Beer

Soggy Bottom Outdoors · Apr 16, 2016

I'm not really a beer drinker. I rarely drink beer for the sake of drinking beer. Yet I do enjoy it with supper in place of a soft drink, sweet tea, coffee etc. I have become partial to Shiner Bock from the good folks in Texas. My question is; is there something out there similiar in flavor/taste that I could try? Second question; What are different beers that go with different foods,ie pizza, fish, beef, pork BBQ. Yeah, I know I could look all this up on line but I'd like to converse with some one on it.

Something brewed to the Bavarian Brewing Standard, Reinheitsgebot is usually a better beer.

You can get a million opinions on this but a few years ago I was in UK, expected the local beers to be very popular but found that most people were drinking Stella Artois. As someone who like lagers, I found it to be very good, especially on draft. For a domestic, I'm currently liking New Belgium Fat Tire (out of Colorado).

I can't stand the taste of any of it all tastes like crap to me and I've tried all kinds from bud to the designer stuff.

There is food in beer, but there is no beer in food!

Sam Adams is good beer.! Goes with anything, or just by it's self ;-)

American lagers are very similar to Czech pilsners in drinkability and taste. Serve them cold.

Then why did you click on a link titled beer?

Sorry, but I had to ask.

I love a good beer, and hate any kind of coffee, so clicking on thr link was natural for me, but for that reason, under no circumstances would I ever click on a link titled "Coffee".

To the OP, I don't care for the current super bitter "hop-forward" beers, I like to drink something that doesn't make me pull a face like the old Keystone beer commercials, so I have been drinking "Eye of the Hawk", a really mellow ale from Mendicino Brewery out of Saratoga Springs, NY.

I also like the Troeg Brewery's "Troeginitor" also a very mellow Duppel (or Double) Bock beer.

Slow night and someone may have had a suggestion for another option to try I said I hadn't found anything I could drink yet but I'm still open minded.

Thanks for the positive responses and suggestions folks. Being in rural KY my "selection" is somewhat limited. But I have seen the "Stella" label as well as Belgian Fat Tire. May give it a try.
