Other beers for a great barbecue event
In general, of course, there are many more possible combinations between beer and grilled food than those mentioned above. And if you follow a few little basics, there won't be any nasty surprises, I promise! Because some flavour combinations are simply a safe bet.
For example, spicy or curry-flavoured foods go wonderfully with New England or stronger Double IPAs, because the spicy notes are balanced by the fruity, juicy notes of the beer. At the same time, the bitterness of some IPAs softens the spiciness. Another example is the combination of spicy-sweet marinades and a stronger beer style such as a brown ale or a dark doppelbock. You can also add a good sip of beer to the marinade. The malt sweetness of the aforementioned styles then blends in wonderfully with the flavours of the food!
And of course your personal taste plays an important role, so there's only one thing to do: try it out at The Crafts and get grilling!
