Expert Craft Beer and Cajun Food Pairings: Part Two from Crying Eagle Brewing Co.

Last month, Crying Eagle Brewing Co. brewer Joel Prudhomme shared exceptional beer and food pairings that impressed us all. Like many enthusiasts, we craved more—especially with crisp fall weather arriving and tailgating season in full swing.

Discover two more outstanding combinations of Crying Eagle beers and Cajun classics that are guaranteed to delight.

Note: These exclusive brews are available only at Crying Eagle's taproom. To enjoy them at home, visit and fill a growler or two.

Gumbo + Pistol Bridge Porter

After browning your roux and incorporating it into the stock, add a can of Pistol Bridge Porter. Its roasted malt profile enhances the deep, rich flavors of the roux. Once your gumbo has simmered slowly for days in a cast iron cauldron, pour a glass of Pistol Bridge Porter to complement it perfectly. C'est un pairing complémentaire, mes chers amis!
