YOU CAN’T WATCH THE MATCH WITH THE
PERFECT BEER AND NO SNACKS! SO HERE
IS OUR GUIDE TO FIVE OF THE BEST TO
MATCH WITH YOUR BEVERAGE OF CHOICE.
WAITROSE
WASABI PEAS
The wasabi pea has become the
‘snack du jour’ for many and it’s
easy to see why. Packing a spicy
punch that we think is ideally suited
to a hoppy IPA. The hop acids and
carbonation make IPAs great palate
cleansers.

AWFULLY POSH
PORK CRACKLING
These artisan pork scratchings,
hand-fried in small batches, are
setting the standard in pork
crackling. The sprinkling of Anglesey
sea salt make these pork rinds a
fine accompaniment to a thirstquenching
lager/pilsner.
TYRRELL’S
POSHCORN
Something for the
popcornnoisseurs, gold standard
corn popped into delicious, fluffy
butterfly-shaped morsels. The
sweet & salty variety go well with
the tartness of a sour or Berliner
Weisse
JACOB’S
TWIGLETS
Twiglets have a real marmite effect,
which is understandable given
the taste derives from the yeast
extract used in its coating, but we
think these nobbly nibbles perfectly
match a quality smoked porter or
a stout.
WALKERS
SENSATIONS CRISPS
It’s hard to pick out just one flavour
of crisp but we’ve gone with our
faves Walkers Thai Sweet Chilli.
We’d match these up with the
light hoppiness of a pale ale to
compliment the sweet satisfying
heat kick.
