A Beer and a Meal
-
Speaking of ketchup and steaks (see threads below) I got to thinkin', what is a good beer and meal combination? But as that is general, let's put some restrictions on this. For example, I have had my share of Canadian and American beer and meals (hamburgers and chips, steaks, etc...). So let's restrict this to beers that are non-North American and meals that are non-North American. As I have not been to Australia I will accept Australian suggestions (EXCEPT FOSTERS YOU BUGGERS, NO FOSTERS. FOSTERS IS NOT BEER). So, what is a good beer and meal combination aside from the ones I have listed above? I will need name of beer and country of origin and the meal that goes with it in a language that all can understand - I'm looking at you Aussies. I'm basically looking for some unique and novel suggestions.

LOL :-D Any BELGIAN beer with steak and BELGIAN fries. A BELGIAN beer with 'hutsepot' Any BELGIAN brown beer with rabbit (like Westmalle, Leffe, Chimey, etc...) For good beers I can recommend jupiler as your normal average beer. Other very good (but more heavy ) beers are Leffe blond/bruin/9°, Duvel, Westmalle blond/bruin/triple, Chimey, L'Achouffe, McChouffe, Kasteelbeer blond/bruin, Kwak is quite special if poured in the correct glas ;-). (and can keep going on and on... mmmm beer ... :-> (getting thirsty :cool:)

There arent any. Beer is shit for drinking with food. Wine is for food, beer is for pubs.

:jig: :badger:And beer is absoloute shit for cooking with too. Take the barely palatable, beef and ale pie. If you replace the ale with a nice red wine the pie becomes superb, one of the nicest beef pie dishes one can make. No, beer is for necking in a pub, wine is for supping, and drinking with food.

OK, slight ammendment. The ONLY time beer is OK for cooking is its use in a batter. Use a good, malty, brown beer to make a batter with flour. Dip your fish in and deep fry. Then drink wine while eating it.

:jig: :badger:Well, the English are a mixture of Saxons, Danes and French. I guess I come down on the French side of my heritage on this one. But in the pub, shure, beer it is! pintjes, drei-en-dertigers...

I'm getting thirsty ;P. But one of my favourite is the Karmelite tripple or the Gouden Carolus.

It's got to be sitting in the Schweizerhaus in Vienna with a crispy Stelze on the table, that's a pig's knuckle by the way, are we still allowed to mention pork still ;-)

Yes, yes. Of course. This is a food thread!

You see, it is all wrong. Beef, beer, olive oil, cloves, thyme? What sort of a mess is that? Olive oil and thyme are from the south of france, more suitable to these ingreditnts is a beef daube.[^]. Beef, red wine, olive oil and thyme. And no cloves. If you are going to do a northern version, it should be duck fat or lard, beef, beer, carrots and bay leaves.[^]it should be duck fat or lard, then the cloves,

I've never been much of a beer drinker, but the only combinations that I ever really thought fit were Bass/Steak or [pee-like Mexican beer like Corona]/Pizza. Besides that, I agree with fat_boy in that wine is a much better compliment to food than beer.

I made some beer-battered deep fried jalapeno chips this weekend. I brought them over a friend's house for football, the US kind. My friend's Mom asked what they were and before I could answer my friend piped up saying they were mushrooms (I often bring stuffed mushrooms). Man the look on her face was priceless when she ate that "mushroom" and got a spicey hot jalapeno. :) I washed it all(jalapeno chips, chicken wings, sausage balls, and cajun shrimp) down with a cold brew. :mmmm: can't wait to do it again next Sunday.
