For me, IPA's go well with NOTHING!

I can't even do this, unless the first is a single and the second a double or significantly stronger in aroma and taste. One dipa pretty much ruins my taste for hops for the night.
That said I like spicy food and ipas, but im not trying to evaluate the beer while I'm eating, I'm just thirsty.

 

Greedy Danish balls and garbage lid snare drums and crab bassists and hair plugs and Bob Rock.

 

Count me in with the "Cheddar" folks.

Nothing beats a nice, hoppy IPA and a quality Cheddar.
I like to pair a nice Midwestern IPA (hoppy, but not bitter) with a 5-year, Wisconsin Cheddar at room temperature.
I chew up a bit of cheddar, then flood my mouth with IPA, and I am delighted as an INTENSE floral characteristic bursts forth.

IPA and Cheddar is my single favorite food/bier pairing, actually.

Just last night I was having some Prairie Breeze cheese and an IPA!

 

For my mouth, ipa's pair well with foods that are spicy and/or greasy. Buffalo wings immediately come to mind. Also pizza and beer (any beer) are a no-brainer.

 

For some reason, I can't help but read the name of this thread in the voice of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.

 

That sounds DELICIOUS! Holy crap, I'm hungry.

Though, I could use a good chocolate stout with some ice cream right about now.

 

Got brave & tried Heady Topper & homemade oatmeal cookies last night.. it went much better than expected, so good I'd do it again. Must try the PtY pairing when it's released in Feb, cheers!

 

IPAs with spicy mexican, nuff said!

 

I'm not a fan of beer and food together either. I like having a little or medium sized session before the meal or a little over an hour after my meal.

IPAs do go well with Mexican, or spicy foods. Beer goes well with a basket of fries also I've found, but that's about it.

All this love for Pizza and beer....meh. Too filling.

 

Ahhh.....PtY...many, many years of great memories.

 

IPA goes well w/ fried foods and particularly fried seafood: fried clams, fried scallops, fried shrimp, fried fish, along w/ fries and mayo. Hops cut brilliantly through the grease and fattiness.

 

It was great fresh, but aging has not been kind.

 

lots of good responses, but I generally like Steaks with my IPA's!

 

IPA's and killer hot wings.

 

As long as the ipa is fresh, I'll enjoy the shit out of it whatever the food you add to it

 

You're in the wrong forum. I would generally never try a beer for the first time while eating. But with beers of which I'm quite familiar, food pairings are excellent.

 

Lightly spiced food, burgers, crispy grilled salmon. My trifecta.

 

Not in the wrong forum, the thread title was renamed.

 

Got it. So this thread didn't start in the Beer & Food forum?

 

Yes. It originally was posted in the who gives a shit forum
