Beer and Ribs





My 5 year old son Moses told me the other day "Dad we haven't barbecued in a long time". He was right, it had been raining so much I have not thought about bbq. I didn't end up barbecuing, but rather smoked some pork ribs for about 5 hours. I smoked a loaf of french bread wrapped in tin-foil as well and broiled some asparagus.

I had also recently finished brewing a batch of pale ale beer. It turned out really nice. The beer has a medium hop flavor and complimented the whole meal. When I have a beer with a meal I like to have something flavorful, like an ale or a bock. When I have a beer while watching a game or after working hard on a labor intensive project, I prefer something light like a pilsner. I might be over-thinking it, but there are different beers for different occasions. Though at the end of the day, if someone hands me a beer, I'm really not going to complain about what kind it is.
