Shepherd Neame India Pale Ale

Grilling gives food rich aromas of fire and smoke. Your beverage should be similarly full-bodied, but can also be relatively smooth.

Pork is milder than, for example, beef. So your beverage choices should also be on the lighter side.

Casseroles are usually rich in flavour yet quite smooth due to their long cooking times. A similarly rich and smooth beverage will therefore work well with them. If your food is very fatty, you can cut it with a well-balanced beverage.

Almost any red wine will work with beef, as long as it’s full-bodied enough. You can also opt for full-bodied beers with beef.
