Beef: Strong ale, porter and stout are all sufficiently 'meaty' enough to go compliment the rugged flavour of beef.
Cheese: Try Brie and other creamy full flavoured cheese with a stout; goats cheese goes well with tart beers such as wheat beer or lambic beer; barley wine and strong ale go well with blue cheese; real ale and lager compliment the sharp and bitter taste of cheddar.
Curry: The combination of beer and Curry is by now classic. Try to go for lagers brewed in India (or by Indian companies, such as Cobra), as they are brewed especially to compliment spicy dishes.
Duck: Trappist ale and lambic fruit beers compliment the tangy flavour of duck.
Mushrooms: Rich malty beers go well with the strong muddy textures and flavours of mushroom based dishes.
Lamb: Lamb is both robust and full of subtle flavours; try spicy ale, a wheat beer, or a lambic beer.
Pies: Stout, Porter and Strong ales are an excellent accompaniment to pies, many of which contain ale or stout as an ingredient.
Pizza: Amber and brown ales suit the sweet and spicy flavours of Italian pizza.
Poultry: Lagers and Wheat beers go well with the robust yet light and creamy taste of chicken.
Salad: Light lagers and ales go well with a summer salad.
Seafood: Stout and oysters are a well-known combination, the textures going excellently together; fish go well with light lagers and bitters
