This February, we were greeted with the delightful news that Sam Adams, one of the OG craft brewmasters, dropped a beer bombshell on us known as Cherry Bomb. An Imperial Wheat Ale with a black cherry punch that’s 9% but drinks like half that ABV? We just had to get our hands on it.

But here at BroBible, cracking open a beer and giving it a taste isn’t enough. We needed to go deeper. Understand every facet of this fizzy treat. So we put our heads together, and we decided to put Cherry Bomb through its paces by pairing it with some of our favorite foods. Because a good beer can take your standard bar food staples and make them something truly special. It’s the kind of pairing that makes you stay at the bar, backyard cookout, or tailgate for hours on end, wondering if life gets any better than that. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.
For our pairings, Brandon opted for a burger out in LA, Brett went with wings out in Chicago, and I indulged in a couple of slices of pizza here in Florida:
A couple of notable takeaways from our food and beer pairings:
- We all enjoyed our first sip out of the can, but also made sure to give it a pour it into a glass. We’re classy gents and professionals.
- I’m pretty sure that we were all ready to be done filming as soon as possible so that we could just eat and enjoy our Cherry Bombs.
