Beer vs Wine after Steelhead Fishing?

I've been on this site for many years under many alias's.... my own stupidity with PCs and the internet... so forgive me for posting this rediculus question... (let me know if it is worse than alot of other humurous posts).
 
Some of you may have already met us (Tony, my brother-in-law and I) after a hard day of fishing (usuually December thru March) when we asked you to have a Beer and you accepted... wow, those discussions were great!  Hope you enjoyed the flies I gave you too.  The question is... at the end of day... do you prefer Beer or Wine with Steelhead?
 
Sorry for rambling but I just wanted you to know I'm going crazy waiting for the Steelhead season to start.   See you on the those snow/ice covered streams soon!

Manhattans are the way to go!  Jim Beam on the rocks.  Be sure to add the bitters....

Hefalump,
     Traditionally a slightly lemony/fruity white wine goes best with fish.  The heavier the "fish" the sweeter the wine.  However with steelhead I find that copious ammounts of cheap red wine make the fish taste go away somewhat.  However good fresh steelhead go well with light white.  As for drinking after steelheading, if I am toasting my success: a good single malt scotch whiskey, if I am bemoaning my lack of success:  Beer, usually an amber, without any of that fruity taste.

pappy69,

I have always found corn to be a good side with fish.. can/cobbed/frozen... your choice

I only get my corn from a jar... as anyone at the onefly will find out
and i don't mind sharing

 
Does the cook get some????    LOL

Cold beer is alright if we head to the bar

a nice glass of wine isnt bad either if we head to a nice resturant


but its usually what we have in the cooler so thats prolly bush light or keystone light lol


carpin old muck is what my dad used to referr to it. it was his only beer till his surgery.

With a good tasting fish I like a dry white wine......with steelhead, throw the filet in the trash get a burger and have a nice dark beer and a shot of JD... nothing beats that after hard day of fishing in the Winter.

In my opinion, Most fish tastes good when cooked fresh, even steelhead.  I do agree however, steelhead is not near as tasty after it has been frozen.  If I keep one here and there it is cooked sooned after it is caught or smoked.  Burgers, IMO, are summer grilling food complimented well with a nice dark beer.

I try not to kid myself and not drink beyond my socioeconomic status.  I usually start with some mad dog 20/20 and a shot of bottom shelf gut rot whiskey, then wash it down with a PBR (16 oz. of course), rap up the night by puking and passing out.  What a life, gotta love steelhead fishing!

I also like o.p.b.    OTHER,PEOPLES,BEER,
