Binged all your Thin Mints and Tagalongs yet? If you’ve still got a stash, here are some beer and cookie pairings to try.
If you haven’t already binged all yourThe scout cookie tradition began in 1917 with simple sugar cookies, baked by the girls from a shared recipe and sold to raise funds for the scouting program. Today, of course, the cookies are commercially produced, and there are a dozen different types in the Girl Scouts of America cookie portfolio.Crisp, chocolate glazed Thin Mints are the most popular cookies by far. A 2020 poll had nearly a quarter of the respondents listing it as their favorite.
These crisp caramel-coconut cookies are known as Samoas or Caramel deLites, depending on where you live. Pair these with a malty beer that has lots of caramel notes and that’s strong enough to stand up to the coconut. Spring is upon us, but a winter beer — Anchor Christmas Ale or Anderson Valley’s Winter Solstice — would be wonderful. Doppelbocks, barley wine , a Belgian quadruple, a Scotch ale, or anything bourbon-barrel aged would be a good choice.
Another option: Embrace the coconut with Maui Brewing’s Coconut Hiwa Porter or Pacifica Brewing’s Tiki Bar, which is brewed with coconut, key lime and tamarind.Tagalongs, the chocolate-coated peanut putter patties, are my favorite cookies. There are a few breweries making peanut butter stouts and porters, which seem like obvious choices here.
Another option: Look for the imported Wells & Young’s Banana Bread Beer and channel your inner Elvis.Doing Do-Si-Dos or Peanut Butter Sandwich cookies? These crunchy sandwich cookies need something lighter and malty so as not to overpower their oatmeal and peanut butter flavors. That would be a malty Oktoberfest or Märzen, a brown ale, hazy IPA or pale bock.
Trefoils are traditional shortbread cookies emblazoned with the Girl Scout’s iconic symbol. Because of their simple butter flavor, almost any beer would pair well. I’m partial to Anchor Steam Beer or other lighter styles, such as ESB, a wheat beer or witbier. Going in the opposite direction might yield some interesting results, though — North Coast’s Old Rasputin Imperial Stout, perhaps, or Alaskan Smoked Porter.
