The best Burger and Brew combos for National Burger Day

National (Ham)Burger day descends from the heavens but once a year. This year we’re celebrating on May 28th… ALLLLL day. To help make the impossible choices of where to chew and what to sip a little easier, we’ve pulled together a guide on the best Burger and Brew combo’s you can get your hands on.

From your very own kitchen

Try as you might, there is no excuse good enough to skip stacking together your own burger and brew combos at home. We’ve gathered some delicious recipes to get you on your way…

Ginger Beer Pulled Chicken Burgers + Bundaberg Ginger Beer

Go all out with these Ginger Beer Pulled Chicken Burgers and drink a Ginger Beer for added zing! Yes, making the (delicious – trust us) sauce does mean you’ll have a wait a little while before enjoying these beauties but they are well worth it. Your home will smell delicious and you’ll be patting yourself on the back in no time.

Fried Chicken & Buttermilk Waffle Burger + Bundaberg Peach

Ok, so the original recipe says to stack your chicken on top of the waffles, but we all know the south is onto something good with this combo. Pop your fried chicken between the waffles and drizzle on some maple syrup – maybe add a couple slices of crispy bacon for good measure and nomm nomm nomm. If you’re on the West Coast wash it down with a Bundaberg Peach (or Ginger Beer if you’re not) and tell us we’re wrong… we dare you.

From the burger joint/ fish and chip shop down the road

Not every burger experience being savored this weekend will be courtesy of a major chain or your home kitchen. If you’re one of the many heading down to your trusty local for a burger and a brew be sure to keep an eye out for these great combos.

Traditional Steak Burger or Hamburger

Depending on where you are located your steak burger or hamburger could be partnered with American Cheese, eggs, pickles, onion, relish, bacon, mushrooms, a side of Mac ‘n Cheese… anything really. When your tried and trusted is one of the nation’s favorites, the only match is another favorite – Bundaberg Root Beer.

Spicy Chicken or Tuna Burger

Pile on the Jalapenos, drizzle on some spicy chipotle mayo and indulge in a Bundaberg Guava to step up your chicken or tuna burger game. This combination of spicy and sweet is only available on the West Coast but if you live anywhere else you can amplify the zing with Ginger Beer!

Pulled Pork & Slaw

An incredibly popular burger, the pulled pork and slaw burger goes with Bundaberg Ginger Beer like no other burger before it. Now we admit, it’s unlikely you’ll find this match up in a burger store – if you do happen across it, treat the place like gold. If not, pop into your local grocery store and grab a 4pack for the fridge – it’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to a burger and brew combo.
