ipa food pairings

some potentially dynamic food pairings for your ipa:

thai chicken kebabs with baby greens

rich, creamy blue or gorgonzola cheese

sashimi, shrimp, crab and other light fish

roasted pork or suckling pig

beef dishes

buffalo wings or blackened chicken

tip:  hops contrast nicely with rich dishes, with strong spicy food and with bold, sweet desserts

tip:  if you're cooking with beer, any beer, don't reduce it first as the bitterness may become too much for the dish.  ipas are generally too bitter for cooking with, but if you want to experiment you could try to balance the bitterness with a touch of sweetness, salt or acidity.
