STORE LOCATOR FLYERS Home / Celebration Blog Post Beer vs. Wine…Why Not Both? Beer: Lager and pilsner Wine: Sparkling wines, such as cava and prosecco If you like your drinks to be light, lively, and easy-to-drink, beers like lagers and pilsners, and dryer sparkling wines like cavas and proseccos, tend to be crisp, fresh and bubbly. They’re a great option for cooling down on hot summer days, and they’re easy-drinking and easy to pair with lots of your favourite meals! Smooth, crisp and a little bit sweet Beer: Wheat ale Wine: Chardonnay or sémillon If you enjoy crispness, but crave a bit more richness, wheat ale as well as buttery chardonnay or sémillon are all great choices! The smooth, creamy mouth-feel and touch of sweetness found in these beers and wines are often cut with a bit of crisp citrus for a balanced and satisfying taste. Well-balanced and flavourful Beer: Pale ale Wine: Gamay or pinot noir Do you like full, rich flavour without too much heaviness? Pale ales as well as light red wines like as gamay and pinot noir are the perfect balance! You’ll get interesting flavours without too much bitterness, and just enough body without weighing you down. Spicy and complex Beer: IPA Wine: Cabernet franc or carménère Are you someone who enjoys sweet AND savoury? IPAs as well as cabernet franc and carménère wines have interesting and complex flavour profiles! You can also expect a good balance between bitter and sweet, with a bit of fruitiness. Deep and earthy Beer: Porter Wine: Chianti or Bordeaux Do you like your beverages to have punch? Rich, deep and earthy are all great ways to describe porters as well as fuller reds such as chianti and Bordeaux. The chocolaty, coffee and natural flavours found in these drinks aren’t just delicious, they also pair perfectly with rich and grilled dishes! So what do you think?
