How to Match Food with Beers

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Ivan and we are here with Expert Village and in this clip we are going to learn about beers, different kind of beers. Like wines, with beers there's also an excellent matching with food and beer. When you are having a soup such as consomme I would definitely recommend something of a lager or a pilsner, that's light and that also compliments the soup itself. Although generally people would say that you can't really drink any alcohol with soup, beer and consomme's are definitely an example of against the rule. This is recommended by restaurants. For main courses I would take lighter beer, lighter colored beer with poultry and fish and darker ales or stouts with heavier meat. Along the same line you drink with wine. For desert I would, again, go back to the chocolate, the cappuccino flavor of the Guinness that definitely adds desert beer. But mostly people that are beer drinkers are avoiding sweets. Beer is very good with salty snacks and salty food, beer is not the perfect match for desert. The other example might be the cherry beer, the kriek beer, which also has the sweet flavor to it."
