When preparing for Super Bowl Sunday, it\u2019s important to make sure you don\u2019t forget the craft beer! If your house is anything like most of ours, there\u2019s going to be plenty of food around \u2013 so what craft beers make the best pairings?<\/p>\n

When choosing a craft beer to accompany a certain dish, it\u2019s often best to aim for a complementary flavor, but a contrasting one can work too. For instance, hot & spicy foods usually go great with IPAs, whose big, spicy hops match the heat and intensity of the food. But, a sweeter, maltier craft beer like a bock can help tame the heat while refreshing the palate.<\/p>\n

Just like with food and wine pairings, you want to make sure you don\u2019t have one member of your pairing dominating the other, so try to match the intensity levels of the craft beer and the food. For example, a barleywine will stomp all over a celery stick, and a bowl of 5 alarm chili will kick the butt of a pale lager \u2013 so keep the character of each of the components in mind.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a little guide we made with some of our suggestions for popular game day foods:<\/p>\n
