Beer & Wine Pairing Ideas for Football Season
September and football season go hand in hand across Alabama. If you’re putting together a game-day spread, the right beer or wine can complement many of your favorite foods.
Burgers and Grilled Meats
Medium- to full-bodied red wines can pair nicely with burgers, steaks, and other grilled meats. Beer fans may want to choose a refreshing lager, pale ale, or another favorite brew that stands up well to smoky, savory flavors.
Barbecue
Barbecue brings plenty of bold flavor to the table. Fruity red wines, chilled rosés, and a variety of craft beers can all work well alongside pulled pork, ribs, smoked chicken, and classic Alabama barbecue sides.
Wings and Spicy Foods
Cold beer is a game-day favorite for wings and spicy dishes. Crisp white wines and sparkling wines can also provide a refreshing contrast to foods with a little extra heat.
Cheese, Snacks, and Appetizers
For an easy football watch party, put together a spread of cheeses, crackers, dips, vegetables, and other finger foods. A versatile white, rosé, sparkling wine, or favorite beer can help round out the table.
Build the ultimate football game-day spread with juicy burgers, spicy wings, savory snacks, and refreshing beer or wine pairings perfect for sharing with friends and family.
Proper Storage Tips for Beer & Wine
Keeping beer and wine properly stored helps preserve flavor, aroma, and overall quality. Birmingham can still see plenty of warm weather in September, so proper storage remains especially important when bringing your purchases home.
Here are some helpful tips:
- Store white wines, rosés, sparkling wines, and beer in a cool place and refrigerate them before serving for the best taste.
- Keep red wines in a cool, dark location away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Many reds are best served slightly below typical room temperature.
- Avoid storing beer or wine in areas with frequent temperature changes, such as garages, car trunks, or near sunny windows.
- Store wine bottles with natural corks on their sides for longer-term storage to help keep the cork from drying out.
- Keep bottles and cans away from direct sunlight, which can negatively affect the quality of beer and wine over time.
- Once opened, reseal wine bottles and refrigerate them to help preserve freshness. Most wines are best enjoyed within a few days after opening.
- Transport alcoholic beverages carefully and avoid leaving them inside a hot vehicle, as Alabama temperatures can remain high well into September.
A little attention to storage can help make sure your September selections taste the way they were intended when it’s time to pour and enjoy.
