DrinkSmokeGolf Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I've been pairing beer and cigars more lately. I'm leaning more towards stouts and porters these days. I find the smokiness & chocolate pair beautifully with cigars. This is one of my current faves. For the guys in BC, check it out! Yellow Dog is out of Langley. As the weather gets warmer I imagine I'll move on to lighter pale ales & hefeweizens. What are your favourite beer pairings?

Ramrod918 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 in langley here, ill check out yellow dog @@DrinkSmokeGolf next time im in the store. I lived in Powell river for 2 years and they have a great brewery there http://townsitebrewing.com/about-us/ anyways its run by one if not the only belgium brewmasters in bc/canada wih an engineering degree in brewing from brussels. They make really great stuff, I used to fill up my growlers every week! But they have bottle also and I always grab a few cases when I go back to visit in the summer. Anyways, some of my favorites are Zunga, Perfect Storm, Westview wheat, biere d'hiver and suncoast ale. He brews some real strong Belgium triples if thats your thing also ~10%. They are in various stores in the lower mainland, give em a try! DrinkSmokeGolf and Hififarmer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks6024 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Just hit up YellowDog, Dageraad and Moody Ales this weekend. Dageraad was amazing as usual. Yellowdog had some really nice and flavorful lower alcohol beers which I appreciate. Moody Ales was, solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrinkSmokeGolf Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 BC boys - I highly recommend this! It's a Belgian amber but only has 6% alcohol. This style of beer usually comes in around 8% which I find a little too strong. It's very smooth with a little bit of citrus on the finish. Great stuff!

DrinkSmokeGolf Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 which store did you get it from dsg?? Most decent beer stores will have it. Brewery Creek on Main st carries it for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscuro Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Since I am deep down a beer guy, I would kinda like to get this thread going again. I know that spirits are the more popular alcoholic drink to pair with stogies, but there is such a variety of beer styles and flavour profiles, it opens up a whole new world of exploring. Over the past few years, we here in Ontario and Western Quebec have finally gotten our fair share of IPA's and West Coast Style Ales. I say finally because you beer lovers out West have had these styles for years. I still remember getting a wooden 6 pack of Granville Island brews given to me by my boss at the time who was visiting there. Back when G.I. was a small micro, not owned by a large brewery. That beer then was sublime, now it is pretty lame. Too bad. So obviously, I like hoppy beers, but find them tough to match with cigars. I would be interested to hear of any cigars you guys have found that pair with a hoppy beer. Thanks, and Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieDon'tSurf Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I can match any beer with any cigar. Probably not a skill though. Rye and Brah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I can match any beer with any cigar. Probably not a skill though.Most excellent strategy!! Some of the really bitter ipa's suck with cigars, but I've had a couple that were awesome to pair with. Banff Ave brewery double ipa paired with a Robaina or Cohiba worked very well. I'll remember more after scotch season closes and it's beer season CharlieDon'tSurf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
