Burger & Beer Thread!

[Kickass]

I’ve been slumming it lately (had Wendy’s yesterday). I figured this raining horrible weather with my house full of sick people was the perfect day to make some quality burgers.

A 70/30 mix seasoned with my best friend’s secret spices and sharp cheddar cheese, on fresh brioche buns slathered with homemade mac sauce. My Rye Simcoe Ale is washing them down.

I don’t know if I can handle this. Where’s the cardboard box or food paper wrapper? This is equivalent to @bracconiere talking about using some fancy “new” hop or changing out his 30 generation yeast cake.

Now I’ll have to get solo cups for the beer. Go full trailer park!

hey @Kickass , this is your future!

Free shipping! Might overlook the $14’s for a pack of dry yeast.

what's next, snorting the stuff like ozzy and ant's, hoping you develope auto brewery syndrome!

Now that’s just wasteful. Unless you inoculate with a snot rocket. Which I imagine the question has been asked on here.

Couldn't decide whether to post with flash or without, so you get both.

Now drinking Buffalo Trace while I wait to throw the 18.5# brisket on the smoker overnight...

 

[Airborneguy]

Now that looks fantastic!

Burger looks great, tots look like they were abused

I think they might have been sticking to the foil on the sheet pan... Either that or my wife (who was plating this) was just in "get it done" mode after having already plated the three kids and still needing to do her own...

honestly i was on the fence if they were fish sticks or tots....But finally, i see mayo!

Tried to take the kids to Miller’s Ale House before a show we’re going to.

Took forever to seat us and then no waitress came so we had to leave. Ugh. At McDonald’s next door and honestly the kids are more excited than they were at Miller’s!

A new McD burger: Smoky BLT. Pretty good!

Grilled burger with lots of Swiss cheese and some grilled tots. Homebrew Mexican Lager. Not bad.....

I had bought a full beef tenderloin at a great sale price, and made a Wellington for Christmas dinner. Cut some into filets and I was going to grind trimmings for hamburger. Its been so long since I’ve used the grinder I couldn’t find it, so truly chopped beef burger with mayo on multi-grain bread, and before anyone declares it looks too healthy that lean beef has duck fat mixed in and was fried in butter.

^^^ Looks great

What's the consensus on which style of beer works best w burgers? I have an Ordinary Bitter in the fermenter now that I think may be in the top 5, so I'll be sure to report back once it's done.

While I generally prefer maltier beers with burgers, I generally prefer maltier beers in general.

Seriously, I think the beauty of burgers is that they go with any beer style. They’re so varied on their own with endless ingredient combinations.

Early dinner with the wife & my daughters before a small gathering at my house for the Eve. Texas Roadhouse Smokehouse burger and a Sam Adams Cold Snap.

Happy New Year everyone!

Ooo, is that a cheese lava flow moving off the plate on that perfectly cooked burger?

Sure is! The bun wasn’t that good, but everything else was spot on. Great burger. The cheese and mushrooms were overflowing to the last bite! I’m stuffed!

WTH, not one of you posts a burger with a dripping egg on it... Egg makes it soooo much tastier too. I guess I'll have to go to Burger Bench and have a beer and burger. Take the dog for his puppy patty too.

 

[day_trippr]

I had a burger with a fried egg once.
Shot a jet of yolk clear across the table and nailed The Spousal Unit

Ground round with American cheese. A touch of hot sauce. Mexican Lager to wash it down with. I'm stuffed now.

 

[Airborneguy]

Egg yolk is awesome on burgers. I’ve made various yolk sauces in the past. Or a whole egg, either way.

You guys missed my Cheeseburger Addicts Anonymous days. For 3 solid years I ran monthly “Meat Ups” at various local burger joints.

If you’re on Facebook, look us up. Covid killed the group but new posts still occasionally pop up.

Smashed (not smash) burger with caramelized onions under provolone. No mayo because Ina's recipe doesn't call for it.

Thanks, now I want loco moco…

Montana beef, Montana bun, Montana beer. The salad is homemade, the beans are from Bush’s and the pickles on the burger are from the corner of Cucumber and Vine.

The Goat, Hazlet, NJ.

This burger was SLAMMING! Not in the pic, but I was drinking a Twin Lights Lager (a local brewery). Dessert and bruschetta bonus pics included.
