Smashburger Presents New Beer & Burgers Pairings!! Mouth Watering!!!

On Thursday, Oct. 3, Smashburger will launch its brand-new Beer and Burger Pairing Menu at all eight Southern Nevada locations, including its newest location that will open that same day at Ft. Apache and Tropicana. Smashburger is partnering with local brewer Joseph James Brewing Company to match seven of its most popular burgers with craft beers carefully selected by Joseph James’ brew masters and Smashburger Founder Tom Ryan. 

The new menu pairings include:

Classic Smash™ + Craft American Lager: A unique smash sauce lightens the meatiness of this Classic Smash burger, which pairs beautifully with Joseph James’ remarkably clean and simple lager, made with the finest pilsner malts and Saaz hops. 

Truffle Mushroom Swiss Burger + Red Fox Russian Imperial Stout: This Imperial Stout is made from the finest hops and dark malt, which complements the meaty, grilled nature of mushrooms and beef in a burger packed with character. 

BBQ, Bacon & Cheddar Burger + Citra Rye Pale Ale: This burger contains a strong profile, bursting with flavor from the applewood-smoked bacon and tangy BBQ sauce. The Citra Rye Pale Ale poses a perfect match as it levels off the strong flavor profile with a crisp and refreshing flow. 

Sin City Burger + Weize Guy Hefeweizen: This burger is the perfect match for Joseph James’ hefeweizen brew, which contains 2-row malt, German Wheat and classic German yeast. The combined characteristics of banana and clove, coupled with the burger’s fried egg and haystack onions, present the dry, tart edge that will satisfy anyone who tries it. (Blog Favorite!!!) 

Spicy Veggie Black Bean Burger + Citra Rye Pale Ale: The citrus notes and crisp and refreshing flavor from this Ale is the perfect match for the spicy— and sometimes intimidating—  veggie burger, which contains fresh jalapenos and pepper jack cheese. 

Classic Chicken + Fox Tail Gluten Free Pale Ale: This delicious grilled chicken sandwich is an easy partner for the crisp and light-bodied beer alternative—perfect for any occasion. This easy-to-drink Gluten Free Ale has aromas of pear and apple and is coupled with a dry finish, which complements the fresh ingredients of this Smashburger favorite. 

Avocado Club Chicken + Hop Box Imperial IPA: The deliciously intense Imperial IPA’s 2-row honey malts and citrusy hops make it a great match for  this tender marinated chicken sandwich, topped with fresh sliced avocado and applewood-smoked bacon. 

Smashburger is America’s fastest growing, fast casual “better burger” restaurant. Smashburger is known for its juicy burgers that are smashed fresh and served delicious, along with its Häagen-Dazs® shakes, tempting sides and regional menu items crafted to please local’s palate. 

Joseph James Brewing Company opened in Henderson, Nev., in 2008 and today offers six year-round craft brews. Its brews come in 12-ounce cans and 12-ounce bottles and it is the only brewery in the United States to offer canned gluten-free beer—the Fox Tail Gluten Free Pale Ale. 

“We’re fortunate to have found such a great local brewer in Joseph James," says Tom Ryan, Founder and Chief Concept Officer, Smashburger. “Their craft beers pair great with our burgers. Anyone who is a fan of our burgers and this craft brew is sure to find something they will enjoy.” 

At Smashburger, the secret is in the smash. It starts with 100 percent – fresh, never frozen, Certified Angus Beef that is smashed on a 400 degree flat grill to sear in its juicy flavor. To further the “better burger” experience, these delicious burgers are served on toasted artisan buns and topped with a selection of the freshest produce, cheeses and highest-quality condiments. Smashburger’s juicy burgers are served alongside its hand-spun Häagen-Dazs® shakes, cold beers, tempting sides and regional menu items created to please the palate. 

Smashburger’s signature recipes and Create Your Own burgers are smashed fresh, served delicious every time. More than just burgers, customers can also enjoy a selection of tender marinated grilled chicken sandwiches, fresh tossed signature salads, and a variety of irresistible sides including rosemary and garlic-seasoned Smashfries, haystack onions, and veggie frites (flash-fried carrot sticks and green beans).
