Hmmm... If i find out Maunder is recommending Bud, i'm gonna have to start recommending Foster's to people as a way to get that Authentic Aussie Flavor... :suss:

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.

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?
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.

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.

:shrug: It's probably cleaner than the water in a lot of places. So, i guess that's something.

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

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.

Try a Sancerre with seafood. Would be a waste to use as cooking wine though.

Not directly related to the things you want to cook, but I had some corn on the cob & Bratwurst both prepared over cahrcoal & basted with very strong IPA beer (Arrogant Bastard brand which can be hard to get but is seriously bitter). It was amazing. Good luck.

Cooking with wine and beer means cooking while drinking wine and beer. So, buy the very best beer and wine and start cooking! :laugh:
