Whats your favorite food with a beer???

[EoinMag]

I rarely drink alcohol and eat at the same time, maybe three or four times a year. This results in barbecue being what I'd normally have with beer at outside parties.

 

[SevenFields]

Chicken Curry with an IPA

Pizza's great, as are most of the other suggestions, but what about popcorn? Am I the only one who looks forward to a weekend evening watching a movie and enjoying popcorn and a beer or four?

 

[thedigitale]

I wouldn't put a delicate wit up against some hot wings, and I wouldn't pair an IIPA with foie gras. I usually look at a menu and decide what I'm going to eat, then look to see what beer will pair best with my food.

I think it's kind of funny how pizza and wings are the popular answers here. They're both tough on beer, and will easily overpower many beers. If I'm drinking BMC, this is acceptable, but otherwise I want to try to compliment the food with the beer.

I would have to say BRATWURST with SAUERKRAUT on a warm hoagie paired with a nice blonde.

 

[DrJekyll-HomeBrew]

pasta or pizza with a honey ale and/or a IPA; or red ale with bbq

I dont know about the blonde part but you cant beat a Brat boiled in beer then thrown on the grill.............Heaven on a bun

 

[BA_from_GA]

pizza. Hands down.

Also Cheese, a good burger, fish and chips MUST have a beer.

I just like a nice easy drinking beer with my brats like a wit or a blonde ale. Do you know anyone who doesn't like a good brat?!

German sausage/pretzel/mustard with a Dunkelweizen to drink === HEAVEN.

Cheese, wings, or Barbeque (and for those of you not from North Carolina... Barbeque = smoked pulled pork)

HAHA with some mustard? That's not BBQ my friend. Here in Texas BBQ is smoked brisket with typically a tomato based sauce. I must admit I've smoked a pork butt or two, but I prefer the real BBQ which is known down south as brisket. I must agree with you on the wings. Wings are probably in my top three favorite foods. I'd say probably the best bar food.

 

[cackalacky]

Nah, the mustard thing is one state down in SC. Around here it's a vinegar/red pepper sauce.
I knew someone would have to something smart to say about the barbeque... that's why I posted it.
I saw a quote one time (this might be paraphrased) .... "Barbeque in the South is like Wine in Europe; drive 50 miles and the barbeque changes."

It's no question different places have different styles. That's the beauty of it. I enjoy it all, but I never really understood why you guys just don't do pork and beef.

 

[MultumInParvo]

A good burger and good beer is hard to beat on a summer night. The burger is just so versatile that you can pair practically any beer with one. Add blue cheese, aged cheddar, bbq sauce... There is a world of options.

 

[Omnihility]

Steak. A nice thick porterhouse steak with a lager/pils, IPA, pale or stout. Well, porter works too.

 

[dunnright00]

I can't believe I'm the first to say, A Big Fat Carne Asada Burrito!!!!

BBQ is also good. I feel kinda naked if I go out to the grill and I don't have a beer in my hand.

Pizza also, but I know the grease is inevitable going to give me heartburn.

 

[justflow1983]

Anyone know of a good beer pairing for Spaghetti?? It's the only food I drink red wine with but would much prefer a beer with it!!

Try a dark, sweet beer like a Bock, in order to get the same heavy flavour as the wine. Maybe a Barleywine, or even and ESB if its not particularly bitter.

What sauce did you have in mind? I don't think a light beer would pair well with a red sauce, just like a white wine would be overwhelmed by the tomato.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Sushi! (10 characters)

 

[Token]

A big, hearty burger!

Chocolate (like cake or brownies).
Pizza sometimes. Sometimes I want a soda with my pizza.
A nice medium rare steak.

But mostly the big, hearty burger.

 

[hankisanerd]

another beer is my first choice but my second would be 10oz grilled burger.

 

[justflow1983]

Depends on the beer:

Lighter or hoppy beer (Pilsner, APA) I like with something super spicy like Lamb Vindaloo

Darker beers (Stout, IPA) I prefer to have something meaty like a burger or a steak

Sweet/yeasty beers like belgians or bocks go great with pasta or tapas.

Depends on the combo, but generally I like beer with spicy food and for more hearty stuff I prefer wine and then beer after I'm done eating.

 

[petep1980]

I love drinking a nice hoppy American Amber or an ESB with pizza for whatever reason. The twang and spiciness of the sauce and pepperoni compliment the beer beautifully.

 

[Kaner]

BBQ ribs and a double IPA, life doesn't get much better than that!

 

[Handle]

I've seen some great answers: BBQ, wings, burgers, steaks, cheese.

But I'm frankly shocked that in nine pages no one has mentioned chili.

Nothing beats a spicy, steaming bowl of chili and a nice beer.

 

[yummybeer]

The correct answer is cheese.

no, the correct answer is pizza, especially chicago stlye pizza.

 

[justflow1983]

I got food poisoning at the original Uno in chicago when I was a kid. I still won't eat the stuff, so New York pizza it is.

 

[Tonedef131]

no, the correct answer is pizza, especially chicago stlye pizza.

I actually don't care for beer with my pizza..*gasp*

Here's why: A properly made pizza will feature cured meat and pickled vegetables, this results in a pizza so salty that if I didn't have at least one gallon of water to wash it down with I would simply die of dehydtation. I'll have my beer before and after the pizza thank you very much.

 

[Sedge]

Pizza, or really anything with a savory melty cheese: IPA, APA (basically anything hoppy for me)

Russian Imperial Stout, Porter, Oatmeal Stouts etc with Cakes, Cookies, Desserts.

And I have to say when I was in London, there was absolutely no substitute for Fish and Chips and a pint of bitter pulled from a cask, or anything pulled from the cask for that matter.

Stout + big slice of dark sourdough bread spread with butter = mini vacation
