Sushi

It might sound a bit odd, but beer and sushi work very well together. You have to be drinking the right beer however and good old malt is where to start.

Burgers and Steaks

Ah yes, the good old burger and steak. You all knew it would be on this list somewhere. Burgers and steak have always been paired up with beer, however, the majority of us are unaware of what the best pairing is. Any beer will go well with your meal but the beer you should really be choosing, especially on International Beer Day is a dark stout.

Chicken and Seafood Pastas

Another dish that is normally served with wine; a nice light lager or even blonde ale works really well with both chicken and seafood.

Spicy Foods

Any spicy food, curry, Chinese, Mexican, anything with a bit of heat and what you are going to need is a nice light lager. The idea is that the hops help combat the spice; meaning you don’t get overwhelmed by the heat and can enjoy your dish for much, much longer.

Dessert

Finally, we have dessert!

Yes, beer goes with dessert. Stouts are the way forward when it comes to your chocolate based dishes. If you are opting for a much healthier option, such as fruit, then you want either a lager or ale. Preferably something with a fruity hint to go with the desert,
