Craft Beer and Food Pairing Guide – Planning Your Party Menu

Are you hosting a craft beer party? It won’t be complete without some food. Before heading out to the beer store in Vancouver to buy your craft beer, find out first which craft beers will go with which food. Try the ideas below:

Pale Ale 

Pale ales differ from one craft brewery to another, but you can always count on it to have a nice balance of malt and hops. Check to see if the craft beer has some floral notes or boasts of fruity accents. It should have a nice bitterness to it as well to work with a variety of food including cheeses, salads, shrimps, burgers, chicken, Asian noodles, pies and puddings. 

Pilsner 

Since Pilsners are generally very hoppy with loud floral notes and hints of spiciness, you need to pair it with lighter-flavored foods such as cheddar, apples, chicken, salmon and sausages like Bratwurst. It also is a good pairing for delicate desserts like angel cake and shortbread. 

Stout

This beer goes best with red meats and foods with heavy flavors. Because it is full-bodied and boasts of roasted notes and bitterness, this is better for richer flavors. It is also ideal for richer cheeses such as swiss cheese and gouda and for marinated meats like barbecues. For desserts, pair it up with more decadent ones like brownies, chocolate mousse and tiramisu.
