Three beers worth knowing
A compact introduction to three distinctive families, each with its own ingredients, character and ideal moment.
Bold and aromatic
IPA
Hop-led beer packed with citrus, pine, tropical fruit or resinous bitterness, depending on the brew.
Dark and generous
Stout
Roasted malt brings coffee, cocoa and toasted flavours, from dry and elegant to rich and indulgent.
Taste with confidence
Beer belongs at the table.
A good pairing can make both the beer and the food taste better. Match intensity, look for complementary flavours, or use bitterness and carbonation to cut through richness.
- Crisp lager with salty, fried or spicy dishes
- Hoppy pale ale with burgers and mature cheese
- Dark stout with chocolate, barbecue and oysters
