While the variations of beer may not be as cut and dry as they are for wine (red, white, etc), the beverage has several distinctive styles and you can certainly create a more favorable food combination if you are interested in that sort of thing. If you have any experience with pairing wine with food, think of the distinctions between dishes served best with red wine and those better served with white wine. Whether you are familiar with wine and food pairing or not, consider the different types of beer from lighter taste to the darkest varieties as the spectrum of types.
