Meet our new SnowBrew Juicy IPA, a beer that’s all about fruity flavor and full-on punch. Bursting with pineapple, mango, tangerine, and grapefruit, it balances juicy sweetness with just the right amount of bitterness. Pair it with spicy fish tacos, and you’ve got a combo that’s bold, bright, and totally satisfying. Smooth enough to enjoy sip after sip, this pairing brings the flavor and the fun—whether you’re hitting the slopes, the grill, or just chilling at home.
Prep Time: 18 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 10 tacos
Fish Ingredients:
1 lb wild-caught white fish, skin removed (such as cod, mahi-mahi, or halibut)
1 Tbsp oil (we prefer avocado)
1/2 – 3/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp cumin, plus more to coat
1 tsp chili powder, plus more to coat
1 tsp smoked paprika, plus more to coat
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for less heat)
3-4 Tbsp cornmeal (optional for crispier texture)
Serving Ingredients:
10 corn tortillas (homemade or store-bought)
Rosemary Guacamole (or Garlicky Guacamole)
Lime wedges
Quick Pickled Veggies (optional red onion or radish pair especially well)
Spicy Chipotle Aioli (optional)
Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C), and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the fish into large cubes (or strips if you prefer) and add to a medium mixing bowl. Top with oil, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (optional), and cornmeal (optional). Toss to coat. The fish should be so well coated that you almost can’t see it anymore. Don’t be shy with the spices!
Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange in a single layer, and bake for 10-12 minutes or until fish is cooked through.
In the meantime, prepare any sides, such as guacamole, fresh herbs, and lime wedges.
To serve, warm tortillas and top each with 1 Tbsp guacamole and 2 pieces of fish, and serve with lime wedges. Serve with quick pickled veggies, chipotle aioli, and/or fresh cilantro for more flavor and texture (all optional).
Store leftover cooked fish separately up to 2-3 days. Cooked recipe is not freezer friendly.
Grab some of our SnowBrew Juicy IPA and enjoy! Cheers!
