I served these burgers with Greek style potato wedges (recipe to come tomorrow) and steamed stir fry vegetable medley with a little Greek seasoning, olive oil and lemon juice. 

This meal was paired with Shiner Dortmunder brewed by Spoetzl Brewery located in Shiner, TX.  This is very drinkable with a light sweetness.  It’s a very well rounded beer with nothing being over powering.  It’s has some graininess and floral notes, but also has malty sweetness and hoppy herbal notes.
