What Beer do you eat food with?

[Cinaet]

A dark ale of almost any brand if I can get it. It's almost like having another meal. It's one of the 5 food groups. Ale, chili, gumbo, boudin po boys, and any Mexican food.

This goes good with homemade tacos and pretty good with Oreos while cleaning guns and watching UFC.

Good Wisconsin beer right there.

PBR is my go to beer. I enjoy any trappist beer too though when I feel like spending some $$$

Snowshoe Brewery Snoweizen wheat or Apricot wheat ale or Sierra Nevada pale ale. Snowshoe's microbrewery is just down the road from my other place up in northern California. (Somehow they both make it home with me when I come back from Cali...).

Coors regular, Guiness. Like it ice cold and in a glass.

I do like Lonestar.

However, I've found that if I'm going to drink a beer while I'm eating a meal I almost always go with Stella Artois.

If I'm at your average sit-down family restaurant (Chili's, for example), this is my beer pairing most of the time. It's light enough to not fill me up yet flavorful enough to remind me I'm still drinking a beer.

While I think Guinness is overrated, it's still a good beer. However, I don't see how people can pair it with food. It's such a heavy beer, I much prefer to drink it by itself in a bar rather than a restaurant. Maybe coupled with some bar appetizers, if anything.

Mexican food: Negra Modelo if they have it, Dos Equis Amber if they don't.

Cookouts/bbqs/etc: Miller Lite or even High Life. A Mustang Golden Ale or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale if I can get to the liquor store, but most of the time I don't plan that well ahead. Just like pairing Guinness with food, I don't like to pair a heavy beer with hot, outside weather. A good, light, refreshing beer is perfect for those meals out in the hot sun, they quench your thirst while not weighing you down.

Chinese food: Stella or Miller Lite.

Pizza: Stella, Miller Lite, or a Mustang Pale Ale.

Hot Wings: Again, Stella, Miller Lite, or a Mustang Pale Ale. Nothing too heavy.

My first ever beer pairing was Lowenbrau with a Ribeye ... Wow! did I just date myself or what?

Sushi: Sapporo

Burgers: Fat Tire or Moose Drool

Steak: Czechvar

Mexican: Modelo

Pizza: Bud Light or Bud Select

Guinness is only worth drinking if it's draft.
Last time I had one was at Red Robin, it was perfect with the burger and fries.

+1 to Stella Artois though. It's great for everything.

If I'm having Sushi I prefer a tall Sapporo or a light wheat beer. Failing that just get me a ginger ale.
If I were to bring home a top-cut of steak, I'd want a great beer to go with it. Not just from a taste perspective, I mean from a like-with-like perspective. So we're talking StB Tripel, maybe a real Trappiste triple, or Ayinger Celebrator.
