TrophyHusband 0 #1 July 30, 2007 sometime this week i'm making fish n chips. i would like it to be as authenticly british as possible, since one of my guests will be a brit. keeping in mind that i live in a shitty town in the idaho desert, what beer would go best?

chaoskitty 0 #2 July 30, 2007 Well its not a british beer, but I like a nice Hefeweizen with fish and chips. Its got a lemon flavor and not too heavy with that starchy meal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stumpy 284 #4 July 30, 2007 Lemon?! Thats not a beer. Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaoskitty 0 #5 July 30, 2007 Oh hush! Its not like beer comes in one flavor! I like a lemon in my hefe.. but do not put one in my shiner! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stumpy 284 #6 July 30, 2007 LOL - don't get me started on flavoured beers!! And to the OP, ideally you want a really good real ale with that fish and chips - but good luck finding one in Arizona! A darker beer would be better than a lighter one, something not too fizzy. Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 35 #15 July 30, 2007 I can't believe shrek hasn't piped in here yet. You'd think he'd know everything about fish-n-chips, as fat as he is.

funkcanna 0 #16 July 30, 2007 Ok to the OP... Fish and chips is first better served by replacing the fish with a bun and adding gravy, thus creating a Gravy Chip Butty. The beer you serve it with doesnt matter but I recommend Stella (belgian) or Carling (UK). :)To know requires proof To believe requires evidence To have faith requires neither.

funkcanna 0 #19 July 30, 2007 Well hell aye!! Lager all the way! :P although Carling Premier may be the best bet... Aye I like onion gravy but on my butties it has to be chippy gravy (i.e. lumpy and thick as ya like). But mushy peas - NOOOOO!

TrophyHusband 0 #23 July 30, 2007 i've seen yuengling here before, but have never tried it. i haven't seen black and tan though. i may have to get a little of what everyone suggests, if i can find it, and see what i like best.
