Pairing with smoked salmon?

premium

I’m thinking a good smoke beer would make sense. Any others?

Lindemans Gueuze Cuvée René

gose

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock

i reckon a weisse beer would give something forit to riff off of

Cantillon kriek

It your salmon is from fish farm with high fat ratio go with a smoked beer. It pairs nice and cuts the grease.
For wild caught , good quality salmon , I would pair with a kriek.

Aventinus.

Certainly would not have thought the OP would have gotten the responses that he did. If anything, sour and smoked beers would obscure the delicate smoked characteristics of the salmon. Personally, I’d go with a malt forward lager like a Munich Helles, Dortmunder, or even a bock. Kolsch or altbier could work as well (even though they’re not true lagers), but they might even be too bitter for the fish.

Michael Jackson would agree. He loved Alaskan Smoked Porter with smoked fish.
