Beer pairings

I know there are many people that like to pair wines with certain foods. I'm guilty of such an obsession, but only when in a nice restaurant. Otherwise I'm pretty much a beer guy. As such, I've learned over the years that beer, like wine, can be paired pretty successfully with a variety of foods.

One of the oddest beer pairings I've ever tried, but one that I particularly enjoy is pairing a nice DARK full-bodied stout with a piece of cheesecake. Sounds sort of strange, but it is a really nice combination. Another good combo is Corona (with lime) and crab legs or shrimp with Old Bay seasoning. A nice mid-range lager is a good match for steak. A wheat beer goes nicely with seasoned pork. There are many possible combinations out there. Try a few of them and see what your personal preferences are.
