Plan a beer recipe inspired by a favorite food

ASSIGNMENT

Share a plan for a beer recipe that is inspired by a favorite food. By completing this project you will gain a better understanding of how flavors are infused into beer. Because this is a class about the creative process, submitting a concept for your beer to the project gallery is a great way to stretch your mind and flavor palette. I can't even count the amount of concepts I've come up with that have yet to be brewed, but I always try to think of something new using this exact process.

DELIVERABLE

Share your plan for a beer flavor inspired by a favorite food.

Your written project should include:

The name of the beer
The food you would be emulating
Any key ingredients that would be instrumental in achieving the emulation flavor

Bonus points for giving your brew a shot! Would love to hear how it turns out.
