The Dakota Territory Beef Barley Bean Stewis filled with potatoes, baby lima beans, lentils and shitake mushrooms, and its earthy flavors pair very well with a brown ale, dry stout or porter.

The peppery Hungarian Goulash is wonderful with a pilsner or bock beer.

For meat eaters and meat freers alike, the colorful and delicious vegetarian Washington State Squash and Lentil Soup, which is brightened with a splash of orange juice, pairs beautifully with the citrusy notes of a Belgian witbier like the readily available Blue Moon Belgian White.
