Best beer to go with a steak

[chiwanna]

I know that plenty of people prefer wine but if you had to drink a beer with a steak, what beer would it be?

 

[YChang]

I think the same principles apply as wine in terms of food pairing.

So something bold like an ale to go with red meat/steak.

One site's opinion

Seriously, though, for me it's something heavier, form an amber ale to a bock.

"Steak and Lowenbrau"

let's see if the kids get his one...

 

[CottonEyedHorn]

I like a good Pale Ale.

 

[THEU]

It would honestly depend on how the steak is prepared.

I am probably going to say Guinness here though.

 

[4Horns]

Bass Ale on draft.

 

[LITNIN HORN]

Ice cold, premium, non-domestic.

 

[Dogbert]

Live Oak Big Bark.

 

[HoosierHorn]

other than "free"?

BandGuy...three of those selections are just wrong...as is the screen in the background.

Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss is an underrated beer!

Leffe Brune

Leffe Brune is a great choice. I also like Bernardus Abt. 12 with a steak.

 

[uisge beatha]

Guinness, Anchor Porter, New Belgium 1554 or Trippel, Independence Bootleggers Ale, St Arnolds Spring Bock or Winter Stout.

 

[general35]

negra modello does go very well with steak.

The best beer to go with anything is whatever you have

Bud works for me.

DC--

Of all the Belgian beers I've had, Leffe Brune is still my favorite. And that's saying something because I love many, many Belgian beers.

But I can't find it anywhere in Austin. A couple of months ago, some cruel person told me they had it at Flying Saucer. I went to Flying Saucer. They didn't have it. I was crushed.

I used to see it every now and then at Central Market or Grapevine Market, but the distributor that was importing it decided to stop.

You can find the Leffe Blonde everywhere, but for some reason Leffe Brune is hard to come by in this town.

My vote is for St. Paul Double Abbey Ale

 

[LITNIN HORN]

UTEE...have you tried 'Whip In' @ Oltorf and IH35?

 

[DCLonghorn]

UTEE, I've only seen Leffe Brune at a Belgian Restaurant and Whole Foods here in Northern Virginia. I've seen Leffe Blond at my local grocery, which is beginning to sell more imported Belgian and German Beers. Maybe its the time of year?

I'm having a difficult time finding Fantome Saison?
