What's the best drink to have with a burger?

A crisp lager or pilsner suits almost any burger. For richer, bacon or BBQ burgers, reach for a hoppier pale ale or IPA. If you'd rather skip alcohol, a rotating-flavour homemade kombucha or a classic soft drink both work well.

What should I drink with a cheeseburger?

A pilsner or light lager is the classic match — the carbonation and crispness cut through the melted cheese without competing with it. A cold soft drink like Coca-Cola is the reliable non-alcoholic pick.

Does BB52 have local craft beer?

Yes — BB52 pours from Island Brewing and Black Sand Brewery, both brewed in Bali, including a Pilsner, Summer Pale Ale, Small Hazy IPA, IPA and Kölsch.

Does BB52 have non-alcoholic options?

Yes — homemade kombucha with rotating flavours, classic soft drinks like Coca-Cola, and water.

What to Drink With Your Burger

The right drink doesn't just wash a burger down — it resets your palate between bites, cuts through rich fat, and can make a good burger taste even better. Here's how to actually think about it, whatever you're drinking.

Craft beer

BB52 pours from two Bali-brewed craft breweries — Island Brewing and Black Sand Brewery. Here's how each one pairs.

Pilsner

Island Brewing · 4.1% ABV

Light, crisp, and built for easy drinking. The safe, reliable match for classic beef burgers and chicken burgers — it won't compete with anything on the plate.

Summer Pale Ale

Island Brewing · 4.5% ABV · Bronze, 2023 Asia Beer Championship

A step hoppier, with more forward malt. Pairs well with bacon or BBQ-sauced burgers like The BB52, standing up to the smoky-sweet flavour.

Small Hazy (Hazy IPA)

Island Brewing · 4.8% ABV · Silver, 2023 Asia Beer Championship

Tropical mango and nectarine notes with a smooth, juicy finish. A great match for spicier burgers or the plant-based Earth Burger and Basic Not So Basic.

IPA

Black Sand Brewery · 6.3% ABV · Silver, Asia Beer Championship

Balanced malt and hop with a bit more strength. Built to stand up to the richest options on the menu — think the Big M or the Pastrami Burger.

Kölsch

Black Sand Brewery · 4.2% ABV

A German-style brew with a hint of sweetness. Refreshing alongside lighter options like the Fillet o' Fish or Holy Chick.

Homemade kombucha

For something with character but no alcohol, BB52 makes its own kombucha in-house, with flavours rotating regularly. It brings the same palate-cleansing carbonation as beer, plus a tangy, slightly funky edge that works well against a rich, juicy patty.

Soft drinks

Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one. Classic soft drinks like Coca-Cola are the familiar, reliable pick — sweet, cold, and carbonated enough to cut through a rich burger without asking anyone to think too hard about it.

Water

Never underestimate it. Especially with anything spicy on the menu — like the Chicken Big M or Jalapeño Pop — plain cold water resets your palate better than anything else on this list.
