Favorite Beer and Food Pairings

Speaking of steaks, Revolution brewpub has a fantastic smoked steak that pairs nicely with their porter.

I heard that Rev's brewpub has some excellent food. I really need to check it out

I think mine is a smooth, hearty Rye IPA with a Vermont aged cheddar. Perfection to me. What are your favorite pairing(s)?

Currently enjoying a Ruthless Rye from Sierra, along with some aged Gouda. I'm of the opinion that beer and cheese make a better pairing than wine and cheese.

a nice stout/porter with blue cheese and crackers is always good, or an IPA and a BBQ pulled pork sandwich

I recently had a Green Flash/Cigar City Candella cedar aged barley wine with a cheese trio plate (bleu, cows milk, I forget the third). Main course Emilese Rauchbier alongside seared duck breast with lindemans peche lambic and apricot reduction, served with braised fennel, and black eyed pea risotto. It took my appreciation of beer/food pairings to a new level.

FBS and, uh, breakfast.

Any style beer and pizza

Did somebody say FBS and Breakfast?

also when i went to nyc craft beer festival they had a beer and cheese pairing seminar and this is what i had from murray's cheese along with the beer

Kentucky or Canadian Breakfast Stout with creme brûlée.

I really love pairing a nice 2-4 year old Gouda with a barley wine like SN Bigfoot and FSW Sucaba. I also like to pair a really sharp white cheddar with a roasty Imperial Stout!

I had CBS on tap for breakfast with french toast that was pretty good.

I refuse to pair anything with Vermont cheddar until Vermont apologises for its cheese.

CCB Jai Alai goes great with spicy dishes, just as it suggests on the back of the can. I just had one with some spicy homemade tacos the other night and the combination was perfect:

I've been setting up tasting dinners for some friends every few weeks which has been a blast. This was the first I did at home with just my fiance and I and unfortunately the only one I got pictures of. The Triple with the Balsamic Chicken Salad was pretty awesome.

I'm with ya'll...pizza & almost any cotton pickin' beer is heaven.

Green chile and IPA
