Did you know that spicy grilled ribs go best with a pilsner or a Belgian-style dubbel? Or that a bock would complement garlic grilled clams with Caribbean hot sauce? Don’t stop there. Beer isn’t just for the main course: A spicy saison is the perfect counterpart to a spicy shrimp appetizer, a hoppy IPA is ideal with a supersweet cheesecake, and an imperial stout goes beautifully with a rich chocolate cake.

Not sure if this counts, but i love adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream to Young's Double Luxury Chocolate Stout. Thanks for the chance!
This made me recall a teenage/college-age idea in my family. Every summer our family would rent a cottage in Bethany Beach, Delaware for a few weeks. An evening tradition was sitting on the front porch overlooking the beach with mini-Michelobs and fudge from the boardwalk. In our defense, this was the seventies and we were young. Put it in the “Really!? I’d have to try it to believe it, but I’m not sure that I want to.” category, tho we did use to joke about starting a beer and fudge shop on the boardwalk.
Nowadays I'm boring. I love a Rogue Dead Guy with my burger.
We had a whole party around adult root beer floats. We used a home brewed espresso stout and vanilla ice cream. It was a huge hit!
I'll go for an Oktoberfest with a spicy bowl of Chili - yum!
My favorite: fried calamari tentacles served with spicy tartar sauce, and a Red Hook ESB to drink.
I guess this is all wrapped into one item, but I loove beer battered cod or haddock -anything light and flaky paired with a flavorful, but light to medium bodied beer like BBC Steel Rail. Of course save a beer to enjoy when your fish is ready and serve it up with some homemade tartar sauce!!
Mac and Jacks African Amber is by far my favorite -- paired with a juicey burger, makes for a great night out!
At home, my husband's amazing homebrew -- he makes a mean beer! Along with a Mexican inspired meal featuring some nice spice. A great nice in!
