The Best Food With Beer
 

So im throwing a party this weekend and the bbq, nachos and fried chicken are getting old... how about some ideas for food.. what do you guys suggest that goes best with beer?

Depends on the beer. But meat goes well.

well mostly regular beers nothing too heavy, say miller or bud, or some of our national beers wich are very soft... as i said meat is what i most of the time give to my guests, would like something new

can't go wrong with pizza and wings if you are talking American beer.. or brats and burgers are great with dark beers

Golden or blonde ale, American wheat ale, lightly hopped lagers. Since these beers lack both maltiness and hoppiness, they work best as thirst-quenchers. Try them with super-hot food, such as blackened redfish. Once your tongue has been assaulted with hot spices, it will no longer be able to appreciate an intricately flavored beer, anyway.

Weissbier, dunkelweiss. You want to be able to enjoy the flavors of the yeast, so stick with delicate foods, such as a delicate soup or pasta or light cheeses. These beers also work well with lightly flavored vegetarian dishes, such as grilled vegetables, or light chicken dishes.

Amber ale. A good all-around beer for any food that isn't sweet -- something sweet will detract from the maltiness in the beer. It complements sandwiches, hearty soups and pizzas. Also a good thirst-quencher for barbecue or Mexican food.

Bitter, pale ale, India pale ale, German/Bohemian pilsners. While hops can kill your tastebuds when paired with many foods, they do make for some particularly good matches -- fried seafood, for example, because hoppiness cuts through grease, or anything with vinegar as a main ingredient. They also complement smoked, boiled, steamed or broiled seafood. And they can enhance the spiciness of highly spiced cuisine. The fruitier pale ales also will complement lamb, beef and game, or try them with liver paté.

English or American brown ale. Hamburgers and sausages are hearty enough for either kind of ale. The English brown may match nicely with smoked fish, while game dishes can stand up to the hoppiness of the American brown.

Nice post!! Gonna cut and paste in doc, print, and post on my fridge lol. I'll need to verify your conclusions.

I just ate about a pound of lasagna made with buffalo sauce meatballs, and a few Hoegaarden beers... And it was fucking fantastic...

by brats you mean sausages right?

Beer Brats (Bratwurst)

Buffalo chicken dip for an appetizer... Start with a layer of cream cheese on bottom of a casserole dish. Shred a whole chicken - easiest is to use one of the premade rotisserie chickens they sell at the grocery store. Mix chicken with a bottle of Franks Red Hot sauce then layer into dish. Mix another package of cream cheese with a bunch of blue cheese dressing then layer that into the dish. Top with some shredded cheese - jack works well. Add blue cheese crumbles on top and bake till bubbly golden brown. Fritos scoops go great for the dipping. Enjoy with your beer of choice! Nice and easy, and always a crowd pleaser. :)

Plan ahead.... call Taco Bell and arrange for 2000 tacos to be delivered, Your party will never be forgotten.

1000 crunchy
1000 soft


That is all my friends...Stay Thirtsty.

This might sound a little plain but we do it every year at our super bowl party and it is a huge hit. Buy a bunch of sliced lunch meat and cheeses then get yourself a bunch of rolls and some condiments. let everyone make their own sandwiches. Throw out some chips and some dips and you have something yummy and very easy to make.

Don't forget your veggies.

Cold cuts and veggies sure as heck go well with beer, as well as Ribs wings and pizza.

after a few beers you give two shits about what beer goes with which food

The best food to go with a beer is another beer.

For me nothing goes better with beer than Indian Curry. I so miss a good curry, never found a good one in the USA:Oh crap

Dortmunder or Kingfishers are great beers with curry

This is why kebab shops exist.
