Something crisp but also a bit smoky can complement the BBQ tastes of this dish like schwarzbiers, rachbiers, etc. You can also go with a smooth, slightly creamy, more delicate IPA that won\u2019t overpower the great flavors of this dish. Try <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxfarmbeer.com\/\">Fox Farm Brewery<\/a>\u2019s \u201cThe Camp\u201d Smoked Lager or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newparkbrewing.com\/\">New Park Brewery<\/a>\u2019s \u201cCloudscape\u201d IPA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For wine, try <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawkridgewinery.net\/\">Hawk Ridge Winery<\/a>\u2019s Mad Hawk Spanish style blend \u2013 Bold, bright fruit and smooth tannins make this Spanish style wine a delicious accompaniment to BBQ! The fruitiness of the wine will compliment the sweet flavors in the BBQ and the smoother tannins will not over power the chicken.
