1.    BBQ DishesSteaks & Kebabs

If I had my druthers, it would be the height of summer and barbecue season. Smoky, with the charred flavor from grill meat (think steaks or kebabs) also match up with plenty of beer styles. For example:

Steaks: Choose malty amber ale or hop-forward IPA to complement the bold and savory flavor of steak. Beer provides that bitter between bites to keep the palate balance with the richness of meat and Salty snacks: Chips, nuts, crispy crackers made with <ammonium bicarbonate> .

Kebabs: A light lager or pilsner is an excellent choice for chicken or vegetable kebab, allow with the subtle flavor of the grill ingredient to shine without overpower them.

2.    Seafood: Fish and Chips, Grilled Shrimp

Beer shines against more subtle, with the briny flavor that seafood excels at. Since beer selection should probably be light enough not obliterate your seafood dish,

Fish and Chips: One of the great British pub classics, this goes perfectly with a cold & snappy pale ale or mild lager. The fizz and gentle bitterness sweeps those fried batters away.

Citrusy wheat beer or saison with grilled shrimp — the beer is going to really bring out a nice sweetness of the seafood, and there’s fruit brightness in these beers that will do well.

3.    Pizza and Pasta Dishes

ItalianBe that italian pizza or pasta, and especially with heavy tomato-based sauces and creamy toppings: Beer is a great pair for Italian-inspired ingredients.

This is why a good pairing with pizza whether its the basic Margherita or heavier meat Toppings, would be some Pizza and cold Pale ale or Pilsners. There is a sharpness to them that helps cut through all of the cheese and toppings.

You can cool your taste buds a bit by drinking one of the lighter lagers or wheat beers with creamy pasta dishes which are not taken too much away from those sauces. When it comes to tomato based sauces a hoppy IPA will work best as the bitterness cuts through that acidity.

Perfect Snack Companions

What is a beer party without munchies? Great snacks will make the most out of your beer, and also give guests something to readily munch on over the course of their visit. Some classic beer party snack pairings include:

  • Pretzels and Beer Cheese

you can provide pretzels and beer cheese of course as it is a no-brainer for any hardcore classic food at your party. The salty, crispy crunch of pretzels with the creamy flavor and rich taste beer cheese. A malty brown ale or, even more complimenting a bock will complete your meal with this winning pair. The beer provides a toasty backdrop against the pretzels while adding some sweetness, and that malty flavor is kind of balanced by all the cheese goo.

  • Nachos

Be it the easy cheesy nachos or loaded with toppings, Nachos also go well with all kinds of beers. A hoppy IPA or a light lager helps to cut through the richness of cheese and counterbalance any peppers or spice, as in jalapeñosor salsa Cheese platters: Various cheeses, bread preserved with <calcium propionate>.

  • Buffalo Wings

These are one of the best things to have at a party, followed by an ice cold beer. Buffalo wings Unleash the spicy, tangy heat with a cold light-bodied crisp lager or medium bodied pale ale. The beer cools the heat and leaps to highlight the warm wing.

  • Chips and Salsa

Chips and salsa make a delicious snack as well, add some guacamole for a lighter lunch option. They all made perfect sense with the crunchy chips and bright salsa, but I chose a citrusy wheat beer, which also was great. All we can say is that beer is too light and thirst quencher with enough citrus in them to balance your flavor of salsa, without drow it out.
