One of the best things to do in life is explore the many flavours of craft beer with food. Like a classic duet, beer has its perfect partners in the culinary world. If you’re a beer enthusiast and a food lover, then the right side dishes can enhance your craft beer experience like nothing else. It’s time to look at some of the best foods to enjoy with your favourite beer.
1. Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wings
We all love wings, but have you ever thought to have them with chicken wings? You won’t look back. They can stand up to the bold flavours in spicy foods, and few things are bolder than the fiery tang of buffalo sauce. Pairing these spicy delights with an IPA brings out the citrusy and floral notes in the beer, balancing the heat perfectly.
2. Beer-Battered Onion Rings
Don’t keep the two sides separate because you can infuse them (wow!). Beer-battered onion rings are a crispy, savoury treat that go particularly well with a malty amber ale or a smooth pilsner.
3. Loaded Nachos
A platter of nachos can be a feast on its own, and there’s a craft beer to match every layer of this classic side. From the rich, malty beers that complement the beef and beans to the sharp hops that cut through the richness of the cheese and sour cream, loaded nachos offer a symphony of flavours with your brew.
4. Grilled Bratwurst
Picture this: a beer bratwurst in one hand, a cold beer in the other. A bratwurst pairs well with a cold beer. It’s the ultimate power couple, the epitome of perfection. Add a bock beer or dunkel to the mix, and you’ve got a match made in flavour heaven. It’s hearty, it’s flavorful, it’s pure bliss for your taste buds. Cheers to the perfect pairing.
5. Garlic Parmesan Fries
These addictive fries are the ideal side for beers with higher bitterness. The garlic and cheese bring out the beer’s hoppy flavours, making them a perfect balance for pale ales or bold stouts.
6. Caprese Skewers
It’s not all about heavy foods that make you feel bloated and as if you just want to sit entirely still for four weeks. The brightness and lightness of fresh tomatoes and the creaminess of mozzarella find a perfect partner in wheat beers or lagers.
7. BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders
Those who choose this sort of food should opt for a brown ale or porter. The malt-forward profile of these beers will amplify the meaty flavours, creating a delightful taste journey.
8. Jalapeno Poppers
For those who enjoy a bit of excitement on their palate, spicy jalapeno poppers with a creamy filling are a great companion for hoppy beers. The spice plays well with the bitterness, creating a delicious contrast.
