Kvarken The Blacksmith IPA

Pasta itself has a neutral flavour, so your choice of beverage will largely be influenced by the other ingredients, such as sauces, fillings and spices. To accompany pasta and pizza, it’s worth choosing a beverage that has the same level of richness as the food.

Most salads and vegetarian dishes go well with a fresh and reasonably light wine. When pairing them with beer, the best options are pale, crisp and relatively light beers.

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

Asian food is very diverse, but exotic dishes tend to be richly spiced and even quite hot. Light, crisp beverages work particularly well with spicy flavours.
