This goes great with a Pale Ale or an American Amber/Red Ale. Recommend Fat Tire Amber Ale. Fat Tire goes with variety of foods and is a good casual drinking beer as well. Pale and amber ales are very popular worldwide. They have medium body, low to medium malty, and bitterness and aroma of hops. It does not have the after taste you may know of from IPAs. People who don’t like IPAs may like these beers as the bitterness is more mild and balanced with the malt.
