SmokyJones said:Hey I hear you. Major beer snob and homebrewer here myself. Personally I really dislike Moosehead. Most of the lagers that are actually worth drinking come from Germany or the Czech Republic. Love the avatar btw, Greg Koch is doing great things over there at Stone. I can't wait to see what the 8th anniversary beer is, it's bound to be something great.
As for me, beer is my drink of choice with my cigars. A good rule of thumb is the darker the wrap, the darker the beer. There are exceptions, but I find that it works pretty well. I found Victory Prima Pils went great with a Romeo Y Julieta No. 2 last night. Nothing better than good beer + a good cigar.
Yummmm.....Prima Pils. I find porters go better than hoppy beers with some cigars, I'm partial to Anchor or Sierra Nevada porters with Padron maduros. All of the Victory, Stone, Three Floyds beers that I have had were fantastic. I don't like dry wines with most cigars, last time I tried an aussie red I ended up going for a coke instead after the first few sips (only beer I had left was homebrew that hasn't aged yet). I'm going to get a few dogfishhead for weekend smokes and see how they match (beer festival Saturday...now I need to look over my smoke selection). I'm thinking of pulling a La Aurora 100 anos or Torano 1916 Churchill .... maybe both! :w
