Beer Party Dip

No game-day party is complete without dip! There are so many to choose from–buffalo chicken, seven layer, the one with marshmallows that your aunt always brings–but we’re partial to this cheesy, hoppy spread that pairs perfectly with pretzels, crackers, and veggies. It’s universal appeal will please kids and adults alike–don’t worry, all the alcohol is cooked off during the heating process.

If cooking for your big party isn’t your thing (we see you Chef Delivery Service), pick up some snacks that pair perfectly with Frio Beer. From chips and pretzels, to pizza and chicken wings, football snacks and Frio beer go together like peanut butter and jelly. Plus, our light beer is low calorie and offers a clean, crisp taste. It’s so light on your stomach, in fact, that you and your guests can save room for the snacks and enjoy drinking and eating all party long.

Beer Mustard

Whether you’re serving up burgers and dogs, or chewy soft pretzels, your guests won’t say no to this incredible homemade beer mustard. We recommend using brown and yellow mustard seeds for a spicy yet tangy kick that will be sure to elevate your typical game day offerings.

Grilled Beer Bratwurst
