Boulevard Double Wide IPA & El Centurion is one of many beer & cigar pairings I love.

[LittleG]

Nub Cameroon and Dark Horse Crooked tree IPA is a more memorable one.

[JoeyBear]

Pepin blue and a Ayinger Hefeweizen or an Anejo with a Hoegaarden...one of my favoritest beers. Also, nothing beats an Edge Maduro toro and a Smithwicks or Boddingtons! ibble:

[mhlatke]

Boddington's Pub Ale and any Padron also works well.
(but I could have Boddington's w/cereal, a steak, corn chips - just about anything)

Give the JW Lees or Thomas Hardy's a shot. A little pricey but so worth it. If you like American Barleywines you will love these English Old Ales/Barleywines.

never had a barley wine that ive liked...wayyy to sweet for me. ive not had many and will probably try more in the future...but ive had bad luck so far :mumbles:

Guinness Stout and Illusione 4/2g was pretty good. Generally with the cigars I really like (LFD, Oliva V) a light beer would go better but I hate ligter beers.

If its not Guinness, Michelob Amber Boch or St Pauli Girl Dark I don't drink it.

You definitely seem to be more of a hophead (no worries, me too). What BW's have you tried? I might suggest Victory Old Horizontal or Sierra Nevada Bigfoot (both should available in your area) for ones that might not be overly sweet.

If you get it let it rest for a few months and the alcohol flavor will subside a little and you can really explore the intricate flavors.

Flying dog is pretty good, not one of my favorites. The horn dog is probably not the best BW.
