Beer and Food Pairings

What is the biggest thing that wine has over beer? The common recognition of food & wine pairings.

When it comes to beer and food, not many people think of the two complimenting one another (outside of maybe a hot dog & light beer at a ballgame), but this just isn't true. A sweet stout and a chocolate cheesecake can make for an interesting dessert combination. A spicy food like curry chicken can be ever so enhanced with a cold IPA.

Try this handy guide the next time you're looking to intensify a meals flavor through beer. If you want to take the experience a step further, check out the book "The Best of American Beer and Food: Pairing & Cooking with Craft Beer".

Cheers!
