Lesser Known Edibles to Enhance Your Beer Experience

Whether you’re going on a drinking spree around town or just enjoying a nice dinner, beer is a staple beverage for most of us. It can go well with most kinds of food and is an ideal among many. Although we might be aware of the more conventional food choices such as pizza, fries, and chicken, one can have a beer with lesser-known options. We all know that wine has traditionally bees the beverage of choice to pair with a dairy delicacy or any other less musty edibles. However, a good lager or ale can match any red or white vino when pairing edibles and drinks.

According to Marc Stroobandt, master beer sommelier for the Food and Beer Consultancy, UK, “Beer is a perfect match with food due to its complex flavors, refreshment ability, and capacity to interact with various food flavors. Beer shows its effects on food pairing way before a person takes the meal. It stimulates the person’s appetite.”

To know more about which foods and edibles complement the best with different kinds of beer, we give you an idea of the best edibles.

1.  Dishes with Loaded Cheese

Who doesn’t like cheese? Cheese is a favorite snack for everyone, be it with or without beer. Across the world, wine and cheese go hand in hand but beer is arguably the better beverage to pair. While wine may cover up some of the cheese’s flavors, the carbonation in beer leaves a slight acidity feel and keeps the fats in the cheese in check, preventing them from overwhelming the palate. Whether it is a whole cheese platter, dishes like pizzas and sandwiches, or a goat cheese salad, almost any beer can complement well. One can explore the varied types of cheese and different beer pairings to suit their liking.

2.  Chips and Veggies Snacks

If you wish to explore some new and refreshing snacks to bring out all the flavors of your beer, there are many to accommodate. An effortless and easy snack is good old homemade chips. Fry some peeled and thinly sliced potatoes until they are golden brown, season them with salt and your favorite spice mixes. Just like that, you’ve got yourself a fresh batch of available snacks to munch on with your beer. And you prepared them fresh, which is even better.

Another lesser-known veggie snack is a combination of garlic roasted cauliflower, and broccoli. It is an unusual dish and easy to cook for a perfect evening drink get-together. It may not sound like a snack that would match with beer, but don’t judge until you try it.   

3.  Grape-Flavored Hash

Sour beers are typically the best brews to consume with marijuana and hash. Therefore, the next time you pick a sour beer like the cherry sour beer or even an IPA, keep in mind that a grape-flavored hash is known to go spectacularly well with them. Additionally, with the current legalization of recreational marijuana in a few states, finding the best beer to have with the preferred strain has become a typical weekend-night kind of pursuit.

Experts suggest improvising when it comes to flavors with marijuana and craft beers. In this suggestion, many believe that Hash that tastes piney goes well with IPAs as the terpenes present in the hops used for beer preparation are similar.

4.  Kratom Applesauce

Another fantastic product that can enhance your beer experience is kratom powder-infused foods. Not only is it great in supporting your health, but it is enjoyable with various other foods and edibles. One such easy yet delicious recipe is the kratom applesauce that can go amazingly well with chicken, fries, and beer. We all know that applesauce is the perfect hunger-buster. Along with that, the addition of green malay kratom, antibacterial cloves, and anti-inflammatory turmeric makes a plain classic recipe into a powerful snack that is sure to give you the energy that you need throughout the day.

Follow the recipe for creating this excellent beer snack: Mix 1 cup of applesauce, half teaspoon cinnamon, one-fourth teaspoon ground cloves and turmeric, honey or brown sugar, and kratom in a bowl and refrigerate for 5 minutes. Serve with chilled beer.

5.  Lemon G Live Resin

Pair this hash, i.e., Lemon G Live Resin with a kind of sour ale beer such as the Blueberry Dreamland from Black Project. The sour ale is an essential part of this brewer’s wild ales collection and it passes on a thrilling blueberry flavor, which meshes incredibly with the lemon notes of the bright yellow Lemon G.
