Beer note: With Anaheim and guajillo chiles lending their subtle heat, reach for a flavorful chilled beer, like a Scottish-style ale. Oskar Blues Old Chub Scotch Ale ($99/six-pack), from Colorado, has a rich, malty sweetness, hinting of caramel, that works to balance the peppery posole, while the beer's dark chocolate, toasted nut, and smoky notes complement the roasted pumpkinseeds in this richly layered soup. --Jeffery Lindenmuth
