Wagyu and beer

Drink what ever beer you would normally have with a steak. I prefer an old fashion IPA.

 

I think the Fred is pretty ideal - it has the deep caramelized/melanoidin malt flavors to match the meat but also a bit of acidity to keep it from getting too heavy. I always think a good farmhouse style that isn't too acidic is a versitile pairing beer, the malt and yeast profile tend to balance out heavier flavors. Enjoy that steak, I'm jealous!

 

I can't speak for Wagyu, but I always enjoy a Schienkeria Marzen when pairing w/ grilled steak. The rauchbier goes so well with red meat.

Let us know how things turn out with the steak & your beer choice, enjoy!

 

Aged North Coast Old Stock, or one of the Old Stock Cellar Reserves would go nicely. I have paired those with steaks before and they hit the spot.

Also, along those lines any of the J.W. Lees Harvest Ale variants would also be nice.

 

I think just a typical stout or IPA would work.

 

Maybe it's just me, but I'd give those wine pairing recommendations another look. YMMV.

Edit: I suppose I could be talked into pairing, say, Jester King Le Petit Prince with it. YMMV.

 

Good suggestions above, depends on whether you want to pile richness on richness (BA imperial stout) or use beer as something to cut the richness (then a sour or wild ale, or saison, might be great).
Good luck - for me it's always red wine (Cab/Zin/Syrah) when I hit the wagyu or any rich cut.
Just sayin'

 

Im a huge Ipa fan with anything that I grill. So if you are grilling roll with that. If its going in a skillet with some fresh herbs, I roll with a nice porter.

Remember Wagyu is VERY rich, only cook off about 6 ounces per person. You eat more than 8 ounces of real A5 and you'll be on the shitter for hours the next day.

Cheers

 

same here

 

I personally dig a Barleywine with steak if I'm going with a brew. If it were me I'd hit that CWB with it, or the OEC for dessert. or both. here's to better months ahead

Prosit!

 

Out of your list, I happen to like the Central Waters Barleywine.

Edit: I didn't see the BCBW. Even better.

 

You cannot possibly go wrong with two Orvals!

 

I love a good rich stout or porter with steak. Founders porter or imperial stout would be excellent.

Of the beers listed I would go BCBS.

enjoy.

 

Once you are spending that amount of money on meat, if you're not a trained professional, I'd say go with mineral water. No sense in ruining an excellent piece of meat and a rare bottle at the same time.

 

Yeah my head tells me pure water but my heart screams Black Tuesday
(Or the BCBW would be acceptable)

 

Any IPA would be bad deciding. Something with great carbonation, like the above mentioned Orval, or a bubbly Saison seems right.

Or, as also mentioned above, a bottle of San Pellegrino. La Fin do Monde with cherry pie for desert.

 

Bruery Poterie
SS Oatmeal stout

or, a Zin or Cab. Skip the beer.
