When you say doughnuts, I think beer, said Evan S. Benn in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Sure, coffee is a “suitable stand-in” at the office. “But when the workday is over and you’re staring down a fresh baker’s dozen,” one of these brews might be a better choice.
Southern Tier Crème Brûlée Imperial Milk Stout “Sometimes the best mate for a sugary-sweet orb of fried dough is an equally sweet beer.” This stout replicates the “custardy, burnt-sugar flavors” of crème brûlée.
Rogue Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale This brew combines the flavors of wood-smoked malts and real maple syrup and bacon to create a “smoky, porky, nutty” taste.
