Mince and Cheese Pie

[Reviled]

We all love a mince and cheese pie, well, a proper kiwi does anyway :o)

I was thinking at lunch, what would be the perfect beer to accompany a good ol mince and cheese pie with tomato sauce?? What do you drink with your pie?

And please dont tell me Tui to go with a Tui pie and some Tuimato sauce on it... Even tho Tuimato sauce is pretty tasty...

Ive heard good things about Chinook, but its getting hard to find I think...

Just had an Epic pale ale with a homemade very savoury risotto and it was spot on. Reckon that would work really well with a PROPER pie too!
Cheers,

Pitch Black, with a Pitch Black pie.
We had them for lunch when we brewed PKB (but with the PKB trial rather than Pitch Black). It's made with a pitch black reduction... feel free to lay a slice of cheese on top if that is what you want.

So it seems a pie goes with any beer? :o) What a versatile food...

[Kempicus]

More like any beer goes with everything :0)

Probably APA for me. I'm not the master of pairing though.

Nothing wrong with servo pies, great for those early Sunday mornings when none of your poncy 'gourmet', organic, ten-dollar-butter-chicken-pies, gluten-free bakeries are open :-P

Anyways, steak and cheese is better.

Its funny when you go overseas, even aussie, and ask for a Mince and Cheese pie, and they say they dont even know what the hell youre talking about?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Then proceed to sell you a "beef and onion" pie which in turn, is actually just a mince and cheese pie :o) hahaha

And americans only put fruit and chocolate in pies, no meat!!! WTF?!?!

[Kempicus]

Pork Pie is the best!

BP used to actually have primo pies, but recently theyve started to lack excessively :o(

I think if I had to choose a particular beer style to go with it would have to be a Pale Ale...

[jt]

Yea, but try finding a decent one eh ?

[denimglen]

A decent BP, pie or pale?
