Reuters has a piece about beers to drink during the Super Bowl, and here’s how it breaks out:
• Ale is like red wine, and is better with “bigger, more flavorful dishes.”
• Lager goes better with lighter fare.
• “Lighter lagers (work well) to quench the fire from hot chicken wings, though the malt in ale has a sweetness that also works well with spicy foods.”
• “The hoppiness of ... ales really stands up very well with the spice from say bratwurst or chicken wings.”

- KC's View:
- For us, it will be the traditional Super Bowl meal of red beans and rice, with corn bread ... accompanied, at least in my case, by either a Sam Adams Red Ale or maybe a Whale’s Tale Pale Ale from Nantucket’s Cisco Brewery.
