Gameday: Favorite Beer & Snack Combinations

[jhoskins]

As I sit watching wild card weekend... I have beer (currently a Guinness, shortly will be switching to a local hazy IPA), but I don't have any good snacks. What are your favorite snacks for gameday to have with a cold one? Open to store bought or homemade. I'm craving some honey roasted peanuts and Jalapeno poppers.

For homemade snacks, favorite recipe?

[xaugievike]

nachos....

queso (see current queso thread) usually leftover pulled pork or smoked chuckie. making it tomorrow with fresh pulled pork.....for the Bears game that I hope the Saints win.

[xaugievike]

that pretty much sums it up.

Could be worse. You could live in Houston.

I’m a Michigander so... I am very familiar with rooting against my own team to get someone in management fired

Whatever beer I have at the moment. Today it’s Budweiser. I don’t snack a lit during games. But when I do, it’s usually a cheese, salami, cracker type thing. No fuss, no mess.

[Richard Chrz]

Bloody Mary’s and anything greasy or salty. Also typically meat and cheese cut up.

[Mojo0209]

High Life, cheese and sausage with crackers. Some kosher pickles and a blend of different olives.

Wings, nacho's, pizza, number one with football
Cashews and dry roast peanuts.
PBR tallboys and Cesar`s

If you live in Texas, go to HEB and get these. Trust me. These are the best tortilla chips and salsa I’ve ever had. Their chips are the only tortilla chips I’ve eaten that don’t need a dip. You can eat them like potato chips. A little bit spicy with a hint of cumin and lots of flavor. The salsa comes in 3 flavors, this Serrano is my favorite. Everyone I’ve turned on to this stuff has said it’s the best they’ve had. The salsa is only sold at HEB, the chips are also at Walmart, at least in Texas. I’m snacking on this today watching football. And just to garner a few laughs, I only drink Coors Light beer. I’m not that adventurous concerning beer.

They've closed all the HERB shops around here.

I ended up with Pizza, wings, Dod’s pretzels, honey roasted peanuts, and jalapeño chips for wild card weekend “snackage”. Serving me well so far

[Jfrosty27]

Snackage? I love it. I’ll need to remember that term. 😂

[jhoskins]

My sad and I always called it snackage growing up... when my mom would ask how much we bought at the store before a game day (football was big in my house”, we’d always say “oh just a little snackage” regardless of how much we actually bought

[Rfhd69]

We love PRO charcuterie boards with northwest IPA beer! This ones from New Year’s Eve!

Even a Texan was rooting for Russel and the Seahawks. Damnit that they lost.

[bbqLuv]

That spread looks better than the point spread.
Where is the PBR?

[smokin fool]

....I've now become a Seahawks fan....

Panhead John these are my go to’s up here Herdez is the closest salsa I’ve found to San Antonio momnpop bistro salsa
I like a thin light nacho and these Que Pasa nachos fit the bill next are by a restaurant called Jack Astor’s who makes them fresh as ordered
Visits to Texas have spoiled and jaded me against industrial nachos and salsa

[Panhead John]

smokin fool Yes sir! That is also an excellent choice. I’ve had the Herdez salsa before and it is good. I try and look for ones made in Texas or New Mexico if I’m not familiar with them.
