Lobster & Beer is all about pairing delicious lobster dishes with refreshing craft beers. From classic lobster rolls to inventive options like lobster tacos and loaded lobster tots, their menu is a seafood lover’s dream. When they invited us to try their lobster creations alongside some incredible beers, we were excited –though we’d never paired lobster rolls with beer before, it sounded like a perfect match. Discover why this place is a must-visit for any seafood and beer lover.
Our experience at Lobster & Beer
It was hard to choose which dishes we were going to try, preferably we would have tried every lobster dish! Eventually, after a long debate, we went for the Cali Style Truffle roll, Connecticut roll, lobster tacos, and lobster grilled cheese. Since we’re not familiar with American beers, the staff gave us some beer recommendations. It ended up being Summerfest, a local beer brewed by Sierra Nevada brewing co. This Pilsner (5% ABV) is only available during the summer months of April – July. It was the perfect match for our lobster dishes. To our delight, this refreshing beer was even available on draft so bonus points for that (Kelvin was particularly thrilled as he has a soft spot for draft beers)!
From the very first bite, we were astounded by the generous portions of succulent lobster meat present in each dish. We’re both huge lobster lovers and have already tried lobster rolls in numerous places and cities. We can honestly say that we have never tasted so much lobster meat in a lobster roll before! Each brioche bun was filled to the brim. When we brought the roll to our mouths for that first bite, meat fell out left, right and center. Totally worth it though! Besides the abundance of lobster, each dish was also full of flavor (recommendations coming up). The beer paired perfectly with lobster, which was a pleasant surprise and is definitely something we’ll try to recreate on our own. We totally get where the concept comes from! Lobster paired with beer truly is a delicious duo worth exploring.
Our recommendations at Lobster & Beer
We would like to offer our personal recommendations from Lobster & Beer’s exceptional menu. The Connecticut Roll, featuring warm lobster meat, is an absolute must-try that will leave you craving more. For a burst of flavor, we recommend the lobster tacos as an appetizer. The combination of lobster, chipotle aioli and pico de gallo really blew our minds (and our mouths). To complete this lobster and beer symphony, we highly recommend pairing your lobster dishes with the Summerfest beer. Match made in heaven!

They have a cozy terrace where you can enjoy delicious food and fresh beers in the sunshine. What more do you want?
