    I would go with a lager or a wheat. Something a bit lighter.

    A pitcher of whatever is on special. Eating wings is all about the heat.

    One of my local haunts has wings that have a bit of a curry base. For these style wings, my favorite, a DIPA is PERFECT!!

    Id take a nice dry saison. Hoppy preferably. The pepper notes will play well with the spice from the wings and the crisp dryness will cut through the fatty sweetness.

    Depends on what sort of wings you are looking at. For spicey wings I like something more alcoholic, a barleywine or something, heavy malt. For other wings that have sweeter or BBQ sauces I like IPAs. I feel the hoppiness offsets the fat in the wings.

    Duvel for its light crispness and overall refreshing-ness! Excellent beer to stand up to the heat of the wings and refresh the palate before the next bite.

    I like saw tooth ale by left hand or anything new belgium. But to be fair new belgium is the solution to all of my problems beer or otherwise personal.

    When it comes to the Habanero level wings, Modelo Especial or Hacker-Pschorr for me.

    If it is a hot wing I'd go with something more light and easy drinking. If the wing flavor isn't overwhelming then you should be able to enjoy a little more robust beer.

    Lots of different wings, lots of different beers. Spicy wings go well with APAs or IPAs. Teriyaki wings with a Red Ale...
