We want your meal at BareBurger™ to be a complete, immersive and satisfying dining experience. To that end we offer the following guidelines and information to assist with your beverage selection(s) at BareBurger™ and beyond.

*Note that taste is entirely subjective so feel free to experiment beyond any suggestions made here.

First some basic guidelines suggested by experts:

• Ales/Red wine with red meat. Lagers/White wine with poultry.
• Hoppier beer = Higher acidity in wine (best with spicy and rich foods).
• Complement food with beer characteristics (i.e. heavier beers with robust dishes, and light beers with lighter meals). Try contrasting flavors as well.
• Keep sweet with sweet and tart with tart
