An ice-cold beer pairs well with many classic bar foods like wings, nachos, and mozzarella sticks. However, a restaurant’s drink menu can seem overwhelming if you’re not familiar with the types of alcohol they have on hand. From porters to American lagers, here’s a short guide to some of the most popular beers sports bars have to offer.

Try These 6 Beers at a Sports Bar

1. Wheat Beer

Wheat beers are light, refreshing, and slightly sweet. Their sugary undertones complement rich, mild dipping sauces like barbecue and honey mustard.

2. Stout

These dark brews feature bitter, roasted flavors that are reminiscent of coffee. Because they boast hints of chocolate, they go well with luscious desserts like fudge or cheesecake.

3. IPA

4. Porter

Porters are dark, strong, and malty, but they lack the bitterness of a stout. This hearty, slightly sweet beer might overpower a salad, so be sure to order a deliciously fatty meat dish alongside, like beef or bacon.

5. Amber & Red Ale

These richly colored ales are sweet, but their mildly bitter undertones round them out to create a distinct, full-bodied brew. Pair them with a fresh, smoky burger for an unforgettable dining experience.

6. American Lager

Lagers are pale, light, crisp, and full of carbonation. Their neutral flavor is refreshing and cuts through heat, so they pair well with blazing-hot ingredients like habanero or jerk seasoning.
