Athletic Brewing Run Wild NA IPA and CT Food Mart Energy Balls
So, the whole beer and cookie focus isn’t the most health focused kind of idea, indulgence is kind of the name of the game. With this pairing we went as healthy as a beer and cookie could possibly be. A super low calorie non-alcoholic beer and a variety of energy balls from the Connecticut natural food store, what fun!
Beer: Run Wild is a non alcoholic IPA. We mentioned it as one of the best offerings from Athletic brewing, when we recently visited.
Cookie: These cookies are energy balls, they are part cookie, part granola bar. They are soft and very peanut buttery treats. They make them over at the CT natural food mart in Wallingford. They are really good, like most things from this grocery store. (Super advice: get the BLT pasta salad, it is ridiculously good)
So the energy balls are soft and gooey peanutbuttery balls with oats and a variety of chocolates and candies and coconut. I haven’t had one I wouldn’t eat again. Although they are all kind of the same, even the most wild looking one kind of tastes the same as the others.
Pairing: I thought this was a nice little pairing. The beer is light and interesting the balls aren’t as light but they have a lightness about them. Also, I could of had quite a few and I wouldn’t have been drunk or over til. A big win.
