I just don't like the combination. Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 28/01/2010 03:17:01 PM
Not at home, but in restaurants and all - heavier or stronger-tasting beers wouldn't go very well with food, but in summer if you're sitting outside in a restaurant having lunch or so, Hoegaarden and other whitbeers (witbeers? witbier? white beers? whichever ;) ) are perfectly suitable imho.


It's too fruity-sweet/spicy for my liking to go with food. I'm weird about flavor combinations though. I'm aware that it's completely irrational (because I have no problem drinking wine with savory foods, but then I don't drink sweet wines either), but there you have it :D I prefer the less sweet beers with food.

Witbier I guess? But if you don't know, there's really no chance for the rest of us :P
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

You'll just have to visit the beer country and drink them locally. Legolas - 28/01/2010 10:10:10 PM 1160 Views
