Wheat beers go well with dessert. Citrus style desserts bring out their lemon/orange and spice flavors.
Brown ale goes quite well with a brown mushroom gravy over chicken.
Amber ale goes great with pizza and medium spicy foods.
Dry Stouts and porter are excellent with a good hearty soup/stew or a meat dish with brown gravy.
