My two favorite pairings are nice IPA and some Indian food and pale ale + bbq pork (ribs or shoulder).

I think a barbecue beef brisket and a pale ale would also be a very nice pairing :) – hdizzle Jan 29 '15 at 15:48

Why? What are the characteristics that make this a good pairing? – Xander Jan 29 '15 at 21:46

@Xander I think that the sweetness of the barbecue sauce (especially a more pork oriented bbq sauce) is nicely countered, but not overwhelmed by the slight bitterness of a pale ale. – hdizzle Jan 30 '15 at 17:19

A black malt goes well with the char of a good steak, and would also go well with a rich, chocolaty dessert.
A malty red ale would pair nicely with any smokey BBQ or roasted meat.
Wheat beers pair very well with more delicate dishes such as seafood, sushi, or shellfish.
Lastly, I find IPA's that aren't incredibly hoppy emphasize the spiciness of Mexican dishes, jerk chicken, or sausage. An IPA that is punch-in-the-mouth-hoppy will overpower just about any dish though.
While technically not a pairing, if you've never experienced a beer milkshake, I highly recommend them.

Well in the Czech Republic, where I live, the favorite with-beer-food would be something that we call 'vepřo knedlo zelo'.
That means like(our special type of) dumplings, pork and cabbage. It tastes wonderful... give it a look at google images.
Well, the quality of the Czech main-stream beer went low, so the best might be 'Podkováň', which is very difficult to buy even here in CR.
