Which Beer Styles Pair Best With Women’s Favorite Comfort Foods?

Ever wondered if your favorite mac and cheese tastes better with the right beer?

Listen, I'm not saying beer is the solution to everything, but if you're anything like me, it certainly makes life's little problems easier to swallow—especially when those problems involve deciding which beer goes best with your comfort food cravings. As someone who's spent more than a few evenings passionately debating this topic (mostly with myself and occasionally with my cats), I've realized it’s time to settle this matter once and for all.

Why Comfort Food and Beer Belong Together

If you’ve ever paired wine with cheese, beer with comfort food works pretty much the same way—but it’s a whole lot more fun. Imagine devouring a gooey grilled cheese sandwich paired with something fruity like our pineapple yuzu beer. Sweet, citrusy, and just the right amount of fancy. It might even impress your mom (no promises, though).

The Mac and Cheese Pairing You Didn’t Know You Needed

Honestly, mac and cheese has never let me down, and if it's ever betrayed you, it's probably because you microwaved it too long. The best beer to pair here is definitely something bright and fresh like our blueberry lavender. Trust me, it adds a floral hint that’ll make you wonder why you didn't try this sooner. And because I love you, here's a handy guide on beer pairing so you don't have to just take my word for it.

Pizza Night, Meet Your New Beer Bestie

Pizza night is sacred, okay? And yes, pineapple absolutely does belong on pizza, just like beer belongs in your hand. If you haven’t paired a spicy pepperoni slice with a beer like our pineapple yuzu, you're missing out. The spicy and sweet combo is better than that Netflix show you're binge-watching (don’t deny it—I see your Instagram stories).

Fried Chicken and Beer: A Love Story

Nothing—and I mean nothing—is more comforting than fried chicken after a long day. Pair this with a crisp, refreshing beer, and you've basically created a moment worthy of a rom-com montage. I've personally found that fruity beers like our blueberry lavender perfectly balance that salty, crispy chicken goodness. It's not just me; here’s someone smarter backing me up on this.

Chocolate and Beer: Because You Deserve Nice Things

Ever felt judged for pairing beer with chocolate? Same. But chocolate and beer are soulmates that society refuses to acknowledge. Dark chocolate paired with something fruit-infused like pineapple yuzu beer is truly life-changing. The bitterness from the chocolate complements the sweet citrus, making it an adult version of your favorite candy bar. Don't knock it 'til you try it, seriously. Here's another article to further validate your life choices.

Beer with Nachos: Because Wine Doesn’t Belong Here

Wine with nachos? That's cute. But beer with nachos? Legendary. My personal recommendation is something that won’t overpower all that cheesy goodness. A lighter, fruit-infused beer will cut through the grease, and frankly, if your nachos aren't a little greasy, you're not doing nachos right.

Speaking from experience (and countless nacho emergencies), beer makes everything taste better. And if you're not convinced yet, I’m here to chat more about your beer pairings—seriously, reach out anytime through our contact page. I love these conversations.

Women and Beer: We’re Brewing Our Own Stories

I've spent enough time around beer to know that women have always been part of this story, even when it didn’t always feel like it. Sometimes, brewing beer or just enjoying it felt like I was part of a secret club. But here's the truth: We're not alone, and we’re definitely not oddballs for loving beer.

Whether you're pairing beer with comfort food or brewing it yourself, every woman deserves to be celebrated and supported. So next time you're doubting yourself, remember there are plenty of us out here turning our kitchen into a tiny brewery or proudly cracking open beers in public—yes, even beers in colorful cans labeled "Girl Beer."

So go ahead—pair boldly, sip proudly, and never apologize for your beer choices. You're in great company.

Cheers To That ❤️,
