Sauternes AOC (2012). Sémillon and sauvignon. 12.5%.

Had an excellent IPA from Offshoot Beer Co. called Relax (It's just a hazy IPA). Very tasty and if you are not an IPA drinker, this one had a really tame kick at the end that one usually tastes with IPA's. Very well balanced in my book.

I had some dark beer BBQ sauce. It was great.

Served with steak, or consumed as a drink?

Your post does little to clarify whether what you "had" was dark beer, or dark beer flavoured BBQ sauce.

I was sure someone was going to ask if I drank the sauce.

And, did you?

From the wording of your post, it is not at all clear whether it was safe (presumably consumed with beef or sausage or pork), or beer.

I guess one could reasonably wonder if I just TASTED the sauce.

I did not say beer AND sauce. Or beer WITH sauce.

Whatever.

However, for what it is worth, - a handy hint - the thread is supposed to be about enjoyment of, and enthusiasm for, beer and wine.

Assuming your goal is to reduce the burn, you'd have better luck with some whole milk or cream. I suppose a White Russian could work too.

Vodka, yogurt work.

Maybe that's why tequila was invented.

Well, fact is beer and wine are excellent ingredients for sauces and marinades of all types. As well as accompaniments for good food.

I for one am pleased that the selection of both available in summer terraces and other open-air spots here has improved mightily over the last 10 years. Once only the big brewery brands were to be had, now we can get local brews including seasonal which is great. Anyone coming to visit French Switzerland can't go wrong with anything from Dr. Gab's or Brasserie du Virage.

I am rather partial to Gewürztraminer - especially one that hails from Alsace.

Do enjoy.
