    • What beer to drink with your favourite doughnuts

    Hot chili and cold beer are made for each other

    These holey snacks are always up for a good time — and now you know which brews are their BFFs

    When it comes to fried dough, we’re not beating around the bush (-el of icing sugar). You want the perfect beer to accompany your prized snack, and that’s what we want for you too. Here, pairings that really take the cake.

    Old-fashioned + amber lager or pale ale

    Ain’t no shame in the plain-Jane game. If a sweet-but-not-overdoing-it OF is your OG, grab a not-too-hoppy amber lager or a British-style pale ale to go with it.

    Apple fritter + pilsner

    Apple pie filling rolled into dough with a sugary glaze? Don’t mind if we do. Some bakers swear by adding pilsner to this sweet dough. It makes a tasty match with the finished product as well.

    Maple + dark ale

    What does Canadian heaven taste like? That would be maple syrup and brown sugar, which is why a dark ale hits the sweet spot for maple doughnuts. In fact, its flavour profile is similar to a maple-pecan tart, and who wouldn’t want that?

    Boston cream + American-style pilsner

    A little custard never hurt anybody, and this indulgent dough fest pairs excellently with a light-bodied, citrusy American-style pilsner, which offsets the richness of the heavy cream. It’s all about balance.

    Honey dip + honey beer

    Honey times two is the way to go when it comes to a classic dip. Translation: A honey beer is the one for you.

    Jelly + fruit beer

    A fruit-infused beer is your jam, since it’s not going to compete with the gooey filling of these stuffed marvels. So get creative by mixing a cherry beer with a strawberry-filled goodie, or whatever. The world is your doughnut.

    Cinnamon sugar + Belgian-style ale

    Belgian-style ale can compete with the grainy, spiced sweetness of cinnamon sugar, because it packs its own rich flavour complex. No egos here, just compatibility.

    Double-chocolate + stout or porter

    You probably could have guessed this match, since its rich malted barley and chocolaty flavours go so well with most decadent treats. Ding, ding! A stout or porter is what your double-chocolate doughnut wants. It’s a cocoa trifecta up in here.
