Everyone is familiar with pairing food and wine.
You
are probably less aware that different beer styles are
appropriate for different foods.
Here is a starter
course in the art of putting the "right beer" with the
"right food" |

|
|
Beer & Food Pairings |
|
Food |
Considerations |
Complementary Beer Style |
Cheeses
|
Beer should be balanced with strength of
cheese, not overpowering it. |
|
|
Mild |
|
Lighter Ales, Lagers. |
|
Smoked |
|
Full-bodied or darker Ales |
| |
|
|
|
Nachos & Salsa |
Beer must stand up to combination of meat,
cheese and spicy salsa |
Pale Ales, Amber Ales, Borown Ales, Porters,
Stouts, Lagers, Marzens, Bocks |
| |
|
|
Salad
|
Lighter, less malty brews will compliment
most salad dressings. |
Wheat Ales, Golden Ales, Blonde Ales
|
| |
|
|
|
Entrees |
|
|
Chinese
|
Hoppy or full-bodied brews will match most
spicy, ethnic dishes. |
Pale Ales, Amber Ales, Brown Ales, Porters,
Stouts, Dark Lagers, Marzens, Bocks |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
Poultry
|
Pairing can vary to match preparation.
Light-bodied brews with light marinades and broiled poultry;
full-bodied beers with BBQ and gravies. |
|
|
Broil: |
|
Lighter Ales, Pilseners, Lagers. |
|
BBQ: |
|
Pale Ales, Darker Ales, Lagers, Porters,
Stouts |
| |
|
|
Red Meat
|
Moderate to full-bodied malty beers will
balance hearty meat entrees. |
Red Ales, Amber Ales, Brown Ales, Lagers,
Bocks, E.S.B.s |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
Seafood (fresh fish)
|
Lighter to moderate-bodied brews will
compliment grilled/broiled dishes; fuller-bodied brews with
smoked preparation. |
|
|
Grilled/ Broiled |
|
Wheat Ales, Golden Ales, Pilseners, Lagers |
|
Smoked |
|
E.S.B.s, Pale Ales, Amber Ales
|

spiciness of these dishes. Malty brews tend to offer a good
balance. |
Dark Lagers, Marzens, Bocks, Pale Ales,
Amber Ales, Brown Ales, Porter Stouts, "Smoked beers" also
match nicely |
| |
|
|
|

nicely. |

Pizza Math
Ever had to figure out how much pizza to order?
The simplest and easiest way to order pizza is simply to ask
each person how many slices they will eat and then ordering the
requisite number/sizes of pizza optimizing for variety of choice
and economy of scale.
Let’s do the math, because the world should know the best and
simplest formula for figuring out how much pizza to order.
|
Pizza Size |
Diameter |
# Slices |
Surface Area Per Slice |
|
Medium |
12" |
8 |
14 sq. in. |
|
Large |
14" |
10 |
15 sq. in. |
|
Extra Large |
16" |
12 |
16 sq. in. |
The most important thing is that slices do not vary wildly in
size - maybe by a bite or two, but that a slice of a medium pie
will probably be equally filling to a slice of an extra large. |
