so beer is the best.
with red meat...samuel smith's oatmeal stout, by far the best complement.
with white meat...1/2 red tail ale + 1/2 old foghorn barleywine, heavy enough on the taste buds to spark up the next bite.
with seafood...leffe belgian ale or edelweiss dunkel
but for the everyday fix you'll never go wrong with a guinness.
