+## Pairing Principles for German Beer
+
+1. **Match Intensity:** Pair lighter beers with lighter dishes, and stronger beers with bolder flavors.
+   - Example: Helles with a chicken salad, Maibock with spicy sausages
+
+2. **Complement or Contrast:** Either match similar flavors or create an interesting contrast.
+   - Complement: Dunkel with chocolate dessert
+   - Contrast: Hefeweizen with spicy curry
+
+3. **Consider Carbonation:** More carbonated beers can cut through rich, fatty foods.
+   - Example: Pilsner with fried schnitzel
+
+4. **Regional Pairing:** Often, beers pair well with foods from the same region.
+   - Example: Kölsch with Himmel und Ääd (Cologne-style black pudding with mashed potatoes and apples)
+
+5. **Balance Sweetness and Bitterness:** Use malty beers to balance spicy foods, or hoppy beers to cut through sweetness.
+   - Example: Märzen with spicy goulash, Pilsner with sweet BBQ sauce
+
+## Seasonal Pairings
+
+- **Spring:** Maibock with grilled asparagus and ham
+- **Summer:** Kölsch with fresh salads and grilled fish
