BEER BEER and MORE BEER
Weve paired 31 beer styles from around the world with over 500 foods. A smattering of cheeses are included as well. What beer goes with the pretzels on the bar, or that smoked salmon youre having for dinner? How about with pumpkin pie? OK, what are you going to eat with your Saison?

QUICK SELECTIONS
Choose your food, and youll be instantly shown beer styles that complement your selection. Another click brings you additional detail if you need it. Alternately, choose a beer style from the beer list, to be shown foods and cheeses that pair with that style.

BEER STYLES NOT BRANDS
Were not promoting any beer companies, were hoping to introduce you to different styles of beer. Try a smoked beer with your meal, or have a lambic with dessert. Well present the styles, and you choose the brand and the beer.

If you love beer, and youve tried them all, but still dont know what foods work with your favorites, this app is for you. If you want to venture away from the light bubbly clear and flavorless stuff they call beer and dont know where to turn, this app is for you too.

REVIEWS:
5 out of 5 Stars: Beckett Guide to Phone Apps
"On your next trip to the pub, dont get overwhelmed by the beer choices. This app suggests beers that go with cheeses and foods - so when you order fish and chips, youll know to pick out a sweet, rich porter or a hoppy pilsner. And it works the other way as well, so when youre in the mood for a pale ale, youll know which foods or cheeses to pluck from the menu. Browse lists of foods, beers and cheeses to find the right match."

Pros and cons of Beer Match: Beer, Food and Cheese Pairings app for iPhone and iPad

Beer Match: Beer, Food and Cheese Pairings app good for

This is a very well put together and complete application for matching different beers with all kinds of food. Overall an excellent piece of software for the price.
I think the pairings are great and quite accurate. The background images are a little distracting and the lack of a search function makes the app quite tedious.

Some bad moments

Crashes every time I do a food list alpha sort. Tried to find pork ribs by pressing P and R. Crashes everytime. Id like my money back.
App crashes whenever you try to go directly to a food or beer. You must scroll through entire list to avoid crashing.
Its not worth .99... They say it pairs beer and cheese but they dont even list a cheese for half the beers. JUST GOOGLE IT! Im so very disappointed by this crappy app. The creators are stupid and present this app to do something it doesnt.
I downloaded the app and when it finished downloading I tried to open it and it immediately switched off. I tried 4 times with the same results. Certainly not worth 99 cents.
