United States-based couple Zach and Justine created a blog called 'Cooking and Beer' to promote great recipes and beer pairings. The unique site is dedicated to [beer and food combinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-hammer-brewing) that are both tasty and refreshing.

The blog-styled website is used to post the couple's recipes while providing insight, knowledge and guidelines for each dish. The sites is broken up into two distinct sections. One is devoted to recipes, while the other is devoted to beer and beer pairings. While the two sections tend to overlap, the beer and food pairing sections contain helpful hints and tasting suggestions. There are even specific infographics created by the couple, which aim to educate their readers about suggested food and beverage pairings.

The site is also filled with images that enhance the viewer's overall understanding of the recipes and guidelines. While there are many platforms that cater to the pairing of wine and food, the Cooking and Beer webpage is devoted to [craft brews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewdog-kitchen) and causal meals.
