Great beers to go with cigars

[DoctaJ]

Love me some Dogfish 90 Minute when smoking when I have it around. I also was just recently introduced to the Stone line of beers...some great IPA's as well!

If you are looking for a GREAT stout to go with a maduro, look no further than Dogfish Palo Santo Marron (Palo Santo Marron - Dogfish Head Craft Brewery - BeerAdvocate). It is a little pricey but man o' man, what a great beer. It also packs quite a kick at 12% ABV. It has a great chocalate flavor to it though that will compliment most maduro cigars perfectly (especially a CAO Brazilia).

gah what beer doesn't go great with a cigar? I pair the flavor profile of the stick with the beer. Heavy, full-bodied sticks get paired with heavy, dark beers. Mild-bodied sticks go with crisp, refreshing beer.

In the darker beers I enjoy milk-stouts such as left-hand's milk stout. I also like Old Peculier, Hobgoblin, Chimay, theres so many! Of the lighter beers I prefer heffeweizen or wheat beers. Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier, Tucher, etc. Anchor Steam beer is pretty crisp and refreshing, as well as alot of pale ales (sierra nevada).
I've found that some pale ales don't go well with cigars though..too much citrusy "bite" with them, kills my taste buds for the smoke.
Either way, if I'm enjoying a fine cigar, theres a 95% chance there's a beer in my other hand.

The best beer site I've found hands down is http://www.beeradvocate.com check it out.

As for my other favs......

Fat Tire by New Belgium
Magic Hat #9
And of course Miller Lite! :-)

actually living in NY Im not able to get Bells anywhere in the area but when Im in PA or FL I try to pick up a few six packs. the first time I tried the expedition stout it was like a smack in the face, a seriously full bodied beer, absolutely delicious!

Dsturg369 thanks for the link I havent run across that site yet.

I use beeradvocate and ratetbeer alot.

But I am impressed with the entire line of Stone, Bells and Alesmith beers, some great stuff!

I would love to include some Alesmith in my list but its very hard to come by in the states Ive been in recently. I have a bottle of Alesmith holiday ale but thats the only one ive found. I would love to get my hands on a bottle of the speedway stout. I hear thats fantastic. I have a trip to north carolina coming up and Im hoping to find some there but who knows. might just be available in Cali-forn-ia where its made.

There are so many beers that go well...
But if I have to chose one, Yuengling Traditional Lager

[DSturg369]

The only beer I really, REALLY like is a mirco-brew that I no longer have access to....

Black Butte Porter

Only available to the Pacific Northwest locals (lucky bastids! ).

I'd trade every Opus I own for a case.

Don't find that IPA's compliment a cigar that well, so I usually go with a stout or something malty rather than hoppy. Here are some of my favorites:

Boréale Noire
St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout
Fuller's London Porter
Rogue Hazelnut
Ayinger Celebrator

It isn't too sweet with such a high ABV?

Thanks Joe!!

my favorite beer to go with a cigar is a micro brewery from near my home town in ontario, Canada, called Neustadt 10W30, best beer ever, its a nice malty grain premium dark ale, and has one a bunch of awards too

[piperdown]

Breckenridge Vanilla Porter goes nicely with a sweeter maduro wrapper.
I like Boulevard pale ale for most others. If the cigar is really spicy a nice IPA isn't too bad but it's got to be a really spicy cigar.

yuengling and heineken goes good with my sticks

[louistogie]

Great post!
