Irish Red Ale
This style is layered in malt complexity, ranging from soft caramel and toffee to biscuity and grainy notes. To top it off, the Irish Red Ale has a touch of roasted dryness and light fruitiness, making it a perfect pint to pair with.

Glassware
A nonic pint is best for this style because the shape allows enough room for the 1-1.5-inch foam head typically found in Irish Red Ales. If you don’t have a nonic pint, you can also sip this style from a mug.

Food Pairings
- Cheese: Gruyère and mild Derby Cheddar pair well with the toasty malts and light fruitiness of Irish Red Ales.
