I usually go for mushrooms and earthiness with fried rice, though some green garlic instead of scallions would be a good variation. I've also had some with pineapple that was surprisingly tasty. Though the best stuff usually results from clearing out the fridge after a few beers. Maybe that's what the recipe is all about. Finish off a bottle of sake and then throw together some fried rice.

The cold Canadian weather has erased most of his natural Aussie good taste for beer. :-)

Heh. :) Killians is a bit flat tasting, but isn't too bad if you let it warm up a bit. Bud Select is ok, but it's the sort of ok that i'm used to paying bottom-dollar for - like this stuff[^] (City Brewery is the former Heilmans Old Style brewery, from back when Heilmans was still Heilmans...)

I always get a kick out of walking down the beer aisle in the local fancy supermarket and seeing leinie specialty beers back when I was growing up that was always the lowest of the low. PBR was a step up from that.

Anything i can drink without feeling sick and malnourished after the first few bottles. There should be flavor of some sort, body, and a good healthy scent. As a rule of thumb, if it smells about the same leaving as it did entering, it wasn't worth drinking...

Give yourself a few years. That's the stuff high school kids sneak before they develop a taste for beer. It's basically the step right after wine coolers which I suppose have all been replaced with all that lemonade crap these days.

Good to know. I haven't even been tempted to try it. I'll definitely stay away now.

Along with half my extended family. It's just part of living up there. The only state with more bars then churches. :)

Uhm, I grew up in Trivandrum, India and the beer you get in South India can be the hardest and most bitter you could get anywhere in the world :-) I don't think I need any sort of taste-development in beer. It's just that I don't really like the beer I've tried in the States. I usually prefer single malt Scotch, Martinis and other Vodka based cocktails, and nowadays I have been enjoying white wines too. But beer is still something I submit to as an absolute last resort (if nothing else is available). And among all the beers I tried here, Bud Light has had the smoothest taste. Of course it probably is not very strong, but if I want to get drunk fast I'd probably go for hard liquor.

I want to experiment with preparing Beer curry soup and want to cook Wine Flavored Fried Rice. As my knowledge of beer and Wine is close to nothing. I throw this question to CPians who are expert in beer and wine. What kind of beer (brand) will make a good beer soup? (As per Shog, I should use Killians but other suggestions are also welcome) What kind of wine will be good for flavoring fried rice?

Wine Flavored Fried Rice
:confused: white wine is definitely encouraged when making risotto, because the acid and fruit match up well with the creamy, buttery and cheesy parts. but i don't know about frying rice with it. wine is going to add acid (sour) and fruit flavors, which don't really seem like what i'd want in a fried rice. though, i have seen people squeeze lemon onto their fried rice - which is pretty much the taste of cooked wine. so maybe i'm just wrong :) but, if you want to try it, something like a pinot gris/grigio or sauvignon blanc would be best - avoid chardonnay, since it's usually over-oaked. curry + beer... yeah, Killians sounds about right - not too strongs, not too weak, rich but not too bitter. stay away from light beers (too weak), also avoid things like India Pale Ales (too bitter) and the very dark beers (stouts, porters, etc - they'd overpower everything else). IMO, of course. the only way to know for sure is to try.

Yeah, I wouldn't drink wine or beer for that, but then again I usually drink because I like the taste not to get drunk. Though tanqueray and tonic will take care of that pretty quick. Bud Light definitely has the least taste of any beer out there. You'd probably like Shiner Bock. It's got a nice simple flavor not really bitter and not really sweet. I'd have to say it's the smoothest beer out there for me. It's what I order when I go out to a show or something like that.

I've seen some Japanese restaurants where Vodka is used in preparing meat :-) I bet they add other types of alcohol too.

oh yeah. marinating meat in sherry or port-based marinades is awesome - bourbon, too. i've never had a vodka marinade, but it sounds good. vodka goes good in tomato sauce, too.

bud light is good if you know you're going to be drinking all day. the lack of flavor means you don't get sick of it quickly. it's the only time i'll buy it.
