Burgers and Beer in , TX

Some combinations exist for good reason. A cold beer and a great burger - classics pair with classics, and we know how to do both. These pairings are built on how flavors interact, not just what sounds good together.

The Classic Smash® is all about the beef. A neutral, crisp lager like Miller Lite or Coors Lite (depending on which lager the Smashburger Spring location offers) stays out of the way. It resets the palate between bites without competing with the burger’s Maillard crust. Let the burger do the talking.

The Truffles Mushroom Smash® creates a deep, earthy umami flavor. Blue Moon's orange peel and coriander lift that heaviness with citrus brightness. It’s a contrast pairing that brings out the best in each. The wheat body is substantial enough to stand alongside the richness without disappearing.

The Bacon Stack Smash®’s applewood bacon is smoky and salty, with rendered fat doing most of the flavor work. Coors Banquet's malt-forward profile shares cereal compounds with the burger’s Maillard crust, creating a bridge pairing where both items complement each other. The clean finish cuts the fat without the aggression of a hop-forward beer.

The Deluxe Smash® is the most balanced burger on the menu. White Claw's tart carbonation and fruit acidity introduce a deliberate contrast, keeping each bite as interesting as the first.

Green chile heat in the Colorado Smash® activates capsaicin receptors that a beer’s carbonation can amplify. Modelo's slightly fuller body and light citrus hop character temper that heat transfer. The citrus oils in Modelo interact with the Colorado Smash®’s pepper jack cheese to soften the burn. A pairing built around managing heat intelligently.

The BBQ Bacon Smash® brings sweetness, smoke, and caramelized char. The tropical citrus notes in the Voodoo Ranger IPA cut through the BBQ's sweetness without flattening it. This is the most technically interesting burger and beer pairing on the menu.
