When considering the infinite ways this can be achieved, we asked ourselves what brew fans love almost as much as well-poured pints. The answer: food. Pairing the perfect edible item with your lager is no longer reserved for culinary students and has become not only an art, but it is actually a [science](http://www.nature.com/srep/2011/111215/srep00196/full/srep00196.html).   Host a pairing event to bring the community together, or as a safety precaution to make sure attendees don’t taste test brews on an empty stomach. Whatever the occasion might be, show off your mad pairing skills to your guests by using the guidelines below to properly pair these ten different craft brews with entrees, appetizers, and desserts.   [![The Perfect Pair (1)](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png)](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png)   If you’d like to read more about pairing brews with food that compliment one another, below are some additional guides and articles that I found helpful.   [Wegman’s Guide to Beer and Food Pairing ](http://www.wegmans.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=667885&storeId=10052#chartLager)   [Pale Lagers: The Lightest Side of Light ](http://www.craftbeer.com)   [The Taster ](http://www.wegmans.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=667885&storeId=10052#chartLager)   [100 American Craft Beers Every Beer-Love Should Drink ](http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/lists/2014/05/100-craft-beers-you-have-to-drink.html?a=1)   [Tips for Pairing Beer and Food](http://www.craftbeer.com/food/pairing/tips-for-pairing)     [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/1885936/ff186c50-96a7-4f50-a0c3-0b8684539ce5.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/1885936/ff186c50-96a7-4f50-a0c3-0b8684539ce5) ![](https://blog.gopassage.com/hubfs/Blog%20Images/2026/In-Person%20Sales%20without%20the%20Chaos/Happy%20woman%20in%20baseball%20cap%20selling%20tickets%20at%20a%20venue%20entrance.png) ##### [How to Sell Tickets at the Door Without the Chaos](https://blog.gopassage.com/how-to-sell-tickets-at-the-door-without-the-chaos) [Learn More](https://blog.gopassage.com/how-to-sell-tickets-at-the-door-without-the-chaos) ![](https://blog.gopassage.com/hubfs/Blog%20Images/2026/Getting%20Paid%20Faster/Happy%20woman%20in%20a%20red%20suit%20looking%20at%20cash%20money%20falling%20from%20the%20sky.png) ##### [The Event Organizer's Guide to Getting Paid Faster After Your Event](https://blog.gopassage.com/the-event-organizers-guide-to-getting-paid-faster-after-your-event) [Learn More](https://blog.gopassage.com/the-event-organizers-guide-to-getting-paid-faster-after-your-event) ![](https://blog.gopassage.com/hubfs/Blog%20Images/2026/World%20Cup%20Watch%20Party/Soccer%20ball%20and%20beer%20on%20a%20table%20in%20a%20sports%20bar%20with%20fans%20cheering%20in%20the%20background.png) ##### [How to Host a World Cup Watch Party (And Actually Make Money Doing It](https://blog.gopassage.com/how-to-host-a-world-cup-watch-party-and-actually-make-money-doing-it) [Learn More](https://blog.gopassage.com/how-to-host-a-world-cup-watch-party-and-actually-make-money-doing-it) ![](https://blog.gopassage.com/hubfs/Blog%20Images/2026/QR%20Codes%20and%20Quicklinks/Close-up%20shot%20of%20a%20person%20scanning%20a%20qr%20code%20on%20a%20paper%20sign%20with%20their%20mobile%20phone.png) ##### [How to Use QR Codes to Sell More Event Tickets (and Bust the Box Office Line)](https://blog.gopassage.com/how-to-use-qr-codes-to-sell-more-event-tickets-and-bust-the-box-office-line) [Learn More](https://blog.gopassage.com/how-to-use-qr-codes-to-sell-more-event-tickets-and-bust-the-box-office-line) ![](https://blog.gopassage.com/hubfs/Blog%20Images/2026/FOMO%20and%20Urgency/Alarm%20clock%20and%20color%20papers%20on%20a%20red%20background%20with%20the%20words%20time%20is%20running%20out.png) ##### [How to Use Urgency and FOMO to Drive Ticket Sales](https://blog.gopassage.com/how-to-use-urgency-and-fomo-to-drive-ticket-sales) [Learn More](https://blog.gopassage.com/how-to-use-urgency-and-fomo-to-drive-ticket-sales) This is a search field with an auto-suggest feature attached. - There are no suggestions because the search field is empty.
