Great food for great Home Brews

Postby Anzac Cookies » Saturday Sep 16, 2006 9:47 pm

I had a quick look in the past forums for any food ideas that go with certain HBs. I personally love food and grog and thought that it might be an idea for a food recipe section aswell as grog. :wink:

I love a BBQ with a nice T-bone (Medium)..... :D Especially with my Coopers Sparkling Ale HB, gets better with age.

No salad please, it fills me up :lol:

I went to a "Beer appreciation Night" :wink: ...I'm serious, where they matched the food to the beer.

The beers were all Belgian, and fair dinkum, they really did match them up well.

The only one that did not go, was the Steak with the dark beer.....will try and locate the original flyer from the night.

For Newcastle people, it was at the Silo in town, near the Crown.

Whatever you do, do not drive. 8%+ :shock: Knock your socks off

A kebab goes well after any beers, as long as there was lots of 'em.

Any Red Dwarf fans out there remember that scene from "only the good" (series 8) where Lister and Rimmer drink Baxter's hooch?

Ackerman: You're drunk.

Lister: Me, no sir

Rimmer: Absolultley not sir

Ackerman: Right, who fancies a kebeb?

- lister and rimmer eagerly raise their hands -

Lister: Smeg, he's got us.

Ackerman: Let the hospital know we'll be needing two stomach pumps, ... Super Suck.

lethal, where can you get a "good old aussie meat pie' these days? Bear in mind I'm 120km or thereabouts west of Brisbane.

Used to be a pie fancier, but went off them for a few years as they seemed to be losing their appeal. Have done a few work trips in "the sticks" in recent months, and tried the odd pie. Very odd indeed!

Noticed that gristle content appears to have increased, whilst at the same time pastry quality has deteriorated.

Perhaps it is just me, but I have been thoroughly disappointed with the meat pies I have tasted this year.

You know whats strange? On my last trip to the land of the long white cloud, i was surprised to see and taste plenty of top quality pies made by our cousins. Needless to say in two weeks many were consumed. You can still get a good one round my way tho.

If you travel to Newcastle the ex-steel city, drop into Charlestown (On pacific hwy) and go to Hugheys Pies. They have received Gold, Silver and Bronze awards. I work near there and they are fantastic. Recommend the Works, they weigh a tonne and are a meal in itself :D

Vili's Pies are great. Nice rich gravy, flaky pastry and tasty filling. They do normal beef pies, as well as "gourmet" such as goulash and chicken (they're two pies, not "goulash chicken!).

Everyone in Melbourne raves about Keith's Pies in Burnley Street, Richmond (near the corner of Crown Street, the former home of Mountain Goat brewery). Haven't tried Keith's offerings myself, but must do soon.

Cheers,

You always can easily make your own pies, they are not that hard, when you have leftover Irish Stout Casserole, make some pies, goes well with HB beers ;)

Pies made yourself are EASILY the best. Especially with some HB in them.

Definately, i make wicked Stout Carbonade Pies (individual in their own ramekin), take 6 x 375ml bottles of stout (only one goes into the pies, the rest goes into the cook).

The kind of meat pie with the cow's eyelids and the bull's genitals? That's gotta go well with a pale ale!
Life's not all beer and skittles. Just beer.

god blimey, there's more to food than just pies.

chicken parm and a stout goes alright. they have no right to go well together, but they do.

beef and hoiken noodle stir-fry (not spicy) with a lightly hopped ale is always good too.

Blandy, just noticed the Red Dwarf reference and that bit was hilarious! :D

Domino's Pizza and Coopers Pale Ale is a big part of my diet. They go together well.

Stout seems to go with alot of food for some reason! Not sure why. With Thai it has to be lager though!
