There’s a reason why beer and food have been best friends for centuries — the right combination can completely transform your dining experience. From spicy wings to rich desserts, beer brings balance, flavor, and fun to every bite. Here are seven perfect pairings to try next time you crack open a cold one from Howdy Brewery.
Bold hops meet fiery spice — a match made in flavor heaven. The bitterness of an IPA cuts through the heat and oil of buffalo or tandoori wings, refreshing your palate between bites.
Light and crisp lagers are ideal companions for delicate dishes like grilled shrimp, fish tacos, or calamari. The beer’s carbonation enhances the freshness of seafood without overpowering it.
Dark beers and chocolate share similar roasted, malty flavors. A smooth stout complements desserts like brownies or molten lava cake perfectly — it’s like a warm hug in a glass.
The citrusy, slightly sweet character of a wheat beer pairs beautifully with fresh greens, fruit-based salads, or even light pasta. Try it with a citrus vinaigrette for the ultimate refreshing combo.
The malty backbone of an amber ale balances the savory richness of grilled meats. Whether it’s a cheeseburger, pulled pork, or veggie patty — amber ale brings harmony to every bite.
A crisp pilsner cuts through the gooey cheese and tangy sauce of a pizza, keeping every slice as satisfying as the first. Bonus tip: it pairs amazingly well with pepperoni!
For something fancy, pair a fruity beer (like a raspberry ale) with soft cheeses such as brie or goat cheese. The sweetness complements the creaminess, creating an unforgettable flavor contrast.
Beer pairing is all about balance — bitterness with spice, sweetness with salt, and crispness with fat. At Howdy Brewery, we love seeing how our craft beers bring out new flavors in classic dishes. Try a pairing or two at your next dinner and taste the magic for yourself.
Beer has been part of human culture for thousands of years. From ancient Mesopotamia to modern taprooms, brewing has always been about more than just fermentation — it’s an art form. At Howdy Brewery, every batch we brew carries the same philosophy: great beer starts with passion, precision, and patience.

There’s a quiet revolution happening in the world of beer — and it’s local. Over the last decade, craft breweries have redefined what it means to enjoy a pint. Gone are the days when beer was just a mass-produced beverage. Today, it’s an art, a community movement, and a lifestyle.
