Take your next date night up a notch with these must-try local Stella Artois food pairings, featuring three local spots picked by our team!

Stella + Ribeye

Cork’n Cleaver / Ribeye Steak

Tender and succulent, the Cork’n Cleaver’s house aged, slow roasted, hand-cut Ribeye Steak is 14oz of center-cut, prime rib deliciousness. Pair with the signature crispness of a Stella Artois to nicely contrast and compliment the meat’s rich, buttery, flavors without overwhelming. 

Bonus pairing: Finish your meal with a Stella Artois and a slice of New York Style Cheesecake. Trust us.

WHY A CHALICE?

Stella + Ahi Tuna

Maxwells / Sesame Seared Ahi Tuna

Maxwells’ Sesame Seared Ahi Tuna with Asian Noodles, Soy Sauce, Pickled Ginger & Wasabi is a umami symphony that craves the spritzy carbonation of a full-flavored and refreshing Stella Artois to help ground the palate between bites and accentuate all this dish has to offer.

Bonus pairing: Move over wine. Beer and Cheese is where it’s at. More specifically Stella Artois and Maxwells’ Artisan Cheese Plate. Pro tip: add on the cured meats.

A sophisticated Belgian lager, Stella Artois has a history that dates back to 1366. The time-honored brewing process begins with only the finest natural ingredients, including exquisite saaz hops from the Czech Republic and a unique strain of yeast that has been a cherished secret for several centuries.

Stella + Fries

Prairie Kitchen / Gruyere French Fries

What more complimentary pairing could there be for beer than the crispy, salty french fry? Top those french fries with rosemary and Gruyere cheese, and make that beer a Stella Artois to experience the delicious balance of salty, creamy, richness and refreshing levity.

Bonus pairing: Make it a date with Stella Artois and Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Dates. Salty, crisp bacon, sweet dates, sharp blue cheese and the subtle tang of the balsamic reduction paired with a Stella Artois. Need we say more?
