BEER PAIRING
Pair with a German Pilsner, like Saint Archer® Hoppy Pilsner
The fragrant hops and toasty malt flavors of Saint Archer® Hoppy Pilsner complement the sweet, rich components in this dish.
The bitterness of this German Pilsner helps to balance the sweetness of the crab meat, and the creaminess of the sauce.
And the floral aroma of Saint Archer® Hoppy Pilsner? It works deliciously well with the Old Bay seasoning, paprika, Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce in our dish. The beer’s carbonation cuts through the richness of the cheese, also helping to cleanse the palate for the next bite.

6 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
