Heh. :) And the funniest part of it is, they've gotten worse... (that said, Wed. 3 for a $ Leinie's were a pretty solid part of my week not too many years ago. That and $.10 hot wings... :-O )

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

Beer -> Bud Light
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.

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.

So what do you consider quality beer
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...

Well as long as it's refrigerated it usually goes down ok either way...:~

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.

and i really wanted to like it - those "it's Australian for beer" commercials made me think it would be at least OK. i didn't think the Fosters company would slander a whole country like like that.

I guess I don't run into that too often :-O. The only time I would have been tempted to do that recently was at the ACL fest and 108F in an open field with 60,000 people pretty much ensured that I was slugging down water as fast as I could get it. Beer would have killed me. I definitely could have had bud if it hadn't been obscenely hot.

As far as cooking with beer...This story takes place back when it use to drink. You know when you are cooking a omelet and you can put some milk in it to make it a little more fluff. Well I got hammered one night and while somehow making scrambled eggs I pour a little beer into the eggs to fluff them up. They said after I ate the eggs, they had never seen someone vomit as much as I was. The bad part is I lived in a two story apartment, mine was on the second floor. So when I started to vomit, I was able to make it to the balcony:doh: but the people's lawn stuff below my apartment had to be washed off and I killed some of their grass. X| X| X| To answer your question... I use to drink Coors Light and Shiner Bock. No wine but a lot of whiskey.-don't cook with that.:wtf:

Good Lord, Nish! I'm a confirmed Bud drinker, but even I won't touch that nasty stuff! X| It's every bit as awful as any product made by Coors, and I wouldn't pour Coors on a potted plant I don't like.

Chardonnay
That's the worst wine I can think of for cooking, unless you're making a hot fruit salad. A nice Merlot or Burgundy goes very well in beef dishes. Use a Chenin Blanc or decent Chablis for fish or fowl. I'm especially fond of using Merlot to deglaze the pot after cooking a roast; add a few mushrooms and thicken with arrowroot or a dark flour roux and you have a gravy you can make sandwiches of by itself!:-D

Bud (US version) is probably better for cooking than for drinking, but it won't give you a strong beer taste.
