WTOP’s Brennan Haselton is joined by Neighborhood Restaurant Group Beer Director and James Beard Award nominee Greg Engert to talk about Ocelot Misunderstood IPA for the latest edition of WTOP’s Beer of the Week.

Ocelot’s Misunderstood IPA goes well with everything from Vietnamese food, like spring rolls, to a grilled shrimp salad.

Greg’s pairing suggestions: Vietnamese food such as curries, Bánh mì sandwiches, spring rolls; mid-Atlantic food including crabcakes; grilled shrimp salad with spinach and mango.
