Best BBQ Beer

[Caligirlbrewer]

In your opinion what is the best beer to wash down some delicious burgers or steaks? Summer is fast approaching and I'd love to perfect a good complimentary beer.

A fireman's 4 clone could work pretty well.

Berliner weisse! Its like lemonaid

 

[Caligirlbrewer]

What are your thoughts on an amber ale or red?

 

[frazier]

I like a nice dry IPA with BBQ. Or with anything.

 

[pernox]

Burgers; IPA.
Steaks; super dry stout.
Ribs; something without a ton of flavor, 'cause you're not going to taste it over the badass rib rub.

No doubt about it, American Pale Ale

 

[Randall]

Pale, ipa, or American red. Although my coffee Porter is on point right now and I can only think of tri tip and ribs when I drink it.

 

[BuddyWeiser]

While working the grill out under the sun and when eating burgers, a crisp pale ale or lager would be my favorite (maybe with lemon, lime, or orange zest added to boost the refreshing quality ). Otherwise, I like a porterhouse steak with a porter beer. Or prime rib and a stout! Now I'm hungry.

Hefs arent bad either

 

[wimpy]

Burgers an a nice cold CAP , smoked babybacks an a rauchbier for me!

APA: light enough on the flavor to not overpower, but still packs some good hoppy whollop!

 

[JonM]

I'll second the wits and add Yooper's hoppy American amber.

 

[Durso81]

So many to choose from. IPA, Pale Ale, Blonde Ale, Belgian Wit or a Wheat beer.

 

[TheCatman]

I like a good Kölsch/blonde or an APA.

A cold one.
