Bud Light
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

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 (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. :-)

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.

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

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?
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:

Unfortunately he doesn't, that's why we exported him to Canada.

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.

Carlton United Breweries. Fosters was actually quite good up until early 1989 when they decided on a recipe change, been shit ever since.

that a product is marketed doesn't necessarily mean the product itself is crap.

The rule of thumb for cooking with anything is that you should start with ingredients that are good on their own, i.e. don't go and buy the cheapest bottle of wine or beer in the store, get something you like the taste of. Beers are good for braises (i.e. pork shoulder "boston butt" roast). Wine and rice most definitely do not go together in the sense of "wine flavored" rice, however if you are actually making a dish of some kind with other ingredients then consider a risotto (white wine). Beer soup sounds nasty to me (like an excuse to put beer into something for no useful purpose) but of course it depends on the other ingredients.

Yeah, but in this case it is a truck load of crap.
