CHICAGO — The idea of pairing beer with Girl Scout cookies has been around a few years, and it always struck me as largely ridiculous. And not the good ridiculous — the gimmicky ridiculous. The only thing gimmickier, it seemed, was pairing beer with Halloween candy (which is also a thing).
I didn’t doubt the merit of beer coexisting with Girl Scout cookies; Beer is remarkably versatile alongside food, whether sweet or savory, haute or street.
The idea is just so ... gimmicky.
