Beer and the Big Game
When it comes to the big game, there's nothing quite like enjoying it with an ice-cold, refreshing beer in hand. Craft beers continue to reign supreme, although hard seltzers have gained considerable popularity as well.
While selecting beer is about taste preference, consider the food it will be enjoyed with:
- Match strength with strength i.e. strongly-flavored foods demand assertive beers. With beer, flavor-intensity involves a variety of qualities such as alcoholic strength, malt character, hop bitterness, sweetness, richness and roastiness.
- Find harmonies. Combinations often work best when food and beverage share some common flavor or aroma elements. The nutty flavor of English-style brown ale and a handmade cheddar cheese; the deep roasted flavors of an imperial stout and chocolate.
- Consider sweetness, bitterness, carbonation, heat (spice) and richness. Specific characteristics of food and beer interact with each other in predictable ways. Taking advantage of these interactions ensures that the beer and food will balance each other, creating a desire for a taste of the other.
- Experiment! Not every pairing works as expected. Build on the things that work and keep searching for those perfect pairings!
