What beer goes best with bacon and eggs? I'm having a Sierra Nevada
Pale Ale. Mainly because that's what there was in the fridge.

With regards,
Ted

That would work. I think you'd want some kind of ale. Not a stout or
porter, since that would be overwhelming.

My thoughts exactly. In fact, Breakfast Stout from Founders in
Michigan would be just the thing.

Any beer thats in my belly late at night.
Nothing like breakfest at 4 AM in Vegas after being up all night. !!
I never had a desire for more beer. Maybe a little hazelnut brew.

Hmm, i'm thinking a lovely citrusy american IPA -- it'll cut right
through all that grease; it's almost like having grapefruit juice with
your breakfast!

e.g., Green Flash "West-Coast IPA", or Ballast Point "Sculpin IPA"
(which quite literally tastes almost exactly like grapefruit juice!)

yum!

Actually it's Ballast Point's "Big Eye IPA" which I was thinking of when
I wrote "tastes almost exactly like grapefruit juice" ... (stuff is a bit
freaky really).

If you put Tabasco on eggs, I'm not going to trust your beer
recommendations either.

Tabasco in beer, btw, is actually pretty good....

I'm not a big fan of Tabasco, but a few splashes of a
good hot sauce or a spoonful of salsa verde goes quite
well with eggs in my book. Moreso than any beer, in fact,
breakfast stout notwithstanding.

I am thinking a lovely citrusy american IPA.For 20 years I have ordered the same breakfast from Denny's-never waivering. French slam,all bacon, scrambled eggs, orange juice, coffee with a side of hash browns.

A bit hoppy for me. In the morning; I prefer a lesser hopped lager, like DAB. I ain't afraid to put a stout on the side of the plate, though. There's a pub/restaurant in Madison, WI that has beer,eggs and (drum roll) porn flicks playing on a bunch of TVs as you devour your breakfast "Smut & Eggs." That's interesting. Good "egg beers" though.

A good English style bitter goes well but don't have it ice cold
