Take your barbeque to a whole new culinary
level this summer by creating a gourmet burger bar right in your very own backyard. There are few dishes as versatile as the hamburger, so be inventive with your menu and have fun! Here are a few tips to get you started:
• Add a summery twist to a chilled pitcher of Longo’s Signature Organic Sodas by preparing pretty cups filled with mint leaves allowing guests to pour their own refreshing beverage. For the kids, include a few mint-free cups filled with ice. • Craft your own fresh and tasty ingredients that can be eaten as toppings or sides. Coleslaw, avocado, cheese sauce and spicy salsa are a few of our favourites. • Serve freshly grilled burgers on a platter and

triple overtime burger For a long summer game this beefy burger will keep you full, and long after overtime you’ll be craving those tasty flavours.
Grand River Plowman’s Ale Pairing: There’s nothing quite like a classic barbecued beef burger and a bottle of amber ale. The addition of three kinds of cured pork and cheddar cheese just makes the experience that much better. For this monster of a burger, try the big, bold, spicy Grand River Plowman’s Ale from Cambridge, ON. But whatever beer you choose to drink, remember to use that same beer in the Cheddar Beer Sauce to create the perfect pairing of beer and burger. (Available at the LCBO.)

This burger is lighter than most without the traditional bread bun.
Duggan’s #9 IPA Pairing: There is no better complement to curry than India Pale Ale. If you haven’t tried this beer yet, you must try the Duggan’s #9 IPA. Sadly Duggan’s Brew Pub has closed its doors, but we can still enjoy the #9 by the backyard barbeque or at Corks Beer and Wine Bar in Longo’s Maple Leaf Square. (Available at the LCBO.)
Old Credit Amber Ale Pairing: With all the elements of a satisfying Mexican meal and then some, this burger calls for a refreshing beer with serious personality. Try the Old Credit Amber Ale from Port Credit, a dark amber, peppery beer with spicy aromas and a citrusy fi nish. (Available at the LCBO.)

King Pilsner Pairing: This burger take on wing night can be served with exactly the same beer you would enjoy with a plate of spicy buffalo wings, veggies and blue cheese dressing: Pilsner. The crisp, refreshing bite of a good Pilsner softens the heat of wing sauce while cutting through the creaminess of the two cheeses. An excellent option is the King Pilsner from Nobleton, ON. (Available at the LCBO and The Beer Store.)
The Beau’s Lug Tread Lagered Ale Pairing: With the Great Canadian Burger you have two options: cut through the sweetness and the smoke with a fresh, crisp lager, or complement these elements with a blood-warming ale. I choose both. The Beau’s Lug Tread Lagered Ale from Van Kleek Hill is brewed in the German Kolsch style – warm fermentation followed by cold conditioning – producing a crisp, smooth beer with a subtly hoppy finish. (Available at the LCBO.)
Denison’s Weissbier Pairing: We know summer is upon us when the wheat beers start appearing on the LCBO and Beer Store shelves and on tap at our favourite pubs. Wheat beer just happens to be a perfect accompaniment for both salmon and citrus. Try this burger with Denison’s Weissbier, an award-winning unfi ltered wheat beer featuring fl avours of banana, vanilla and cloves. (Available at the LCBO.)
