Exhibit A Market Gap

Exhibit A Market Gap is a beer from Esplanda, brewed in Massachusetts, United States. The details on file don't give a style, ABV or IBU, so the best guide to its character is the label itself; check it for the style and strength before pairing or pouring. Without a stated style, a few serving rules hold for most beers. Most ales and lagers are best at cellar to fridge temperature, roughly 38 to 50°F. Lighter, crisper styles belong at the colder end, and hop-forward or malt-driven ones open up as they warm a few degrees. Pull it from the fridge about ten minutes before pouring if the beer reads as fuller-bodied or higher in alcohol. A standard pint glass or tulip works for nearly any style and gives the aromatics room. Pour at a slight angle, finish straight to build a modest head, and leave any yeast sediment in the bottle unless the label calls for it. For food, match weight to weight. Lighter beers suit salads, seafood and fried snacks. Bolder, hoppier or maltier ones hold up to burgers, grilled meats, sharp cheeses and spicy dishes.
