Our sommeliers suggest

Lolo Rias Baixas

Rías Baixas, Spain

This albariño from the Spanish coast, with notes of lemon and peach, is lively and fresh, a bit like a squeeze of lemon over the mussels. It picks up the lemon and the fresh herbs in the broth, and its freshness cleans the palate of butter and garlic. Perfect for a big bowl of mussels eaten with your hands! See the product

La Session IPA de Lesseps, Pit Caribou, 4%

The mussels cook in the IPA, so the beer is already part of the dish. A low-bitterness session IPA lets the mussel speak and its exotic fruit follows the lemon and fresh herbs. Dry from start to finish, it never sweetens the broth. A pot of mussels is shared, and so is the beer. See the product

*Pairings are suggestions. If you can't find the exact product, substitute for the same type of beer or varietal blend from the same region. Feel free to ask a consultant for help!
