I agree that the Food/alcohol pairing questions should be on topic because there are reference-able guidelines and cultural norms for those beyond opinion.
However I noticed a few questions asking for a recommendation for a spirit for a specific cocktail or for a beer that matched a certain group of flavors/notes or questions about sourcing beers in a specific locality that seem to be really low quality/opinion-based/overly specific.
I worry that allowing these sorts of questions will open up a flood stream of opinion based list answers.
