If you are a beer lover, you will agree that there are few things more satisfying than relaxing with an ice cold beer in hand and some delicious snacks. Put your feet up, watch the game and you don’t have to move until half time since you’ll have everything you need at hand. If you are not sure which snacks and foods to pair with your beer, here are some ideas.

Crisps with dip

Just imagine tucking into your favourite bag of crisps as you sip on a refreshing beer. The only thing that can make this even better is if you pair your chips with just the right dip! Remember, you should pair cheesy crisps with dips like salsa or even guacamole. Plain tortilla chips can be paired with a delicious cheese dip, much like nachos. Remember, you should not pair cheese crisps with a cheese dip since it will just be too overpowering. Your beer and snacks should also work well together so be sure to select a bold yet refreshing beer that will not be overpowered by strong-flavoured crisps.

Bite size sausages

Another great combination of beer and snacks involves serving some scrumptious mini sausages. They taste delicious, just like regular sausages but they are bite size so this makes them the perfect snack food.

Fries

Fries are the ultimate comfort food and you can serve them on their own or along with sausages, chicken, burgers or other portions of meat. If you manage to find some beautiful potatoes with thin, clean skins, you don’t even need to peel them! You can leave the skins on and this will give your fries a whole new flavour. If you are a fan of onions, you can also chop up large chunks of onion and add it to the pot and enjoy them along with your fries. This really changes the flavour.

Saucy chicken wings

Juicy and tender chicken wings are a delicious snack to pair with your beer. Make sure that they are marinaded before you cook them. This will ensure that they stay succulent all the way through. Cooking them slowly will also help preserve moisture and ensure that they are tender.

Mini hot dogs or burgers

Mini hot dogs and mini burgers are also super fun ideas when serving beer and snacks. These mini versions of our favourite finger foods make it easy for everyone to enjoy without getting too messy.

Delicious nuts

Let’s not forget about one of the most popular options when it comes to beer and snacks – nuts! Peanuts, walnuts, almonds and various other nuts are all excellent snacks to nibble on along with your pint of beer. Mixed nuts are great because they offer variety too.

These are just a few excellent ideas for serving beer and snacks when entertaining guests or even when you just want to relax all on your own or with your partner. The key is to choose salty snacks that will help bring out the flavours of the beer and make it that much more refreshing.
