It only tastes good together if it's in one of these type of glasses. Anything tastes good when you're drinking out of one of those.

If you’re going to quote the greatest singer-songwriter of this or any generation, at least get the lyrics correct. Embarrassing. You’re better than this.

Unsweetened tea is my beverage of choice with seafood but a beer works too.

More unpopular opinion: beer tastes like shite and doesn't pair well with anything.

I have to have beer with crawfish. It’s the perfect pairing.

Just like a Coke with a cheeseburger and fries.

They just go together.

I don’t understand why people always drink beer with seafood. They’re not complimentary flavors at all. Why would you pair two salty things together?




Have a coke. Fatty

Beer, particularly bland light beer, is paired with crawfish for a very important reason: to lessen the severity of the spices in the boil. When one eats spicy food, sodas and water both can amplify the heat. On the other hand, milk, beer, and bread are all common remedies to soak up spice and alleviate the pain of eating something that’s too spicy for someone. Milk spoils quickly outdoors (crawfish boils tend to be outdoors in warm weather), and boils already have potatoes and corn as starches, so there is little reason to eat bread. As such, beer, particularly cold light beer, is the perfect beverage to help balance the heavy spices of the seafood boil.

Disgusting. Why not just inject copious amounts of HFCS directly into your veins?

I prefer drinking something sweet that is more complimentary to the salty flavor of the seafood. Sweet tea, Coca Cola, or another soft drink usually does the trick.

Boiled seafood is the one meal I will only eat with a beer.

I'm a whiskey and burboun drinker but beer and boiled seafood is just a perfect fit

Good plan except Coke and other soft drinks have more sodium than the average beer.
