Our sommeliers suggest

Loxarel A Pèl Ancestral Brut Nature 2021

Spain

Loxarel A Pèl Ancestral Brut Nature is a Spanish sparkling made from xarel-lo, and it's built for melted butter. The bubbles scrub your mouth clean between bites of those cajun lobster tails, and the freshness resets things when the cayenne and smoked paprika start to warm up. Grab a stack of napkins and open it before the grill is even off! See the product

GOSE, LES TROIS MOUSQUETAIRES, 3.8%

Cajun spices bring heat and the butter softens it; you need freshness in between. A gose, salty and lemony, calms the spice and cuts the fat in one move. Serve it very cold, otherwise the salt comes out on its own and takes over. 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!
