When it comes to certain occasions or times of the day, we often reach for wines and spirits to drink, but the incredible variety and diversity of beers means that you can also find a brew that matches equally as well, if not better. So, before you reach for the prosecco to celebrate or a spritz for a summer barbecue, take a look at our round up and get inspired.

Looking for something to sip on a special occasion or as a fizzy aperitif? If you’re craving bubbles and the dry, crisp flavours of sparkling wine then try seeking out a gueuze beer instead. Made in Belgium, a gueuze is a blend of spontaneously fermented lambic beers, and in taste and character often seems more wine-like than beer. With plenty of champagne-like bubbles (like champers it gets a second ferment in the bottle – hence the fizz), tart, fruity notes and perky acidity, it’s deliciously complex.
