Pairing Beer With Food Wed, Mar 01, 23 | beer blog If you’re looking to merely have a beverage while eating, any beer will do. But I encourage you to take the short step to pairing a particular beer with your next meal. It’s much like pairing the correct wine with food. It makes a huge difference and your taste buds will thank you. Here are some good starting points. HOT DOGS Yuengling Light Lager Light lager, 4.2% ABV Whether you call them weenies, franks or hot dogs, these American treats need a light lager. Yuengling Light, with its malt/hop balance and crisp flavor, makes a pairing you’ll relish. Pun intended. BARBEQUE RIBS Bell’s Two Hearted Ale IPA, 7% ABV Bursting with hops, pine and grapefruit, Two Hearted Ale is a fantastic match for tangy, smoky, spicy barbeque ribs. BOILED CRAWFISH Great Raft Southern Drawl Dry hopped pilsner, 5% ABV Great Raft is brewed in Shreveport, so they’re in the heart of crawfish country. Southern Drawl’s hoppy pilsner profile is an ideal counter to the spicy heat of crawfish. Very refreshing! Here’s hoping that you find these pairings as tasty as they are simple. Our Celebration Specialists are glad to suggest more beer pairings for any food you crave. By Clark Trim
