beer is not very specific - Dixie & Bud is definetely more to the point!
Thanks.

Margaret - ha ha, I would never finish a meal if I drank straight bourbon with my meal!
For what it's worth, since i also like hot Thai food, cajun really isn't that spicy to me. It is good however!

Can you purchase Dixie beer outside of LA state?

I just found out about a new Cajun cafe here & am going to check it out.
The owners are ex-pat New Orleans citizens forced out by Katrina - think I'll go support 'em.

Easy! Only ONE to have of course! I live in Louisiana, 90 miles from New Orleans, and the ONLY drink is BUDWEISER beer! Goes PERFECT with ANY cajun food! Ask a cajun!

Crawfish etouffee drink a white wine
Jambalaya, dirty rice , and gumbo drink a muscadine wine
BBQ shrimp, po' boys drink a mint julep
an added note, our boiled seafoods(Crawfish, Shrimp, Crab boils) wouldn't be the same without a Dixie Beer to wash it down!!

OK Bad M,
Lets just try not to have anything acidic.
Now you are looking at the Cajun experience, so you have to go first with the cold beer. BUT!!!!!! you can't go wrong with a nice red wine. The others are great, but watch the acid... Even with Thai food you have to watch things that don't mesh well with the taste buds...

Bud, white wine and sweet tea. May I come to dinner. You are making me hungry. After the one year anniversary am considering a move back after a 20 year hiatus. Used to run the streets of the quarter much to the dismay of my parents. Anyone from Johnny Whites still alive or Big Daddy's or Lucky Pierre's. Go uptown Fat Harry crowd folks or Tipitinas. Ever spend time in Oppaluccass eating squirrel brains and nutria meat?

bourbon---ever hear of Bourbon St. in New Orleans for Mardi Gras? It's the thing to go with that spicy food.

Ice cold beer!!
Ok, well I think I would like a clean crisp beer like Coors Light, but another really good beer is Stella Artois.....Its Belgium....Or Blue Moon

An absolutely excellent beer that seems to really "shine" either in really hot weather or with hot food is Mexican "Pacifico," REALLY cold (like a couple of degrees above ice!)
(And for me it never hurts to start things off with a good scotch or a really quality burbon....)

This isn't meant to be a joke - but the drink called Hurricane - I heard it originated from N'awlins and where it might be sweet - it will definitely knock you off your feet.
Remember that song by E-40 --- Hurricane, but you can call me slurricane........
