5 OMG Pairings: Food that go perfectly with probiotic wheat beer
You’ve heard of the classic food pairings — wine and cheese pairing, champagne and oysters maybe even craft beer and burgers but what about pairing food with probiotic wheat beer? At OMG, we’re all about gut-smart indulgence, and that includes savouring the perfect bites with your favourite functional brew.
Unlike traditional beers, probiotic wheat beer is brewed using a unique fermentation process that retains live probiotic cultures, supporting better digestion, reduced bloating, and overall gut health. The result? A refreshing, slightly tart brew with functional benefits — perfect for pairing with foods that share the same wellness-forward mindset.
Whether you’re hosting a dinner party with friends or just unwinding at home after work, we believe that these five gut-friendly food pairings will bring out the best in both your taste buds and your gut.
Let’s raise a glass to good bacteria and even better flavor.
1. Grilled Fish Tacos with Cabbage Slaw
Imagine that crisp, slightly sour flavour of probiotic wheat beer that balances the richness of grilled fish and the tangy crunch of slaw. Plus, cabbage is a natural prebiotic, which helps fuel the probiotics in your beer.
OMG tip: Add a scoop of Greek yogurt with a dash of lime to add creaminess and an extra dose of probiotics!
Gut bonus: This pairing supports digestion, thanks to the fiber in the cabbage, healthy fats from the fish, and live cultures in the yogurt and beer.
2. Soft Pretzels with Spicy Mustard or Kimchi Cheese Dip
The wheat base in both the beer and pretzel creates a cozy, complementary vibe. Add in a fermented dip like kimchi cheese or Dijon mustard, and you’ve got flavour + function in every bite.
Fermented dips, like Dijon or a probiotic kimchi-cheese blend, not only add big flavor but also introduce friendly bacteria into your meal.
OMG tip: Pick wholegrain or sourdough pretzels for added gut-friendly fiber. The fermentation in sourdough complements your beer’s probiotic content and enhances digestibility.
Gut bonus: This snack combo is hearty enough for happy hour and functional enough to support your gut lining and microbiome with every bite.
3. Charcuterie Board with Fermented Veggies and Aged Cheeses
Think beyond grapes and brie. A well-curated charcuterie board can be a gut health playground when you include probiotic-rich and prebiotic-friendly elements. Imagine: aged cheeses like gouda and cheddar (which naturally contain probiotics), tangy fermented veggies like kimchi, pickled radishes, sauerkraut or briny olives alongside your favourite cured meats or plant-based alternatives.
OMG tip: Add some seeded crackers or a slice of sourdough for a more gut-friendly food pairing. For a plant-based twist, use marinated tofu as your protein feature!
Gut bonus: You’re hitting multiple functional food notes here — live cultures from fermented veggies and cheese, fiber from the crackers, and a perfect sipper to tie it all together.
4. Spicy Thai Noodle with Peanut Lime Dressing
Can’t take the heat? Fret not. The tangy, bubbly nature of probiotic wheat beer cuts through spice beautifully, cleansing your palate while enhancing the punchy Thai flavours.
OMG tip: Opt for whole-grain or buckwheat noodles to boost fiber, and load up with fresh herbs like cilantro and mint to support digestion and balance. Toss in carrots and cucumber for added texture.
Gut bonus: Spicy food can rev up digestion, and pairing it with probiotic beer supports gut flora balance — a win-win for flavour and function.
5. Roasted Veggie Flatbread with Hummus
Earthy, roasted vegetables + a probiotic-packed hummus + a lightly fermented beer = a gut-loving food pairing. The slight tartness of the beer brightens the dish, while the hummus adds creamy depth.
OMG tip: Add pickles on top for an extra layer of flavour. Feeling adventurous? Add a sprinkle of za’atar or dukkah for a Middle Eastern twist.
Gut bonus: You’re getting plant-based protein, fiber, healthy fats, and probiotics all in one dish — it’s practically a wellness bowl in flatbread form.
It’s time to eat well and sip smart!
Pairing food with OMG probiotic wheat beer isn’t just about taste — it’s about creating a functional food experience that’s delicious and digestive-friendly. From the fiber-rich sides and fermented toppings to the complex flavours enhanced by your brew, each pairing is designed to delight your taste buds and support your digestive health.
