We taste-tested the menu, which includes combinations like ceviche with Jalapeño Mexican Lager and machaka (shredded brisket) with That Amber.

Jeff Tyler is passionate about beer pairings. Even before co-founding at 8775 East Orchard Road in Greenwood Village, he hosted beer dinners, but at the restaurant, “they only happened a couple times a year,” Tyler says. “They’re a ton of fun, but we have to close down the dining room, come up with new dishes and beer pairings [each time]. So we wanted our customers to experience this all the time, any time of year, and have that experience curated.

What we thought: The ceviche was well executed and paired very well with the jalapeño lager, which had a low to low-medium heat to it. The texture, flavor and salt were on point, and the dish was bright, with a good flavor. A great summer patio dish.Fried plantains paired with Little Umbrella What we thought: The brisket in the machaka was smoked to perfection. It was strong without being overpowering. The tortillas, rice and beans were a nice touch, and the pepper sauce on the plate really brought everything together. The malty, slightly nutty and biscuit component in That Amber complemented this dish very well.

What we thought: King Montezuma is a big beer, clocking in at 12 percent ABV. In a way, this beer sort of defines what Spice Trade is all about. It’s chocolate-heavy, as you’d expect from a modern imperial stout, but the underlying vanilla, cinnamon and peppers provide depth. The flavors are not overpowering; when you go to a typical brewery and see ingredients like this in a stout, you often expect to be hit over the head with those flavors.
