What is a good flavored beer to cooked pulled pork in?!


Question: What is a good flavored beer to cooked pulled pork in?
I found an awesome recipe for pulled pork sandwiches. It says to cook the pork in root beer or beer. I've try it once with root beer, and it was really good. Now I want to try it with real beer. But there are too many options. Has anyone cooked with beer, and what is your preferred kind? Or, do you just have a favorite beer that you think would work? Thanks people :-}

Answers:

Guiness Stout, a nice dark, hearty beer will really add some great flavor. It also works very well with a beef stew. Just cook up your favorite beef stew recipe as you normally would, season to taste, then about an hour before serving add in about 1 cup of Guiness Stout and continue to simmer. Just before you are ready to serve, stir in a knob of butter -2 T. or so and a generous grind of freshly cracked pepper. It really melts everything together nicely. Enjoy.

I'm a personal chef.



Cooking is going to remove the alcohol and leave with the flavor of the beer so select a beer that has smooth, robust, flavor with pronounced hops, but not excessively bitter.

Cooking with Bud, Millers, Coors, Corona, and most light lagers would be a waste of good pork.

While I like Beck's Dark and St. Pauli Girl Dark, they lack the standout robust flavor I'd like to taste.
I think Guinness doesn't have the smoothness I would like.

If I paid for the pulled pork, my choice of beers would be (in no particular order):
- Newcastle Brown Ale
- Sam Adams Scotch Ale or any other Scotch Ale you can find
- Sam Adams Black Lager
- Sam Adams Irish Red
- Sam Adams Honey Porter



Sam Adams is a great beer to cook with. Not to mention they've got a lot of different varieties to experiment with. I personally prefer Boston Lager myself. I've used it in a lot of recipes that call for cooking food w/ beer. Avoid cooking w/ beers such as Miller Lite, Coors Light, etc., They tend to impart a sour flavor on food.



Guinness would be a good one, along with maybe an oatmeal stout or honey brown lager. I say experiment, you never know what might work out ;)
