Worst style of beer for pairing

Everyone suggests it for pretty much every food ever but IPAs are disgusting when paired w/ every kind of food w/o exception. If you need something to wash away all memory of the sad taste of Red Baron pizza, it works, but otherwise its bitterness lingers on the tongue ruining all bites offered both present and future.

In any case, that is my opinion. Maybe you have a different kind of beer you don’t think pairs well w/ food. I have no possible way of knowing unless you post it.

Chelada is a meal unto itself. It also pairs well w/ shrimp cocktail, bologna and American cheese.

You don’t like the pairing of hoppy beer with herbal/spicy dishes such as Thai/Indian food?

I’m with Frank: I really don’t like pairing IPA with food.

I think a chelada would actually pair pretty well with certain foods - a salad, perhaps.

In theory, it works w/ the combination of strong flavors and all but in practice, even the most strongly spiced meals are at best made no worse by the addition of an IPA pairing.

Even more so, black IPAs.

Spice/Herb/Vegetable - specifically, pumpkin beers. I can’t think of drinking one of those damn things with anything but a fall bread, and then, in most cases, there’s no real compliment there, just more of the same.
