Alcohol in the news; foods to drink with beer

From the Buzz

The best foods to drink with a brewski

Beer is a drink that could, and should, be used on many different occasions. Varieties of beer differ on a number of levels such as bitterness, alcohol by volume and ingredients included. With flavors that vary on such wide ranges, beers and food should be paired in ways that complement each other.

Starts out nice.

One way to do this is by matching beer and food by their country of origin.

Also good...

Try pairing a Corona or a Dos Equis with some chips and salsa, or a Pacifico with some tacos. The slightly watery taste of the Corona and Dos Equis won’t overpower the spiciness of your choice of Mexican food, and the Pacifico’s smooth taste makes it easy to enjoy many in a single sitting. A lime wedge is popular with all three of these beers.

uh...

For the distinct flavor and aroma of a Guinness, the famous Irish beer, some sausages would go perfectly.

um...

Beck’s, perhaps the most popular German beer in the U.S., is a dark beer with a strong flavor. Try a bratwurst with sauerkraut to go with the dry and slightly skunky taste of a Beck’s beer. Also meshing well with German beer is a giant pretzel; salty foods work well with almost all beers.

well...

Of course, there is always the sports bar food that goes fantastically with some good American beers. A Sam Adams, Coors or bottle of Busch pair well with a juicy cheeseburger, buffalo wings or heaping plate of nachos. A Chicago style hotdog seems appropriate to be paired with a Miller Lite or Old Style, the sponsored beers of the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Cubs, respectively.

It's basically an article pairing food with crappy beer. The only beer mentioned in the article that is even interesting is Sam Adams.

But, it's the buzz; so what do you expect, a quality article?
