E211: BGR211: Big Game Beers and Pork Rind Pairing

The Superb Owl is coming and you're going to need some beer...

It's time for the biggest football matchup of the year, which is also a great excuse for some killer parties.  The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers throw down in Miami this Sunday and we're ready for the party.  To prep for the festivities we sampled a few beers from the team's cities and talk about Super Bowl stats, food and beer stats, and pairing pork rinds with your beers.

We kickoff with San Francisco's 21st Amendment's El Sully Mexican Lager, then move into Q2 with some Kansas City brew and Boulevard's Tank 7 American Saison.  San Fran comes back strong in the 3rd with Anchor Brewing's Old Foghorn English Barleywine and we finish out the game with a wildcard from Michigan, Bell's Hopslam.

Fun fact... Super Bowl Sunday is also National Pork Rind Appreciation Day.  Seriously.  To celebrate this glorious holiday we're joined by Chef Reuben Wood who offers up pairing suggestions with a variety of Southern Recipe pork rinds.  He also shares some info on a contest at porkrinds.com running during the Big Game where they'll be giving away over $2500 in prizes and supporting the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund.

No matter who your root for, make sure you're party is in point!
