Did you know that pork scratchings, once a simple pub snack, are increasingly regarded as a delicacy? Despite their humble origins and somewhat rough presentation, pork scratchings have found a new market among luxury customers. Originally from the West Midlands, the heart of scratching production, these snacks are now featured as appetisers and gourmet toppings at dinner partners. 
 

Why Pork Scratchings and Craft Beer Work So Well Together

Pork scratchings, that crispy, salty snack you always see in the pub, are there for a reason. Beers offer a spectrum of tastes that complement the intense savouriness of pork scratchings beautifully. Naturally, craft beers would be a top choice for flavour pairing, from a fruity IPA to a moreish golden ale. 

Which craft beers go well with pork scratchings, you ask? Pork scratchings are famously enjoyed with beer due to their meaty taste and satisfying crunch. The type of craft beer that pairs well with pork scratchings varies based on the flavour of the scratchings:
