Uruguayan Meat And Craft Beer Pairing

Sample a selection of prime Uruguayan beef paired with craft beers at a popular downtown brew pub. On the drive there, you will stop for photos of landmarks such as Independence Square, the glorious Legislative Palace and La Carreta, a bronze sculpture that depicts the area’s 19th-century oxcart drivers. Commentary will describe their significance. Montevideo is just as well-known for its delicious high-quality beef, as most cattle are grass-fed in natural pastures. At the Matute brew pub, you will sample selections of beef from different breeds of cattle raised in different areas of Uruguay. The meats will be cooked in a cast-iron skillet rather than grilled to help maintain their natural juices and nutrients. Thoughtfully chosen beers will be served to complement the beef dishes. They may include a refreshing lager, a red IPA and a malty porter, brewed on the premises in a process that you will be shown.
