Beer has been part of the human experience since the dawn of civilization. Even Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher said, “He was a wise man who invented beer.”
Indeed, people like beer. They like it a lot. It goes great with meals. It helps you unwind after a long day at work. It’s fun to enjoy during a night out with friends. And since it comes in all shapes and sizes, you’re sure to find one that suits your tastes.
Different Types of Beer
From lagers to ales to porters to wheats, there’s a beer for every palate. Lagers are the most popular type of beer, golden in color, crisp and refreshing. Ales are fuller bodied, more bitter and usually have a higher alcohol content. Porters are very dark, almost black in some cases, and often sweet and fruity. A wheat is a style of beer that’s easy to drink, may look somewhat hazy and will have a touch of spice.
Pairing Beer with Food
Wine is not the only adult beverage you can pair with food. Beer tastes just as great! Before you place your beer order, you should think about what you are ordering to eat.
- A burger or steak? Try an amber, brown ale or stout that offers big enough flavors to stand up to the meat.
- Spicy buffalo wings or salty fries? Go for a lighter bodied beer like lager or pale ale to wash down the bold flavors.
- You can even pair beers with dessert. Try an India pale ale or fruity lambic with a sweet treat.
