 Matching Beer & Food
Belgian witbier, which is light and spritzy, would be an example of a "low-impact" beer, while imperial stout, which is roasty and powerful, would be a "high-impact beer." To have a successful match, you’ll want to match the impact of the beer to the impact of the food.
The beer I chose, though, was Samuel Smith’s Taddy Porter, a beer with plenty of caramel flavor on a smooth, silky, slightly sweet palate.
The caramel flavors of the beer matched perfectly, and the buttery flavors that Samuel Smith is known for dovetailed smoothly with the brown butter.

 The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Obituary | Chemist invented light beer

Owades later said, the Gablinger's television advertisement showing a man with the girth of a sumo wrestler shoveling spaghetti into his mouth and downing a Gablinger's did little to help the cause.
Owades was regarded as the father of light beer.
