In the bag If your ultimate food and drink pairing is potato chips and beer, now you can have them all in one bite. The folks at Beer Chips in Portland, Ore., decided chilly brews and crisp potatoes go together so well that they came up with a thick-cut, kettle-style potato chip flavored with real beer. The result is a terribly addictive, crunchy potato chip with a pleasant, if subtle, taste of beer. The perfect accompaniment to, well, a glass of beer. The company also makes Chip Shots, margarita flavored potato chips with tequila flavor and lime, and Hot Potatoes, which are spicy Bloody Mary-flavored chips. Beer Chips and other flavors are available for $7.45 for five 2-ounce bags from www.beerchips.com. Associated Press
