Food-Matching Beers for dads who love rugby or football

(11/06/2009)

If your dad loves his rugby, then he’ll no doubt be watching the Lions Tour test match with South Africa on Father's Day weekend (20-21st June) so what better gift for him then a ‘chill pack’ of South’s African cider to enjoy with the game. The Savanna Chill Pack comes with 12 bottles of cider which stay cool thanks to its poly-coated lining – so he won’t need to leave the room.

Savanna Chill Pack, £14.99, available from Asda.

Chalky’s Bark and Chalky’s Bite are two fine beers born out of a collaboration between Rick Stein and Sharp’s Brewery. Chalky’s Bark has subtle hints of ginger, a perfect match for spicy food, whilst Chalky’s Bite has notes of fennel which goes great with any seafood. If your dad’s a real foodie, you’ll seriously be in his good books.

Chalky’s Bark & Chalky’s Bite are both available in cases of 12 bottles at £24, from Majestic stores.
