pairing beer with food.

putting the wrong beer with your meal can ruin the experience of both the meal and the beer.



discuss.

[jonathan_matos5]

for the record i tonight i had pot roast and a Sam Adams Old Fezzywig Ale. both were quite tasty

[Mark Wilson]

True.

If you have Guinness and a lot of bread, it's like...10 loaves of bread.

I usually don't drink WHILE i'm eating. I'll have a sip or two, but I usually drink it all before, or after.

[Trevor.A]

Sam Adams Cream Stout and pizza taste awful together.

[Linas]

Anchor Steam + pizza = win. There is a gourmet resteraunt somewhere in chicago that specializes in beer pairings. I wana go but dont have gourmet dollar. :-(

I'm not a great fan of any kind of alcohol with food to be honest.

That is possibly the saddest thing I've heard all day. No smoked porter with some BBQ? No Sangiovese with eggplant marinara? No margarita with Chile relleno? No sake with tempura?

I can't imagine NOT pairing alcohol with food.

+1. I only really drink water with food. In the case of beer or wine I just take a few sips for the taste while eating, and I'll usually end up finishing the glass/keg after I've eaten.

[ADbassman]

Every wine and beer pairing I've had has been simply awful.

[Mark Latimour]

Beer battered chips.

I really enjoy it with any meal.

I'm sorry...

I quite like a really cold cider with a BBQ, but other than that I've just never really enjoyed them together.

If I'm drinking while eating, then the beer has to have a delicate taste. Like I could never drink a stout or oatmeal ale with dinner..gag...I'll save that goodness for after. Something Japanese like a Sapporo, or Kirin is good. Mexican beer is also good with food, like a Corona or Dos Equis.

+1. Pale ales and lagers seem to cut better after a bite of something. Fish and chips, pizza, steak and vegetables, sushi, pho, etc. I'm looking for something with a clean taste to cleanse my palate. Thick stouts and Porters are better taken *as* dessert than with dessert.

IPA goes with everything

[Mazatleco17]

One of my friends at a party was having..get this, an slice of cake and a tequila based drink of course he was already drunk at the time, but seriously wth.

[Tsal]

I've noted that oktoberfestbier, as in slightly stronger and a tad bitter lager, goes well with greasy bratwurst One of my favourites is a strong, sweet porter with xmas ham and mustard.

[NJL]

Dos X with wings and fries.

[tZer]

Hot Wings and Hefeweizen = 'nuff said.
