What Beer I drink with Bar-B-Q
I really enjoy smoking pork ribs or beef brisket. I like paring brown or amber ales with barbecue. The sweetness of brown and amber ales blends with the sweetness of Texas Barbecue. Some of my favorite beers I drink with barbecue are Full Sail Amber, Breckenridge Avalanche,Flying Dog Old Scratch, Brooklyn Brown, or Real Ale Brewhouse Brown. When I smoke ribs or brisket, I begin by spicing the meat with a few different spices. Garlic salt, Cajun seasoning,fajitas seasoning,or just use a quote "brisket rub" such as the recipe Grady Spears, a well known Fort Worth Cowboy Chief, suggests.
