Whether you’re a seasoned beer geek or just venturing beyond the basics, these pairings prove that beer deserves a seat at every table.
Gather your friends, pick your cheeses and snacks, and pour your beers.
When it comes to food pairings, wine has long taken centre stage. But beer? It’s quietly become the dark horse of elevated dining. With varied profiles from hoppy and bitter to crisp and malty, beer is surprisingly versatile at the table. If you haven’t explored pairing your meals with beer, we’ve got five perfect combinations that will completely change your next dinner, chill night, or barbecue.
1. Carib Premium Strong Beer + Spicy Tandoori Chicken
Why it works: Tandoori chicken’s smoky heat finds the perfect balance in Carib Premium Strong’s crisp, full-bodied character. The lager’s clean finish cuts through spice and char, leaving you refreshed, not overwhelmed. The bold, refreshing Carib Premium Strong Beer is priced at Rs 130 per can and is perfect for bold flavours.
Try it with: Mint chutney and lemon wedges on the side.
2. Belgian Witbier + Cheesy Garlic Prawns
Why it works: The citrus and coriander notes in a Belgian Witbier amplify the creamy richness of prawns, while the effervescence scrubs the palate clean after every bite.
Try it with: A buttery baguette for dipping.
3. Hefeweizen + Banana Walnut Pancakes
Why it works: A wheat beer with banana and clove undertones naturally complements breakfast fare. You’ll never look at brunch the same again.
Try it with: Maple syrup and crushed pecans for extra crunch.
4. IPA + Aged Cheddar Fries
Why it works: The bitterness of an India Pale Ale slices through the sharpness of cheddar, while carbonation offsets the richness of fries. A perfect match of intensity and balance.
Try it with: Truffle oil drizzle or caramelised onions on top.
5. Stout + Dark Chocolate Mousse
Why it works: The roasted coffee notes of a stout and the bitter-sweet smoothness of dark chocolate are soulmates. Dessert just got boozier (and better).
Try it with: Sea salt flakes or orange zest for contrast.
