BBQ Question

Other than cold and/or free, what are your favorite beers/styles for BBQ? My brother has a couple of BBQ competitions. I'll be bringing some beers to help keep the crew motivated.

I like Dude's Watermelon Wheat. Any other ideas? It will be hot down here in Alabama around all those smokers.

I think the overwhelming majority of folks are going to pick lawnmower beers, light lagers, and other refreshing brews. In general, I'd rather have a dark porter with the kind of things that usually come off the grill or out of a smoker.

Smoked Porter for me.

Are you going to Memphis in May by any chance?

My brother might be going to Memphis, but I'll be going to the one in Birmingham, Al. Birmingham has a good one this summer at Sloss Furnas. Hard not to go to that one since it's right down the street. It's in July or August I believe......

Personally I like a nice hoppy IPA or Pale Ale with my BBQ.

I'm gonna second the lawnmower beers. I nice clean Kolsch would be a great choice.

Pale ales seem to work for me. Not going to get too buzzed and burn myself on the grill.

+1 I like a smoked porter but not with something else smoked.

I got the stuff for Beermuncher's Blonde today. I'll see how that works. The amber I have planned might work too. I haven't tried a Kolch or Lager yet.
