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.
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.

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.

What are you some kind of bloody wine snob? Admit it, you work as a gay sommelier, don't you!

Okay, much better. That's more what I'm looking for.

: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...

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:)

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.

Whenever I visit Cologne, Germany, I make sure get one Haxen mit Suerekappes und Kartoffeln* and multiple Koelsch, the local brew. Oh, man is that tasty. :cool: *Grilled Pig's Feet, Sour Kraut, and mashed potatoes

Some beer in a 'Pâte à Crêpes'[^] tastes not that bad.
