Sausages Versus Beers Of The Americas - Preview

As John Anderson used to bellow on Gladiators...."Contenders READY". The beers of the Americas have been sourced and on Friday we will be going beyond the call of duty and testing which of them works best with sausages. As always, it's a tough job but someone has to do it. On this occasion I will be joined by my rather hot girlie, for her first foray into this dangerous business.

We are open for suggestions for the scoring system, complicated is good....

What a handsome line-up. Feast your eyes upon this west-of-the-Atlantic hangover-in-waiting....

Cucapa Clasica (Mexico) and Cubanero Fuerte (Cuba)

Brahma (Brazil) and Brooklyn Insulated (USA)

Sleeman Honey Brown (Canada) and Quilmes (Argentina)

Banks Caribbean (Barbados) and Cusquena (Peru)

All beers were found at the world's best shop, Beers Of Europe near beautiful downtown King's Lynn. The spirit of Oliver Reed walks the aisles....

What Is The Best "Beer Of The Americas" For Sausages?

Do you remember when we found the best European beer to drink with sausages?  Glad you do, I can't remember a thing after Ethiopia.....


We're doing it again, but this time we're testing beers from north and south America.  We've gathered beers from Canada, the USA, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Guatemala and Cuba, and battle will be joined soon....

The scoring categories are:

Alcohol By Volume – Is it a potent brew?  One point per one percent

Flavour – How does it taste?  0 (liquid poop) to 10 (nectar).

Looks – Includes the beer in the glass, the bottle, and cap.  From 0 (Widdecombe) to 5 (Kirsty from The Woolpack).

Head – Good head or over too soon?  From 0 to 5.

Beer/Sausage Compliment Factor (BSCF) – Match made in heaven or George & Mildred?  From 0 to 5.

Would a fugitive Great Train Robber enjoy this more than a Fosters? – Yes +2, no -2.

Price – Taking £5 as a price I would consider waaay too much for a beer, the score is “5 minus Actual cost”.

Are their football team a bunch of handballing World Cup cheats?  No +1, Yes -15.

Let battle commence!  Check back here in a couple of weeks time for the results, the photos, and the backstage gossip.
