Tacos and Beer

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:26:58 EST

Posted by Pipper

I’m sure this has been brought up before but what’s your favorite beer with tacos. I recently polished off some awesome hard tacos with a bottle of Ambar CaesarAugusta (CaesarAvgvsta) and was pleasantly surprised. I also like DIPAs with em but I feel like sometimes they’re too dry on the palate to be refreshing enough with super spicy food. Thoughts? Pipper

Beer and Pranut Butter

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:26:58 EST

Posted by michael-pollack

I love drinking beer and eating peanut butter. It can be peanut butter candy, PB ice cream, or just spoonfuls of PB. It seems to go amazingly with every style.

Pizza

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:26:58 EST

Posted by SoLan

I have some smoked anchovies and crab claw meat for a pizza tonight. Red sauce or white sauce? Other likely toppings include chile (fresh and/or dried), onion, garlic. Beer to pair? It really depends on the sauce I suppose, red will stand up better to a more aggressive beer and the white would require something more mild. Thoughts?

Moody Blue cheese, from Wisconsin

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:26:58 EST

Posted by Schroppfy

I had this (apparently) small-batch cheese from WI last night, just a small sample. My wife and I were BLOWN away. A little web research indicates it was or is available at Whole Foods. Also, cheese descriptions flip me out. Anyone who says this cheese is smooth or subtle in any way should be shot. This is a full-out assault blue, not merely salty, but full of all sorts of great, earthy flavors. Most interestingly to me and the wife was the palate - this cheese was positively granular; you could feel the rawness, the aliveness of the cheese. As I said, I was totally blown away. I haven’t seen an on-line source, but my credit card is ready. I would have liked a really sweet beer accompaniment - maybe one of the better bourbon-barrel aged stouts or barleywines. Last night with our cheese plate we vacillated between Lagavulin and a nice French red wine blend. http://www.thedailypage.com/daily/article.php?article=26281#at

Thanksgiving sans decent beer

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:26:58 EST

Posted by bhensonb

At the relatives. Do this every year. There will be MGD and Becks. I’ve taken decent bottle conditioned ales. The unopened ones I’ve had to leave behind, cause it’s not polite to take back. One shivers at their fate. Several have suggested it’s not polite to bring snobby beer. I PMFH chardonnay, so I’m going to take good cab, and I’m going to leave none behind.

I was reading about bread last night, and barm was often used as a leavening agent before cultured yeasts were available. I’ve never done it myself and was just curious if anyone else had used it.

Favorite Foods As A Kid ?

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:26:58 EST

Posted by Cobra

(Mods note: I placed this here so the non-premium members can post as well. Thanks.) What were your favorite foods as a kid? I remember Beanee Weenee most fondly. Along with Oscar Mayer Weiners, and a Moon Pie for dessert. RC Cola was my fave, until I got ahold of Coca Cola, which I still drink to this day. Anyone else have some favorite foods when they were kids?
