What's your favorite Beer Munchy?

Cheesefood?

What is this Cheesefood you speak of? Kaukana? Is it a spread or something?

I think I'm unravelling this mystery:

Lightly salted corn chips or blister peanuts. But, Kettle's Sea Salt and Vinegar potato chips are spot on for IPAs.

Depends on the drink, either pistachios or kaki-pea (sorry Land-of-my-birth, Japanese beer snacks kick ass!).

I have to say, the Japanese really bring drinking snacks to a whole new level. The variety that serious drinking establishments offer is astonishing.

I love the roasted ginkgo nuts served on a bed of coarse salt, and the tiny dried scallops & squid strips. My girlfriend is coming back from Japan in three days, and hopefully is bringing my favorite beer snack: dried nato! Something just feels right about having a fermented snack with a fermented beverage.

Sometimes I like pork rinds, the only thing is they make your breath smell like a dog crapped in your mouth!!

And old lady friend of mine is Mexican. She makes cracklins. You take Pork Rinds and reconstitute them. I'm not sure how. Maybe you boil them? Maybe you fry them? Anyway, you make them all soggy and use that as your meat for making tacos.

Yeah, it has a negative nutritional value, but damn is it tasty!!!!

Sun Chips
Kettle style potato chips - Salt & Vinegar, Jalapeno, or new SeaSalt + Peppercorn
string cheese
Cabot "hunter's cheddar" cheese
Tortilla chips w/ queso dip
Quesadilla if I'm hungry hungry, usually dribble some hot sauce on cheese before nuking

Beer pairs well with another glass of beeer.



How come no mention of pickled eggs. C'mon there's a whole thread here.

This ought to be an easy question for me to answer, but my tastes vary so much. Lately I've been on a pretzels with spicy honey mustard kick. When I'm brewing I always have chips & salsa handy. Other times, salt & malt vinegar potato chips are my choice.

But I guess my favorite "Man, this is living!" snack with beer is deer sausage, Keebler Club crackers and King of Clubs cheddar cheese spread from Mars' Cheese Castle!

No work - cashews
Some work - cheddar cheese and crackers
A little more work - WINGS!! (I learned how to make great wings last Fall, and break out the deep fryer whenever I can)

depends on my mood for sure but most likely I can be found nibling on triscuts with japaleno jack and smoked oysters or mussels. My bar is always stocked with a big jar of assorted pickled stuff. (the jar of olfactory death my wife calls it) usually full of eggs, pearle onions, cloves of garlic, baby carrots... etc

all of the above are perfect with a frosty pint of homebrew!
