What Vapes Go Best with Beer?
Surprise, surprise: we love beer. We also love vaping, and enjoying the two together can turn two good things into a great one. In this video, James, Ian and Chris paired some of the new e-liquids going out in ZampleBoxes that month with a few wintry, high-alcohol beers.
Beer and vaping products are both for adults 21 and over, so this one is strictly for grown-ups. Please drink responsibly.

Why winter beers make good pairing partners
Winter beers tend to be big and rich. Styles like imperial stouts, barleywines and spiced winter warmers often bring notes of roast, chocolate, caramel, dried fruit and spice, which gives a vape plenty to match or play against. The specific pairings are in the video, but the ideas behind them work with any beer and any bottle.
How to pair a vape with a beer
- Match the flavors. A roasty stout and a coffee or cream vape echo each other.
- Complement the malt. Sweet, malty beers sit well next to caramel, vanilla and bakery flavors.
- Lean into spice. A spiced winter ale and a cinnamon vape make a cozy pair.
- Try a contrast. A bright citrus or other fruit vape can cut through a heavy beer, the way a squeeze of lemon lifts a rich dish.

Where things stand now
Pairing is still a fun way to explore flavors, as long as you keep it responsible. Many bars and breweries don’t allow vaping indoors, and local smoke-free rules often cover vapes too, so check before you puff and step outside when you need to. For a steady supply of new flavors to test against your favorite pint, the Zamplebox Club curates each box to your flavor profile, and you can swap any bottle before it ships.
