Summer is here in full swing, and there is no better way to enjoy Maryland seafood dishes than with ice-cold refreshing drinks in their hand. Here at Costas Inn, we serve classic pairings that improve the flavors of our famous crabs, crab cakes, and seafood dishes. Read on for a few of our top drink picks for seafood, and which dishes they can help improve!
National Bohemian Beer
A Baltimore staple, Natty Boh is a crisp pale ale that won’t overpower the delicate taste of crab meat. It is a nostalgic and perfect match for Maryland-style crab cakes and steamed blue crabs spread across a newspaper-covered table feast this summer!
Blue Moon Beer
This Belgian-style white ale, with its subtle orange notes, pairs well with Old Bay-seasoned crab dishes. The citrusy sweetness balances out the spice and adds a refreshing twist you will absolutely love.
Coors Light, Bud Light Draft, and Much More on Tap
During Costas Inn’s Happy Hour, which is 4-7 on Mondays through Thursdays, ice-cold mainstream draft beers like Coors Lite and Bud Light are just $2, while Natty Boh is $1.50. These light beers are ideal to pair with crab legs and crispy seafood platters. They’re easy, affordable, and satisfying choices!
Sparkling Wine and Dry Prosecco
If you are in a mood for something bubbly, then sparking wine and dry prosecco (or brut champagne) is a great palate cleanser. The effervescence and dryness will cut through the richness, which makes it ideal to pair with fried seafood and crab cakes.
Lemonade, Iced Tea, and Cocktails
For you non-beer lovers, we’ve also got you covered. Iced tea and lemonade are refreshing summertime drinks. If you want something with a twist, try our Orange Crushes and frozen daiquiris. They are both sweet and citrusy and the best way to complement many dishes on our menu!
