Question

What kind of beer goes best with sauerkraut?

Answer 1

I vote for anything German.  Beck's Dark, Spaten Optimator, Dinkel Acker dunkel weisse...

Answer 2

You're going to want to look for a Pilsner, Pale Lager or Pale Ale. Something that can match the taste of the sauerkraut.

Pilsner:

Pilsner Urquell

Sierra Nevada Summerfest Lager

Bell's Beer (Don't think this one is made anymore)

Lager:

Straub

PBR

Leinenkugel's Original

Yuengling

Dale's Pale Ale

Pale Ale:

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

Samuel Adams Boston Ale

Dale's Pale Ale

Dale's Pale Ale

In most of these the hops profile is mellowing and will have great complementary effect to the sour/bitter k***t.

Answer 3

Probably a Lager

Answer 4

Any good proper german beer. Not lager.

Answer 5

Lagers are best... Czechvar is great (Its named Budvar in any other nation than the US) with sauerkraut.  Pilsners are also good, something light but hoppy.

Answer 6

I go with a Pils usually. But I do also try a Kolsch with it at times.

Answer 7

Heineken is the best beer to boil your brauts in, and a cold hieny goes great with k***t.
