Favorite Pairings Part I: Beers

[jesto68]

This week I had Atwater Block Vanilla Java Porter, and it went well with a Padron '64 on Saturday and a Padilla '32 on Sunday.

I can't wait to try it this week with some of my other favorite sticks,

[Giovanni]

Growler of Ipswitch Ale and a Partaga Black Crystal.

[JMAC]

Most Recent: Heavy Seas "Peg Leg" Imperial Stout with a Gran Habano #5 Gran Robusto. Very good.

However for me in general: any beer + any cigar = good

I hope you guys realize I'm writing these down to try myself sometime.

monte classic toro & corona w/ lime.. good summer comb imo..

[JRedner]

Hitachino Nest Japanese Classic with almost any cigar.

Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 with a Jolly Pumpkin Luciernaga (Firefly) saison is very nice. Spicy saisons in general tend to go well with most cigars. Saison Dupont is probably the most widely available saison style beer.

I have to mention another pairing...one that made me incredibly happy on Tuesday night...for a couple of reasons...mainly the New York Yankees destroying the Minnesota Twins 8-0...
In celebration of that victory, I drank many a beer during the game, smoked a Tatuaje Cab Unica and a Perdomo ESV Maduro Aristocrata...however, the pairing came after I got home (thankfully my brother and his buddy gave me a ride home...no DUI please) anyhow, after getting home and skyping with CigarNation, I decided to try a new beer that I have never had before...

I drank a Boulder Creek Hazed and Infuzed dry-hop ale while smoking a 2006 RyJ Cedros #2....it has been one of the most enjoyable beer/cigar pairings I have ever had...

Great thread ambientboy

1. Old Suffolk w/ AVO 80th
2. La gloria serie R w/ rogue shakspeare stout.
3. be sur to sit down for this one, Ashton ESG robust w/ arrogant bastard ale.

room temp guiness xtra stout(not pub draught) with RP90

[Jekyll]

IMHO gotta have a good balance of the Hops and malt to not overpower the gar(or the gar overpowering the brew for that matter). Dogfish Head and Sweetwater are my fave breweries but the perfect balance of hops and malt is the ole standby Sam Adams Boston Lager. I love alot of the varieties of Sam Adams(Cranberry Lambic excluded) as I feel that each style, while not the best of its kind, is a great representation of the style of brew and if enjoyed can lead you to try other styles, etc...

My fave pairing right now is a Sweetwater 420 with a Pepin Blue.

[Ivory Tower]

Paulaner Hefe-weizen and PSP2.
