The under-regarded hop gets its day in the sun. Mju's tasting menu provides opulent matches for a selection of big personality beers from Greenwich's Meantime brewery.
Highlights include a golden pale ale; its momentary bitterness stands up to a sweet dish of seared scallops with pumpkin soup and leeks.
Chocolate beer, distinguished by the longer roasting of barley, accompanies the earthy flavours of wild mushrooms, truffle sauce, and - in the shape of a fragrant morsel of lomo - the pig that might have relished them.
Wheat Grand Cru is supported by a fricassee of chicken and lobster where the bird steals the show. Whether due to its origin or its seasoning, it tastes as though it knows which came first.
Soft pink raspberry beer complements rhubarb desserts - a combination of plain rhubarb with dark chocolate is excellent.
Five courses £48, beers to match £20
