Perfect Pair Series : A Sleepy Forest Doughnut & Beer Pairing
Introducing a new event series at Wayward Lane Brewing, where we team up with local producers to pair our beer with their creations. We had to kick things off with our favorite (and only) pairing from last year—Sleepy Forest Bakeshop in Fort Plain.
If you joined us last time, don’t worry—we’re dialing back the ABV a bit this year, so you won’t need to call Uncle Joe to rescue you from a doughnut-induced barrel-aged stupor. The goal this time is balance.
Just like before, each beer will be thoughtfully paired with a mini doughnut from Sleepy Forest Bakeshop—six doughnuts, six 4oz beers, one delicious experience. Flights are only available as a package for $40, with 60 flights up for grabs. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. Full menu below.
Stay tuned for more events in The Perfect Pair Series, happening monthly.
