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

I would go with a thick, dark beer, like a brown ale or a dark lager
I would go with a dark beer like Amber Bock.
IPA- India Pale Ale
