Sam Adams ads- pairing beer with food

Quoted message said:

Complete rubbish. If you really want people to think you're a poseur
yuppie who has no sense of originality and buys into every trend..
start "pairing" beer with your meal.

It really is mind-boggling how gullible people can be.

I like hot chicken wings with beer. Is that pairing? :-)

You started a new thread. What the hell are you talking about?

No, but if you have TWO beers it is.

LOL..... but I said "beer" not "a beer".
Actually, I did something today that I hadn't done in a long time. My
brothers and I were cleaning up my mother's condo and slipped out for " a
beer". We each had two :-)

They might be stretching things a bit, but there are wildly different beers
and the foods you would eat them with are also different. You wouldn't eat
the same foods with a pilsner as with a stout or with a fruit lambic. The
range of beers from Sam Adams might be much narrower so that the concept of
pairing them is a little weak.

Most of the food that I grew up eating in New Orleans is meant to be
paired with beer. Seafood boils, po boys, red beans and rice,
jambalaya, etoufee....I can't imagine them without it.

I have never cared much for beer unless I was lolling on a lake in the
middle of August. A cold beer is really good then. I also like beer with
pizza. I never fussed much about what kind of beer it was as long as it
was ice cold.

You and I know that. I always have a variety of beers in my fridge and I
have different beers for different situations, or just for a change. The
vast majority of beer drinkers are loyal to their particular favourite
brand and it is the only beer they drink. They are like consumers
discussed recently in the New Coke debaucle. They were loyal to a
particular brand even though they preferred something else in a blind taste
test.

I was being facetious. He was talking about pairing particular beers with
dishes. The beer aficionados aren't content to just assign one particular
style of beer to a dish. They would recommend a particular brand. More
power to them, but I don't think the average person has the discerning
taste that would make it an issue. There are some of us who like beer, wine
and liquor, and then there are those who select their beverages on what
they can joke down to get drunk without puking.

I like drinking practically all beers, except sweet stout types,
with and without food. Like Michael, I like my beer cold, if not
ice cold certainly colder than British pub practice. Anyway,
I'm not all that fond of British draught beer and that includes
Guinness, tho' I like Guinness Export. I think I'd go along
with very cold for beers like Hefeweizen and Belgian wheat
beers. Budweiser is only worth drinking on a hot day and cold
enough to have ice crystals in it! I mostly drink beer with
sandwiches and highly spiced food, not more subtle things. but I
hardly ever consider the nature of the spicy food when picking
out a beer.

I see what you mean. I'm not THAT discriminating, although I'd drink an
amber with fried things (or just to sit around and drink) and the darks
and stouts for hearty dishes like stews..but that's just me.

Lately all I've been drinking is Beck's Dark.

There is a reason for the British drinking warm beer.... refrigeration by
Lucas. :-)

Beer is like wine. Some of it is made to be drunk warm, actually cool
rather than cold. Most North Americans have become accustomed to having
their beer cold. Let's be honest, most of us just don't have the palate to
distinguish the nuances in the beer at its proper serving temperature.

I have been drinking a lot of Molson Canadian lately because of current
family situation and spending a lot of time with my brothers who drink
Canadian. I have to have some on hand because they don't like the European
beers that I drink. My bridge currently has a few bottles each of Canadian,
Faxe, Holzen, Stella Artois, Heineken and Lowenbrau. I wish I could get
Danish Carlsburg here, but they don't carry it in the beer store or the
liquor store. There is a Canadian version of Carlsburg made under licence.
It is not the same.

My wife is always trying to figure out which wine to serve with spicy food.
She keeps rejecting my suggestion of beer. I can't imagine hot wings
without beer. It would be like a hot dog without a Coke.

No, it would be pairing if you had a special brand or type of beer
that you saved especially for wings.

I am not either. I like good beers and would rather spend the extra money
on imported beers of premium domestic beers than go go for the bland mass
market slop that is designed to be consumed in vast quantities. I usually
have an assortment of about a half dozen different types of beer on hand
which I only consume when we have company and on Saturday nights when I
have my hot wings, and there are a couple of those that I prefer with the
wings, my current favourite being Holzen. Faxe is pretty good with them
too, but not an amber.

Well, I'm partial to Corona with wings myself...heee...;-)

All they sell at the commissary are all the varieties of bud and miller,
plus the light grolsch, corona, becks, st. pauli girl, Sol and Dos
Equis from mexico and a hefeweizen from colorado.

Meh...I'd rather be drinking the stuff (can't remember the name, sorry)
that some friends brought back from a trip to Bavaria...they got it from
a monastery there...the monks only make a very limited amount for sale
every year. That stuff was DIVINE.
