What's your Ultimate Beer Snack

[Vossy1]

Sat here drinking a pint and eating cashew nuts.
Then I opened a packet of KP salt and vinegar nuts...wow

So what's your favourite beer snack ?

In years gone by mine used to be Brannigans ham and mustard crisps...monster :twisted:
Porky scratching are quite good also

You have to go far to beat the Belgian accompanyments...cheese, nuts or mini salty bagel things.

Cracking thread :thumb:

I like everything you mentioned, for me it has to be something that isn't going to spoil the beer so nothing too spicy. I do like nuts and would stick to just plain salted peanuts, roasted chestnuts are a great excuse to lounge in the kitchen drinking beer waiting for the cooker to do it's work on them should see them in the shops too soon.

The ultimate for me though requires too much effort or a good wife, a bowl of good hot beef gravy, a small pot of mild horseradish and a big plate of perfect yorkshire puddings

That for me, is beer munchie heaven :party:

I do like a good cheese with my beer...not so keen on pretzels though.

 

[steve_flack]

Pretzel!!! That's the word! Bagel!?! WTF was I talking about?

 

[steve_flack]

A plate of roast potatoes on a bar on a Sunday arvo is always a pleasant sight.

Just a normal Saturday evening...I've had a couple of Old Empire's though....

Old Empire's??? Sounds rather good...

I go through fads with snacky things. But when i used to frequent my local i was well known for my love of pork scratchings. Marmite crisps were a close second. Honey roasted peauts and twiglets are another fave.

It's Marston's crack at a proper IPA. 5.7% and quite bitter. I think it could do with more hops but I'm probably in a minority.

I'd agree with more hops in the Old Empire. One of my favourite bottled beers.

As for snacking, a friend of mine brought over a loaf of Tiger Bread and some Cambonzola cheese when we had a brewday in the summer. It made for a fantastic accompaniment.

 

[steve_flack]

twiglets are another fave.

Too true. A while back they did curry twiglets. They were very moreish. Don't know if they still do them?

 

[MEB]

Old Empie's sounds like something i'll be hunting down. I've found a weird on-line bottle shop here that has loads of english beers but at a price. I like the sound of that Old Empire.

Curry Twiglets were absolutely marvellous. They didn't do them for very long though. I'm sure i almost got addicted to them. :lol:

A pub i used to go to did roasted marmite potatoes as bar snacks on a sunday. There used to be a mad rush for them when they were put out and they lasted nano seconds. They also did curried roast potatoes too but they weren't a patch on the marmite ones.

They also sell it in cans which might be a better idea as it's sold in clear bottles so there's a risk of skunking.

mmm that post about chestnuts is making me miss the open fireplace at my old house... many a time i had my feet up, lights off and staring into the flames that licked the brass chestnut cooker thingy my ol' dear gave me with a cool homebrew in hand. yummy :)
