Classic Super Bowl Snacks & Their Perfect Beer Pairings

1. Buffalo Wings & American Pale Ale (APA)

Why It Works: The spicy heat of buffalo wings pairs beautifully with the crisp, hoppy bitterness of an American Pale Ale.

Beer Pairing: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Dale’s Pale Ale, or a homebrewed APA using the American Ale Mr. Beer Kit.

2. Nachos & Mexican Lager

Why It Works: A light, crisp Mexican-style lager keeps things refreshing while complementing the saltiness of the chips and the richness of the cheese.

Beer Pairing: Modelo Especial, Pacifico, or a homebrewed Aztec Mexican Cerveza from Mr. Beer.

3. Chili & Stout or Porter

Why It Works: A rich, smoky chili needs a bold, roasted beer to stand up to it.

Beer Pairing: Guinness, Founders Porter, or a homebrewed St. Patrick’s Irish Stout from Mr. Beer.

4. Sliders & Brown Ale

Why It Works:It’s malty, smooth, and slightly nutty—perfect for beef, BBQ, or even mushroom sliders.

Beer Pairing: Newcastle Brown Ale, Samuel Smith’s Nut Brown Ale, or a homebrewed Mr. Beer Churchills Nut Brown Ale.

5. BBQ Ribs & IPA

Why It Works: A bold IPA’s bitterness cuts through the fattiness of the ribs while enhancing the BBQ sauce’s sweetness.

Beer Pairing: Lagunitas IPA, Bell’s Two Hearted Ale, or a homebrewed Long Play IPA from Mr. Beer.

6. Pizza & Pilsner

Why It Works: A crisp pilsner balances the flavors of pizza without overpowering them.

Beer Pairing: Pilsner Urquell, Victory Prima Pils, or a homebrewed Bohemian Czech Pilsner from Mr. Beer.

7. Spinach & Artichoke Dip & Blonde Ale

Why It Works: It’s light, crisp, and subtly fruity, making it a perfect match for the creamy, cheesy dip without overpowering it.

Beer Pairing: Kona Big Wave, Firestone 805, or a homebrewed Canadian Blonde Ale from Mr. Beer.
