perfectly with your chosen ale. Name your dish, list your ingredients and describe your method, then tell us about your dish. For bonus points, take a picture of your dish or submit a video of you preparing it (the more entertaining the better!)
The competition is now open over at FaceBook until 15th September 2012
