Beer breed: beer, cheese, flavors suggestions

Picked this up today and going to make it to pair with corned beef & cabbage. I’m not a beer drinker but my bf drinks Kona big wave. Would that be a good beer to use? I don’t want to buy a pack of beer just to make bread.

Also I was thinking about mixing in unexpected cheddar, chives and bacon. What do you guys think? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
