Is there anything that can't be paired with beer??

Brewkowski · May 10, 2009

It goes with everything right? With so many beers out there, is there any dish or food that just doesn't seem to work with some kind of beer? This could be a new challenge, find one food that just doesn't go with beer. Any suggestions?

beer does not taste good with broccoli.

WRONG.

Broccoli steamed in white wine with parmesan cheese...lots of black pepper and a twist of lemon goes great with a nice malty Amber Ale.

And the ensuing flatulence is....well.....priceless.

eewwww, good one. Anybody think of a nice brew they'd like to chase with this smelly fruit?

Flashing red and blue lights do not go well with beer AT ALL

Wine.

I've never tried it but sounds like a good idea to me.

Beer and donuts don't go well together.

I don't enjoy beer with my breakfast cereal, but hey maybe that's just me.

Brewkowski · May 11, 2009

Glazed donuts and hefeweizen or Cocoa Pops with a milk stout? Not exactly the breakfast of champions huh?

Then you've obviously never had Lucky Charms and Green Harp Lager.

I guess this really just depends on your tastes. For example some people love beer and crabs. I don't like crabs so for me this would not apply but is a reasonable pairing for some. I would never have a beer with sweet foods but again just me; but I also don't like sweet or chocolate beers either. I am sure someone out there likes washing down pixie sticks with a beer. I personally like beer with my beer and then eat once I had my fill.

Kind of a Yes but No on this.

My wife detests any beer with a wheat character or any Belgian yeast signature other than sour. We had a bitter arugula salad paired with a Wit. She normally would not drink a wit, however, the bitterness of the salad cut through the flavor that she doesn't like and made the wit spices shine though and compliment the wit based dressing.

Hmmmmmmm, Pixie sticks......I'm thinking.....

Brewkowski · May 11, 2009

Yeah, Big League chew and Pixie Sticks, that's a tough one. Three Floyd's BubblegumHead?

histo320 · May 11, 2009

Anyonve ever carbed with pixie sticks?

I might have to try that on 1 beer in my next batch. Maybe I just stumbled upon the next great thing in beer but it would probably result in some terrible off flavors.

Breakfast cereal.

Dry Irish Stout and Cap'n Crunch works for me.

Scrambled eggs and a Milk Stout for breakfast.

With a side of Grits.

Maybe if you're substituting stout for milk; with the milk, it's just NASTY.

Brewkowski · May 12, 2009

OMG, what the hell are pork brains? Well I can figure out what they are, but how would you even prepare those? I'm thinking any beer would go with them as long as it got rid of the taste. Where did you find those?

I'd think plain doughnut would go very well with beer.

Homercidal · May 13, 2009

I had beer with Superman Ice Cream once. Not good. But now I know there are many flavors of beer. One of them would probably work!

BrewBrain · May 13, 2009

black licorice. black licorice ruins everything it gets near. nobody likes black licorice. some people ~think~ they like black licorice, but they are wrong.

LooyvilleLarry · May 13, 2009

Coors or Budwiser.

What does Carlo Grootaert from De Struise Brewery and Sean Paxton know about donuts that you don't.

Cheerios is awesome with beer on it instead of milk.
