Favorite beer while smoking and/or eating BBQ?

Why does one add lime to Corona? It simply tastes good. I thought it was a little odd to until I tried it. There's actually a trick to do it right.

There's is also a trick to making proper sweet tea. Use a pinch of baking soda to counteract the acidity of the tea leaves.

I like her last line, "That was Lame...".
Can't say I ever saw anybody do that "Infusion".
Drop it, and drink it. When you start chuggin that beer, it'll get infused.
That is, if you are a proper Chugging Charlie. ;)

I saw that Sam. Can't say I have ever known anyone to add a pinch of baking soda.
But it might be worth some to try it.
The stuff I was making Sweet Tea out of was Arizona Unsweetened Tea. Southern Style.
We had gotten it for the Grand Daughter's visit. The wife doesn't drink tea (or coffee, or beer, or alcohol...). So it gave me license to do what I wanted. I like sweet tea.
Walmart here carries Sweet Tea. Although it might not be a Proper sweet tea.... :rolleyes:o_O

I might try green tea.
Oh dear that does not sound good, hope it's not still in there somewhere haha

No. But I think it tickled when it passed. :eek::rolleyes:;)

I didn't even know a lite version even existed...plus I've been doing it wrong all this time, I kinda just squeeze it as I pop it in but whatever tastes good anyway:D

Go to is generally Fat Tire or whatever IPA’s I happen to have on hand. Unless it’s taco Tuesday which calls for Pacifico. Local brewery Lakewood also has some fantasticly hoppy offerings. Lately however, I’ve been enjoying sours. They’re a refreshing change that really wakes up the pallet. Yeah, pretty much whatever’s in the fridge. :-)

the origin of the lime with a carona is to have something to wipe off top of bottle in good old mexico where the bottles would get dusty without proper refrigeration.

Ah I see...a good bit of history. Thanks Gwanger :)

I love a good root beer especially a float on a hot summer night but A&W just doesn't rock my world. Barqs all the way but my wife picked up some Kroger RB and it was strangely good enough, even the family commented on it. Weather has been fairly warm and wife is totally rocking Corona Lite and lime.

I usually sip an Irish whiskey or Highland scotch over a couple of ice cubes.

My wife loves Blue Moon Summer Honey Wheat with an orange squeeze, so that's what I keep stocked in the fridge, year round. We have a mandarin growing area close by. We'll go up there, buy a bunch of cheap mandarins unfit for grocery store sale, peel 'em and freeze the fruit. Tastes as fresh as just peeled when thawed. Works great in the beer too.

When I'm in the mood for a beer, I like something with body. Deschutes Black Butte Porter out of Oregon is one I bought to use in a stew. I took one taste, said screw the stew, and drank the beer instead. Sooo good. It is my go-to favorite now.

I just realized it is brewed in Bend, OR. Case, aka Dirtsailor2003, is from Bend. Probably very familiar with Deschutes.

You never seem to stop taking the wind out of me Ray. You and your wife's drink selection is no exception. You nailed it exactly.

By the way, If you can find 10 Barrel brewery beer (also out of Bend) is where most of the top brewers in the area went- including the brew master of the Black Butte Porter from Deschutes. The Sinister Black Ale is based on Black Bute Porter, but even better! Made by the same brewer under a different label. My most favorite beer ever.

I've been writing all day, except for a small 90 minute nap. Need another break. Have to make a store run if we want dinner tonight. I'll check if Winco carries the Sinister Black Ale. Thanks for the suggestion, Erik!

When I’m cooking BBQ I gravitate towards local IPAs from Trillium or Treehouse. There’s something about drinking beer from a can around a grill or smoker that just feels so right. But when I’m eating BBQ, or most foods actually, I drink sour beers like Cantillon from Belgium, or tart saisons from Hill Farmstead in Vermont. I find these beers pair perfectly with food; the tartness can really cut through the unctuousness of BBQ so well.

Cheers,
Mike

Sprecher's in WI is probably the best there is.

Beer does not come in cans.
Those are micro kegs.

I told a friend on a 48 ounces of liquid per day diet.
I told him, "Perfect! 4 - 12 ounce micro kegs of beer = 48 ounces."
