Food For Thought:
Emu being a popularist mainstream beer will see it enjoyed mostly for its drink-ability than an association with a culinary compatibility. This is not to say that it cannot grace the dinner table as an ideal accompaniment to light flavours such as fried foods and seafood. Try Emu with lamb and pork dishes with medium flavoured sauces like marsala and diane. Like a lot of Aussie lagers Emu will go with spicy asian dishes well, such as Indian curries and hot Thai salads. Nevertheless there is nothing like an icy Emu on hot dry day to clear the cobwebs.
