Summary: beer & {some more things}

>  beer & chips (any kind, but I like Bon Ton Ton best)
>  beer & pizza (anytime!)
>  beer & pasta (almost as good as pizza)

I might substitute a good or fun Italian wine here.

>  beer & subs (you may call them heros, poor-boys, hogies...whatever)
>  beer & ice cream (don't knock it until you've tried it on a 90 degree day)
>  beer & chili (extra hot!!)

Some things I find beer almost essential for:
Chinese food (Tsingtao)
Thai food (Singha, if they have it, or a San Miguel)
Vietnamese food (as for Thai)
Japanese food (Kirin, usually, but Sapporo or Asahi are also good)
(other far eastern cuisines go here) food
Mexican food (Preferably Dos Equis, but Carta Blanca or Bohemia is
  acceptable)
German food (a good German Beer *almost a redundancy*, St Pauli Girl, Becks)

(Alternatives to beer on the above include Margaritas with the Mexican food, a
German wine could go with the German food, and sake goes well with Japanese
food.  Often, I will have sake and beer with the Japanese food.  Arguably, you 
might pair plum wine with the Chinese. Generally too sweet for me.)

And with chocolate? Well, I like beer with cookies, so a chocolate chip cookie
or other chocolate cookie should qualify.

Mind you, I generally don't mean an American beer here, except for some of the
specialty brews.  I gave up drinking for quantity some time ago, and prefer a
flavorful beer or ale (which usually means imported).

Damn!  Now I'm hungry and thirsty, and it's only 11AM!  Oh, well, I'll just 
have to wait till dinner for Tarascan Tomato and Bean Soup, served up with 
a cold Dos Equis.
