Hi ..im a new poster so apologies if this is a thread elsewhere ....
I would recommend Badgers Golden Glory , Golden Champion , Shepherds Neame MasterBrew and any Banana Beer to go with curries ...to that end i am busy investigating as many Real Ales / Wheat Beers as i can ..its a hard job ..but someones got to do it : )
Oh and also Kronenbourg Blanc ..but it seems to have disappeared for some reason ...

Hi curryjihad get an app called pintley, i have it for android phone, it lists ALL beers and allows you to put your own reviews and comments on each beer/ale/lager you try.
Its a great app.
Have quite a big list of beers and ales to drink with curries at the moment, but still in the making.
Will post a list soon.

carlsberg special brew for me, after a phall the brew numbs your senses somewhat and helps with the pain :D

My very own Waggldance clone goes well with a milder curry like a Tikka massala.

But for a hotter curry it would have to be my Breferm Diabolo @ 8% abv

And a superb drop of beer that looks too ;D. I'll stay with my Leffe Blonde at 65p a bottle - a lot less hassle but it is nice to enjoy the fruits of one's own labour :D

It brewing my own beer that steered me to this website and got me making curries.
www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk (http://www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk) had a thread promoting cr0 and from that I now make great beer and great curry. ..... if only I could make a perfect woman... ;D

Gary Wallace and Wyatt Donnelly accomplished it in 1985 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_Science_%28film%29), if my memory serves me correctly; odd they were never nominated for a Nobel Peace prize for their remarkable achievement ...

i was in a restaurant years ago, I was reminded(not by anyone connected with the place) that alcohol & Indian food "do not mix" & was told to try a yogurt/salt/sugar/ice drink called lassi instead. Being Glaswegian, I declined immediately & ordered a pint of Lal Toofan Indian lager. It was the only Indian lager they had at the time, but I remember it not being overly gassy, like the Cobra, which is everywhere now. I tend to buy ales in the colder months, McEwans Champion Ale was on I tried last year....says 'award winning' on the label & at 7.8% I wouldnt like to have been at that awards ceremony...but surprisingly drinkable with curry

The perfect woman - dressed in white to match the kitchen appliances small feet so she can stand closer to the kitchen sink about 5 feet tall with a flat head so you can stand your pint on - cant think of anymore without getting killed by the wife!!
Just had a look at your site Jim boy! that may be something i will be trying in the future!

I used to brew a lot of my own beer and wine and actually accidently once made a natural sparkling elderberry wine, which blew the front off my glass cabinet door one day, when it was still carrying out a second fermentation in the bottle!! Made a complete mess of the dining room, but the remaining bottles were priceless!! :)
However once the kids came along it was more time on changing nappies than pulling corks, so I have opted for the buy a bottle now.....
My favourite lager with Indian has to be Cobra, it's not too gassy, and is quite light. Being of an older generation now, I can't drink as much as I would like to... but also a strong lager like a Carlsberg Elephant Brew or a Tennants Super Brew, just one can, allows the flavour to mingle. I don't find that beers of a lower alcohol content mingle too well with Indian as first, they are too gassy and secondly don't have a lot of flavour, especially with strong flavoured foods...
With regards to wine, my favourite has to be the "Mollydooker Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz" not cheap at about ?35 a bottle which is just right for spending a romantic evening with you're loved one sipping together, but I have to say also that one of the best wines I have and always drink to date is the Lindemans Bin 40 Merlot. At ?5.99 a bottle in most merchants that don't rip you off is a fantastic wine!!!
I used to buy the Lindemans Bin 50 Shiraz, but having tasted the Bin 40, then no contest. A lot of people have told me to try the Jacobs Creek stuff, and in particular the reserve when I was in America and they had run out of the MollyDooker, but I find Jacobs Creek which is the same sort of price as Lindemans a no no compared to Lindermans......
I know everyone has their own preferred brands and that only tasting different wines and beers will you find what suits you're palates, but if you ever get a chance to try these wines, then please don't hesitate.
Other wines I like are Argentinian Malbecs, Chillean Merlots... I like full blooded oakey red wines that give that hit, I don't like Italian light wines or french except for the Chateneauf De Pape or a full bloodied Rhone. Spanish has to be a full bloodied Rioja. Light wines are ok for a nice sunny day with friends eating bunches of Rabbit food and being pleasant to one another, but when it comes to serious flavoured foods then I'm afraid it has to be serious flavoured full bodied wines......
I used to drink white wine but now having spent many years on good reds, I find white a little bland. I do like a good Aussie Chardonay or a Strong Chablis, I've even had some very good local Greek white wines too.....
I guess I could talk all day on wines and beers that I like, but I guess i am digressing from the subject here....
On a last note, if you ever get to try these wines, especially the MollyDooker, "And it's hard to get here" only from selected merchants which you'll have to search for, then do please try these and let me know what you think :)
