I'm mainly a beer drinker, however I have not found one beer yet that tastes good with a cigar.

However, I have found that my palate reacts well with a good Highland malt Scotch, a rum and coke, or a bourbon and ginger ale when smoking.

Based on these drinks, could yall recommend a beer to try with a cigar?

I like to drink a porter with my cigars. Sam Adams Honey porter, Anchor porter, Smutty Nose porter are a few good ones. You get some nice malty flavors as well as chocolate, caramel. Some can be a little smokey. Try a few different ones. I found some not so good ones like anything else. Don't know if you can get it down there but I found Cisco brewers moor porter to be excellent made on Nantucket.

Yeunglings or anything hoppy like Sam Adams I think goes well. I like Guiness but I don't find it goes well with cigars

thanks for the help yall.

Lablatts or Red Stripe

Chimay Reserve (Blue Label). Really complements the taste of a cigar.

Any Chimay or Negro Modelo, but mostly a Red Chimay!

I've never had a problem with Bass Ale or Pilsner Urquell.

Sam Adams cherry or cranberry.I realy like Hob Gobblin its a dark lager.try to find the two pack it has a nice glass that goes with it pint size ofcourse...

The red label tastes too fruity to me. The white (Cinq Cents) is great, though.

I like Orval and it is fruity too, I guess that would explain my preference for the red, that and the blue being 16 bucks a glass.

Man, that is steep. I pay ten bucks for the 750 ml bottle.

GUINNESS!!!!!

I enjoy an Oatmeal Stout... Various

I like either the red or blue Chimay, especially with a Partagas SD4 or SP2. Of course, even hot urine would taste good with a Partagas.

Not really a beer I guess, but I love to have a Strongbow cider with a good smoke. I also find Bass Pale Ale to go pretty well.

Bass and Newcastle for me. I'll leave the hot urine to Scottological...

Welcome to the forums President Clinton!
I recognised your post from the Starr Report.
Personally I agree with somebody else who said Pilsner Urquell, great hoppy beer, or Stella Artois. Guinness of course, except I can't smoke in pubs here and I can't get draught Guinness at home, the cans aren't the same. I like the bottled stuff but it's a completely different drink. There's a Heineken brewed in Holland ( most heineken in Ireland is brewed in Ireland) that's 5% abv, slightly stronger so there's a nice bite to it, very clean tasting. I think it's available in the US, it comes in little barrel-shaped cans.
Lastly, there's a another Belgian beer, Duvel. Very clean and a nice bite. Careful though, it's 9% abv, three bottles make your legs stop working.
I haven't had Chimay that I remember, I'll have to give it a go.
