I should have clarified and said that I know this is way over thinking it. It's more for fun to see what sort of "go to" pairings people suggest with my given parameters.
I'm a big fan of the Milk Stout and that was already in the running. The Breakfast Stout is probably too high ABV for this, but I have several bottles at home already so knowing what to pick up to pair with them is really nice.
This is another thread entirely, but we're actually planning a trip to Vegas this summer where we'll have a cigar at Casa Fuente, so I may have to pick up a Hemingway to save for later when I'm getting pumped up for the trip. Having an excuse to get a Stone beer is never a bad thing, either.![]()
