Pairing Tips
Start with Lager. A fresh, clean lager brings cooling contrast and refreshing carbonation. Choose moderate bitterness alongside chilli and spices. Serve a modest measure so the drink supports the food. An alcohol-free beer in a similar style is also an option; choose one with a comparable balance of sweetness and bitterness.
