TASTE Summer 2026

JAZZED ABOUT JAPANESE This Asian cuisine is wildly popular because the flavour profiles offer something for every taste, whether it be delicate, bold, salty or rich. Summer weather seems right for chilled poke bowls, cold soba noodles and sushi. Asahi Super Dry is an ideal beer to pair here. Inspired by dry sake, it has a crisp, clean finish that acts as a palate cleanser between bites. If you’re near a food truck that grills Japanese hot dogs, grab some to go, or try okonomiyaki (a savoury Japanese pancake with cabbage, seafood or meat) or oshizushi (pressed sushi).

IN THE MOOD FOR MEXICAN To say that Mexican food is having a moment is a huge understatement. Taco trucks are seemingly on every corner, especially during the hot summer months, and most sit-down restaurants offer shareable meals to go. Classics like burritos, enchiladas and quesadillas combine beans, rice, cheese and proteins of choice. Modelo Negra is a Munich dunkel-style lager that is medium-bodied and smooth with a malty caramel finish that holds up to any Mexican dish. Try mole chicken, with its complex, savoury-sweet sauce, Mexican street corn, smoky chiles rellenos or citrusy ceviche, which all pair well with this versatile beer.
