Craft Beer Choices to Pair with Fried Chicken
Five options that vary by Fried, Seasoned, Soy Sauce, and Spicy flavors
When selecting chicken and beer, it’s perfectly fine to go with a cold lager, but by separating the characteristics of the batter and sauce, choosing craft beer becomes much more interesting. A lightly seasoned fried chicken pairs well with the crispness of Kölsch and Pilsner, the soy sauce and herb seasoning connects to the citrus notes of Pale Ale, while sweeter seasonings can pair with the bitter notes of IPA. This list is a pairing suggestion organized to allow you to try five actual domestic products based on different types of chicken rather than declaring a specific answer.
Since strong sauces can overpower the delicate aromas of beer, try taking a sip before your food. Dividing the same chicken piece in half and alternating between two products allows you to easily determine if the carbonation cuts through the greasiness or if the hop aroma clashes with the seasoning. Be cautious when trying to suppress the spiciness with high alcohol content, as it may amplify the sensation. Remember, freshness and proper temperature are more important than stock availability.

Seoul Forest Craft Lager and Magpie Kölsch serve as a starting point that cleanses the palate without compromising the crispiness of the fried chicken. Seongsu-dong Pale Ale adds citrus and pine nuances to sauces like soy sauce and garlic, while First Love IPA combines sweet seasonings with fruity aromas. Magpie IPA retains the presence of hops behind oily and salty dishes, becoming a reference point for those who prefer strong flavors.
As pairing preferences can vary greatly, it’s a good idea to check if samplers or glass sales are available before ordering a whole bottle. Tasting the meat without sauce and the batter separately can help you more accurately identify which elements of the beer match well. If you’re with a group, pick one refreshing product and one with a strong aroma to share. You can still enjoy the differences in choices while reducing the quantity of both food and drinks.
