Pairing Alfajores correctly — a note on Quilmes lager

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Alfajores. I ordered it with Quilmes lager and the herbal and garlicky elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. chimichurri herbs in particular became more prominent in a good way.

the asado is an Argentinian social institution as much as a cooking technique. The a family quincho barbecue area is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Alfajores with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
