Matching the right beer with food is an art akin to pairing wine with food.
1. Lagers go with tomato-based dishes.
European-style lagers are bold and crisp enough to stand up to acidic dishes.
2. Balance spicier Foods with a lighter beer.
Dishes with aromatic ingredients, like spicy Asian or pan-Italian cuisine work well with the citrus-like notes of delicately hopped lighter lagers.
3. Match full-bodied Beer with grilled dishes.
American-style bock beers, with their rich, nutty, caramel notes, complement strong cheeses and grilled or blackened meats.
Note: Serve beer at 38-40 degrees
Serve beer cold. Pour straight down the middle of the glass to release the beer's natural carbonation and open up its delicate aromas.
