Ultimate Sriracha Burger

In finding a drink pairing for something like the Ultimate Sriracha Burger, you've got a lot going on. Smoky notes from the bacon, the oh-so-lovely Sriracha kick, sweet caramelized onions, and the unmistakably delicious funk of blue cheese... you're up against a flavor monster. No wine could even begin to handle this. Beer, however, can gladly step up to the plate.  This burger practically begs for a Black IPA, a style of beer that's massively hoppy (which will accentuate Sriracha's heat) but also utilizes dark roasted malts (which will play off of the onions, bacon, and blue cheese). And if I may go a step further, I'd go so far as to recommend one in particular: Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale. (In the interest of full disclosure, I should mention that I work for Stone Brewing Co., but that's not why I'm recommending it. I'm recommending it because it's the best Black IPA out on the market. Hands down. And it tastes incredible with this burger!) Adapted from "The Sriracha Cookbook" by Randy Clemens.    Click here to see 15 Classic Comforting Foods
