3 Awesome Beer Snacks You Have to Try

Beer is one of the favorite alcoholic beverage around the world, and most often the party favorite. Since so many people enjoy drinking beer, we have come up with three awesome beer snacks you should definitely try.

Ultimate German Beer Snack

If we’re looking for the best beer snacks to try, we should take a closer look at the countries that have been making beer for centuries since they have had the most time in the world to figure out what goes best with this age-old beverage. Germany is one of the pioneering countries in beer quality, and also you’ve guessed it – beer snacks. As we all already know, bratwurst and beer go hand in hand, even more so, like many Berliners will tell you – currywurst is the much better beer snack. The bratwurst is grilled and diced, and then topped off with a sweet curry sauce. The sauce can be made to your liking, depending on how spicy you prefer your food! For a simple homemade edition, mix equal parts ketchup and mustard and add curry powder to your liking.

Curry

As it’s pretty clear by now, curries and beer go wonderfully together. The spiciness of the curry can be perfectly showered down with a crisp and cold glass of beer. You simply keep wanting more of this hot and cold balance in your mouth. If you want to experiment more with this type of food, it might be a good idea to take inspiration from Indian cuisine since they are masters of curry.

More specifically, a tikka masala sauce. It’s a tomato and cream-based sauce with a lot of added spices such as garam masala. It can be used with many different foods as can be seen in this Instant Pot tikka masala recipe which is full of flavors because the chicken is simmered over time in the tikka masala sauce. While this recipe can take hours to prepare, it’s made much faster in an instant pot, so you don’t have to wait to enjoy it!

Nachos

Another crowd favorite beer snack that you definitely have to try- and likely have- is nachos. While some of you may have already had nachos at some point in your lives, you should definitely try them while drinking beer. Nachos are the type of snack food that can be made with a million different toppings to better suit your taste and your beer match preference. As a rule of thumb, you need to use cornflower tortilla chips, cheese, and other toppings. Some of the more popular options are beans, minced beef or chicken, tomatoes, olives, jalapeños, and more sauces on top such as sour cream. All these tastes combined should amount to the salty-spicy-umami combination which will go great with any kind of pilsner, and even some milkshake IPA beers if you like the slightly sweet-salty combination.

From Germany’s currywurst, to Mexican Nachos, to far away tikka masala in India, these are three of the most awesome beer snacks from across the world. When you decide to try them out, make sure to look for recipes that will guarantee less cooking time and more flavor, then find a suitable beer to match. Enjoy!
