Who doesn’t love a good beer and a hearty meal, especially during the fall season? Märzen beers are typically malty, smooth lagers that have a slightly sweet taste to them. They’re perfect for pairing with meats of all types, whether it be brats or a steak—you name it, they’ll pair well with it. Check out these five Märzen and meat combos you need to treat your taste-buds with!
1. Bratwurst & Märzen
Brats and märzen are a classic combination that is still just as good today as it was way back when. Of course, any sausage can be made with this style, but the German tradition of bratwursts keeps this meaty treat on top of the list.
2. Spare ribs & Märzen
Spare ribs and märzen is an underrated combo that should be tried more often. The low and slow cooking style of the spare ribs gives way to a juicy meaty bite that goes down perfectly with an icy cold Marzen .
3. Pork Schnitzel & Märzen
Pork schnitzel is another German classic that works well with märzen. Because of the crunchy, yet juicy nature of the pork, it gives way to a perfect pairing for this crispy beer. But remember, if you are going to have schnitzel and märzens together, always have it with a lemon wedge to give the beer a nice zesty addition.
4. Grilled Chicken & Märzen
Grilled chicken and märzens is a great pairing for those looking for something different than the typical meat and sausage combo. It’s also a great option if you like to keep things simple and light at cookouts. Just make sure that the chicken has been marinated in some sort of sauce before throwing it on the grill.
5. Bacon & Märzen
This is not just a pairing of two classic American foods, but also provides an opportunity to try some sweet and savory combinations that will leave you wondering why you haven’t done this before.
