INEDIT beer Presented by el Bulli & Ferran Adrià “a beer to pair with food” – Spain, Bangkok
Friday, August 26th, 2011
Inedit Beer packaged in a black, type of wine bottle and suggested to be served in a white wine glass has been especially created by el Bulli & Ferran Adrià to be paired with food. It was introduced to Bangkok by Comte de Sibour Limited on August 25, 2011 at Aldo’s Mediterranean Bistro and paired with these dishes: Confit of Smoked Salmon Flavor; Asparagus Espuma with Poached Quail Eggs; Paella Modern Style; Marinated Artichokes with Ham Emulsion; Jelly of Gaspacho Tagliatelle of Squid; Feta Tomato Chips. It is similar in style to a Belgian witbier, and is aimed at the high-end restaurant market where it most likely will carve out a niche of devoted fans. Whether it goes mainstream as a standalone beer is anyone’s guess. Inedit is arguably Spain’s best beer although, I have read comments such as: this is “a beer made by people who clearly don’t like beer”.
Pouring the beer into a white wine glass, you are greeted by a distinct aroma of fresh yeast and the visual appearance is not overly cloudy as some wheat beers tend to be

Pleasant and comfortable dining created by famed designer Pierre Maciag. The cooking is fusion so if you like this style you will be pleased. Personally, I prefer to have one cuisine at a time with out mixing it up.
