There’s no better combination than wings and beer.
Need some help pairing your wings with the right kinds of beer?
Wings Over New Haven can help you out.
When pairing beer with wings, it’s more about the sauce than the meat. Conventional wisdom in the beer world says that malty beers tone down the heat while hoppy beers enhance it.
This may not always be the case though.
Some feel that bitter brews wash the palate clean, brushing away the oils that set your mouth ablaze.
Buffalo wings have big, brash flavors that need an equally brazen beer to tackle them. American pale ales and IPAs will do the trick. Both have bracing bitterness and juicy, citrus, hop flavors that will complement and contrast the searing wing sauce.
An IPA will have a bit more sweet malt backbone that can counter the saltiness of the underlying chicken. IPA also goes great with blue cheese.
If you prefer your wings on the milder side, try a German or Bohemian Pilsner. A crisp, clean profile and dry finish keep it light and drinkable, so you won’t be weighed down. Snappy bitterness stops the heat and crisp hop flavors will work well with the side of celery.
Bohemian Pilsner has a stronger malt backbone to balance the hop bite. The German version is all about hops, more bitter, and with a drier finish.
You could also try an all-malt, craft-brewed American Lager. It’s like the macro stuff but with a bit more flavor and body.
