Food and beer

Make every bite better.

Great pairings work through contrast, harmony or refreshment. Start with these reliable matches, then experiment.

Crisp lager

Fish, chips and salty snacks

Carbonation lifts the batter while a clean finish refreshes the palate.

Hoppy IPA

Spice, burgers and blue cheese

Big hop aroma stands up to bold food, while bitterness cuts richness.

Wheat beer

Salads, shellfish and soft cheese

Gentle citrus and spice complement delicate flavours without taking over.

Roasted stout

Barbecue, oysters and chocolate

Roast flavours echo char, contrast briny seafood and deepen cocoa desserts.

Illustrated beer and food pairing
Three simple rules

Pair without overthinking it.

  • Match intensity. Delicate food prefers delicate beer. Bigger dishes need a beer with presence.
  • Find an echo. Citrusy beer loves citrusy food. Roasted beer loves grilled and roasted flavours.
  • Use refreshment. Bitterness, acidity and bubbles can reset the palate after rich or fatty bites.
