What beer goes best with Lamb?

Question

I dont have any wine on hand

Answer 1

Guinness Stout - Millions of Irish can't be wrong.

Answer 2

I would say a Belgian-style wheat-bear, or whitbeer, also called a White Beer. Perhaps the most available of this style is Blue Moon, however, there are many varieties, Hoegaarden, Hitachino Nest, and even one by New Belgium Brewey called Mothership. The subtle "spiciness" of the beer's finish should go very well with lamb.

Answer 3

I would say a Belgian Saison. Dupont Avec Les Bon Voeux or Foret would be a good choice. The Citus, coriander and white pepper notes would complement the Lamb without overpowering the subtle delicate flavors of the dish. A Belgian Strong Golden such as Duvel or a Triple such as Trappisten Westmalle would also be good choices. The sea salt and herbal nose of the Triple would compliment grilled Lamb equisitely.

Answer 4

If you can find it, St. Peter's Cream Stout. It's a Guinness style beer, except that it is not cascading, but the flavor is far superior. It has a nice nuttiness that would go well with lamb. The bottle is flask shaped, but it's not an easy find. You'd have to visit a specialty liquor store like BevMo or Liquor Barn.

Answer 5

When I was a chef, I used english bitter, porter like a sweeter version of stout and even red beers from Canada and Europe.

I braised lamb shanks, shoulder, reduced it in a sauce for loins or racks, even in navarins and even though a blanquette is whiteish a wheat beer like the one mentioned from Belguim.

Even when making a soup like Scotch Broth, an oatmeal stout would add a bit of kick.

Answer 6

Personally I would do a dark beer...I think the earthy flavor of lamb would be best complimented by a beer with some depth and body to it.

Here...! I even looked it up for you, and this site says a dark beer is great with lamb...(ya have to scroll down to red meats and game!)...
