Contrary to the beliefs of bacon, brisket, and gouda aficionados everywhere, there can be such a thing as too much smoke There\u2019s a temptation to up the ante with smoke\u2014rauchbier with weisswurst (sausage), dense porter with baby back ribs\u2014but many chefs are finding that the sweet spot for beer and smoked food is one of a reciprocal relationship, managing the level of smoke intake for a more pleasurable meal.<\/p>\n

The truth is, not all smoke is the same. Chef Isaac Toups of Toups\u2019 Meatery in Mid-City, New Orleans, uses a large variety of woods for smoking various meats and the results demand different beers. Whether cooking in the ad hoc at-home smoker he built out of firebricks in his backyard\u2014with grill grates and crawfish pot lids on top\u2014or the restaurant\u2019s new custom-made smoker built by Riverside Meat Smokers from Linwood, Kansas, there\u2019s variety in intensity and intention when it comes to cooking with smoke.<\/p>\n

\n
\"smoked<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

At Toups\u2019 Meatery, smoked elements are found throughout the menu. \u201cI\u2019m not a barbecue restaurant making brisket or pork butt,\u201d explains Toups, though all his house charcuterie is smoked: jalape\u00f1o cheddar sausage, capicola, and tasso (ham). His food is all about overtones\u2014 implying smoke without completely overwhelming the tastebuds, \u201clike a bonfire you hang around, and your clothes allude to its aroma the next day: sweet, earthy, like an expensive cigar,\u201d conjures Toups.<\/p>\n

Hot smoked duck is used in a fried rice bowl, topped with blistered shishitos, mushrooms, and pickled plum aioli. \u201cDuck is more elegant and pairs well with Urban South\u2019s Rectify Coffee Porter,\u201d believes Toups, who also suggests Lazy Magnolia\u2019s Southern Pecan brown ale to contrast both fat and flavor, matching the sweetness of the meat, or Gnarly Barley\u2019s Imperial Korova Milk Porter, which Toups deems \u201cdelicious without being too perfumey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toups also practices cold smoking, a method that \u201cgives food the flavor of smoke without cooking the ingredient, like we see in smoked salmon,\u201d which he utilizes for his cold-smoked quail perched atop corn maque choux. There are more subtleties when it comes to cold smoked fish, too. \u201cSmoked trout goes great with a lighter refreshing K\u00f6lsch,\u201d Toups says. At the restaurant they\u2019ll pour Port Orleans Kennerbr\u00e4u from the tap or Zony Mash\u2019s Among The Bugs hefeweizen. The combination works because of a lesser ratio of fat to smoke in fish versus poultry (see the Smoked Turkey Leg recipe), which Toups thinks needs something more.<\/p>\n

While Toups loves the refinement of Old World beers, he has been into Gnarly Barley\u2019s Jucifer lately, a hazy IPA that uses Citra and Mosaic hops for big, juicy tropical notes, which he finds \u201cso unique and delicious,\u201d but needs a smokier dish to stand up to, like tender beef back ribs served alongside cowboy red beans, root beer BBQ sauce, and slaw. On the more refreshing side, even Toups was surprised to find how well a lime cucumber gose from Urban South paired with his smoky bacon burger\u2014its bright, slightly sour acidity can cut through all that smoke and fat.<\/p>\n

Bringing the Smoke<\/h2>\n

Not all smoky food has to be fatty. In Michigan, an area of the country where micro-regional smoked sausages, jerky, and snack sticks can be found in most rest stops and supermarkets, Chef James Rigato of Mabel Gray Kitchen in Detroit\u2019s Hazel Park spent the summer smoking foods for a vegan menu, including tofu to make soft whipped spread and dark Michigan maple syrup as an accompaniment to cornbread.<\/p>\n

Rigato jerry-rigged a method of bringing smoke into his dishes without actually having a smoker. He \u201csaut\u00e9s\u201d soaking wet wood chips over his Southbend range until the water has evaporated and the pan is dry and \u201cripping hot,\u201d emitting a thick plume of smoke. He then transfers the pan to a rack in the oven, filling it with sweet, thick woodsmoke. He adds whatever food he\u2019s smoking to the oven, closes the door, and lets it absorb the full flavor of the wood.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, his favorite thing to smoke is lamb neck. \u201cWe do a pastrami brine and spice, smoke it for 1.5 to two hours, sous vide it at 180\u00b0 F for six to eight hours (to break down the thick, hard fat), and then hard sear it in a cast iron,\u201d explains Rigato. He serves this smoky set with sauerkraut, pickled mustard seeds, and spaetzle. He\u2019s also done a beer cheese sauce on the side, made with, and served alongside, a slightly sour saison. Be it tofu, maple, or lamb, much of what Rigato looks for in a pairing is mouthfeel.<\/p>\n

Whether vegan or carnivore, the drink list relies heavily on clean, crisp lagers and saisons that Rigato equates to \u201csparkling water, great to have at any meal.\u201d It\u2019s a way of keeping  the palate refreshed and wanting more, without too many competing flavors. He also gravitates toward sour beers from Jolly Pumpkin from Dexter, Mich. for the same reason. \u201cThey\u2019re like p\u00e9t nat [wines], or Spanish-style ciders,\u201d using carbonation to soothe the smokiness. Rigato offers Calabaza Blanca as a great entry-level pairing for any dish on his menu.<\/p>\n

The rest of the beer list professes Rigato\u2019s love for Urbanrest Brewing Company in nearby Ferndale, Mich. Next to Suarez Family Brewery in Hudson, N.Y., the lauded Hill Farmstead in Vermont, and Minneapolis, Minn.\u2019s Fair State Brewing Cooperative\u2019s Scope Creep pale lager, \u201cI think Urbanrest is making some of my favorite beers in the country, especially their Odle Pilsner and Kaiser Vienna-style lager,\u201d reveals Rigato, who tends to stay local but foremost cares about quality.<\/p>\n

Where Barbecue is King<\/h2>\n

In Texas, where barbecue is king, beer runs a close second. Blake Robertson and Ryan Cade, co-founders of R-C Ranch in Houston, are looking to reimagine both markets in one fell swoop. \u201cOur customers were used to drinking whatever light beer they had at the gas station,\u201d says Robertson.<\/p>\n

The two have an Oyler commercial smoker in their butcher shop and pride themselves on their Wagyu cattle herd. While Cade is the rancher, Robertson\u2019s family started Karbach Brewery in the early 2010s (they sold it to Anheuser-Busch InBev in 2017). He knows firsthand that beer is synonymous with BBQ to Houstonians.<\/p>\n

Roberston and Cade sell their Wagyu and smoked meats to many restaurants in Houston, including Georgia James Steak and Bludorn, but they also host beef and beer dinners at the ranch. The menu usually starts with a salad of sliced flank steak, progressing into street tacos with homemade tortillas made with Wagyu tallow, onto big meaty ribeyes with mushroom demi-glace. Each course builds with an intensity of richness through smoke and fat, while beer styles progress in expressiveness.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe start with blondes and wheat, and move into hoppier styles,\u201d says Robertson, who extrapolates as to how clean malt profiles can be delicately hopped without sacrificing character, augmenting slight smokiness, while the bracing bitterness of an IPA may seem big, but serves a purpose in pairings: to prevent total smoke exhaustion.<\/p>\n

SMOKED TURKEY LEGS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chef Isaac Toups<\/strong><\/p>\n

Serves 4<\/em><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t love turkey, but I can get down with smoked turkey legs. They\u2019re the perfect outdoor barbecue food and practically beg to be brought to a tailgate. And there is no way to eat one without getting it all over your face and getting your hands dirty. Try it with a bunch of kids. It\u2019s fun to watch them try and take down something that\u2019s the size of their own legs.<\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 4 (1-pound) turkey legs (these<\/li>\n
  • are the big boys)<\/li>\n
  • 25 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n
  • 6 tablespoons mustard powder<\/li>\n
  • 6 tablespoons smoked paprika<\/li>\n
  • 6 tablespoons ground black<\/li>\n
  • pepper<\/li>\n
  • 3 tablespoons kosher salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    EQUIPMENT<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Smoker (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      DIRECTIONS<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Preheat the smoker (or oven) to 250\u00b0F. You can make these in the oven if you need to, but the smoker is where it\u2019s at. Personally, if I didn\u2019t have a smoker, I wouldn\u2019t even bother.<\/li>\n
      • Score the turkey legs: On the meatier side of each leg, make three slices into the flesh, about an inch apart, cutting all the way down to the bone. Cut two more slashes on the other side, staggering between the other slashes. (That is, do not cut a ring all the way around the bone.) This will expose more turkey meat to the spice rub.<\/li>\n
      • In a small mixing bowl, combine the garlic, mustard, paprika, pepper, and salt. I like to mix it with my hand, really agitating it. Divide this mixture into 4 equal piles. Rub a pile into each turkey leg, making sure each leg is well covered and the spices get deep into the cuts and crevices.<\/li>\n
      • Place the seasoned turkey legs in the smoker (or oven) and smoke (or bake) for 2 hours, or until the internal temperature is 155\u00b0F. Let cool for about 5 minutes. Eat like the barbarian you are.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
