Loimaan Puska DDH IPA

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

A strongly flavoured sausage is best paired with a comparably rich beverage. Another option is to counterbalance it with a light and refreshing wine or beer.

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.

When pairing hot and spicy food with alcoholic beverages, beer is usually the best bet. A fresh, pale and relatively light beer works particularly well. If you opt for wine, you should also choose a light and crisp option to offset the spicy food, or maybe even something a little on the sweet side.
