What do you think is the best beer with smoked foods?
Looking for something a little heavier than the canadian,big rock versions.
curious to see which ones you  smokers like?

THIS post should get lots of attention!! Soooooo many beers to choose from. My personal favorite is a micro, produced locally by Homer Brewery, named 'Red Knot' ale. I normally prefer the darks produced my micros, but I definitely don't rule out "corporate darks" either! Second would be a good heady porter or stout, although for a lighter production beer,(even though you mentioned "something a little heavier than the canadian,big rock versions"), Kokanee seems to maintain the good hops/grain flavor that I like. Guinness is also, being readily available anywhere these days, one that enhances the pallet of smoked stuff.

Try Molsons Pilsner, that is what the Molson brew masters call the best Molson's beer. My dad and his friends used to drink it all the time, but I've only now started appreciating it. Good taste!!!

We have a micro brewery here that does a great Nut Brown. If you are ever in the
area of Langley, give Dead Frog Nut Brown a try. A great beer with a great name.
There tag line is there are more hops in a dead frog.

Not a huge beer selection here, some but mostly mainstream.  I miss the micros, etc.
Went to univ in GA..you could pick from about a 100.

Going to try a guiness, and a few darker ones this weekend.

I'm hooked on Samuel Adams. It depends on the food that is smoked, and the spices and other seasonings I have added; and because Adams brews seasonal beers it depends on the season. Right now I like their larger (year round beer) with beef and lamb. There Summer Ale is great with pulled pork, chicken and fish, but there are so many others to choose from.

The best beer I have ever had was chilled for about 10 minutes, on the window ledge in the barracks just off the Michigan lake.  In 10 minutes ice crystals were already forming.  That is the best beer.  The brand?  Don't remember.  I think it was the chill that made the real difference, and taking a break from the Military.   :D
