Masala Mid-Over
Kick things off with the Masala Mid-Over, a playful twist on the classic shandy. Made with crisp lager, lemon soda, a generous pinch of chaat masala, and a squeeze of lime, this cocktail is the ultimate mood-setter. The bold, tangy fizz pairs beautifully with aloo chaat or spicy masala peanuts, perfect for munching between overs.
Pineapple Pitcher
If tropical vibes are your thing, the Pineapple Pitcher is your match-day bestie. Wheat beer meets pineapple juice, muddled mint, and a splash of soda for a drink that’s refreshing, slightly sweet, and super chill. Pair it with crispy popcorn or banana chips, the fruity freshness of the drink cuts through the salt and crunch like a dream.
Citrus Powerplay
A zesty spin on the classic shandy, Citrus Powerplay blends fresh orange juice with a bold Indian pale ale, finished off with a chili-salt rim for a playful hint of heat. Bright, refreshing, and just a little fiery, it’s the perfect match for smoky tandoori paneer, the citrus cuts through the richness, while the hoppy bite of the IPA adds an extra layer of punch to every sip.
Peachy Timeout
A soft, floral cooler, the beer cocktail combines peach syrup with a smooth pale lager and a splash of soda to create a mellow, easy-going drink. Its subtle sweetness and crisp finish pair beautifully with grilled veggie wraps, the fruity notes enhance the smoky flavours, while the lager helps keep the pairing light and balanced.
Over and Out Float
A dessert in disguise, this cocktail brings together dark wheat beer, coffee liqueur, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a creamy, indulgent treat. Ideal with chocolate brownies or caramel popcorn, the cocktail’s roasted coffee notes enhance the sweetness of the dessert.
So, whether you’re in it for the thrill, the flavours, or just the good vibes, these beer cocktails and bites are your perfect match-day duo. it’s all about making the experience your own. With these pairings, even the most casual game night can feel like a celebration. Cheers!
