Super bowl Sunday: Chili and PATH Pale Ale Beer
A Super Bowl of Chili with a Tasty Locally Brewed Beer for your Super Bowl Sunday
The Beer
PATH Pale Ale
Colby Janisch, Tucker Littleton, and Andrew Brown Started with a 3 gallon pot and a home brewing kit, which eventually fermented into a full-fledged craft brewery business out of Apartment 902 in Hoboken, NJ.
Today bars, restaurants and fine retail shops all over are lucky to get some of their, Heaven Hell or Hoboken American IPA, Path Pale Ale, True Hoboken, Black Dynamite, Black IPA, and seasonal and limited release, SPF 13 Summer Ale, and Doubled Parked, Double IPA.
We chose to use 902’s Black Dynamite Black IPA, to include in our off the hook Chili recipe because it will enhance the flavor of the beef, and 902’s, Path Pale Ale to complement the rich hearty chili because of its light crisp malty notes lifted by slight citrus, with well integrated hops.
Medium light in body with a reasonable alcohol content of 5.2%, you can drink this beer with the chili, and thru the whole game.
