Barbecue

Barbecue's smoky, savory characteristics with sweet and tangy sauce elements demand beverages that can stand up to these bold flavors. The recommended wines offer fruit-forward profiles with enough structure to complement the richness, while the suggested beer styles provide maltiness and complementary roasted notes that enhance rather than compete with the smokiness of the dish.
