Last night was curry night in the flat. To celebrate the curry, I decided what was the best beer to go with the curry in question:
First up was a Fosters. The student choice! Slightly fizzy and tasting a bit like water, I only drank this as something to drink while cooking. Seemed to improve vastly after a while, as it got less fizzy, and a little smoother in taste.
Still cant take it seriously.
As the curry was served, out came the Kingfisher. Personality wise Kingfisher blew the Fosters away. It was lively with an odd aftertaste that neither myself nor the misses could really put our fingers on. The problem is its a little bit to lively, its perfect for a burping contest, but not something you want when eating curry.
When I’m eating curry, I’m wanting something smooth, and weirdly (when you consider its name), Cobra was it. While Kingfisher was a struggle to drink, Cobra was a joy in comparison – with far more taste then Fosters ever did.
Dont get me wrong, in the land of the lager – Gambrinus is still king – but thats hard to get hold off. So with a curry – Cobra will do…. Now I just need to find a decent ale to go with a curry instead…
