Beer and Cigars?

[mpieniaz]

What styles of beer do you guys pair with different strength cigars? I love full-bodied cigars and I have found Pale Ales and IPAs can complement them well because of the hops. What do you guys drink with different cigars?

mmmmmmmmm, beer

This goes down well with everything but is better with a full-bodied smoke.

GREAT CALL!! I love Guiness and it goes great with cigars.:grin:

 

[blessednxs65]

Pilsner is my beer of choice with Medium to Full bodied smokes.

This beer uses American White Oak as used in a lot of malt whisky barrels so both have that vanilla taste that i also find goes great with most cigars. I love most Belgian dubbels with cigars as well especially Westmalle but Leffe Bruin is cheapish here and so is Artois Bock so usually they suffice.

I have never had a beer that took away from my cigar experence, I drink diffrent beers thru out the year. Just keep drinking as much as you can while smoking as many cigars as you can and keep a track of your notes.

Guinness, Murphy's Irish Stout or Beamish for fall/winter.

Corona and lime for spring/summer.

Innis and Gunn is fabulous beer, but in the US it's impossible to find outside of the NYC area. I have one bottle left and I can't bring myself to drink it.

 

[derfatdutchman]

Beer and cigars one of my all time favorite combo's. There are several beers I think go well with the fuller body cigars. My personal favorite is one of my home brews, a nice brown porter, a full bodied bitter match up well. On a more regional level Yuengling's (for everone out side of PA its pronounced ying-ling) their Lager, Black & Tan and Porter. Several of Sam Adams regular and seasonal beers also pair up well with cigars.

All this thinking about beer has got me thirsty and its far from quitting time dammit!

A Coors light and a Phillie Blunt worked well back in the day. :smokingbo That is of course if the phillie didn't get disembowled for other purposes

TAZ now holds the rcord for the longest post top to bottom

 

[njsarge]

I like an ice cold Heineken with almost any cigar. I also tried a beer called Pilsner Urquell from the Czech republic. It does have a little bitter aftertaste to it but it went well with AF Sungrown cuban belicoso.

 

[smokem94]

I really like the Urquell...but then again, I'm part Slovak!

 

[Halon]

I like New Castle Brown Ale. New Belgium's Sunshine, their wheat beer, is also one of my favorites.
Mostly I like mojitos and white russians.
