Today, beer fans, I created for the first time (at least in my kitchen) a sandwich that brought a tear to my eye and a food boner to my bathing suit area. Before I unveil it's loveliness, I beseech you B&B readers to match this carnivorous snack with a suitable beer. I present to you the Sneaky Pete:
On two slices of potato bread (which unbeknownst to this author beforehand is 99% fat free), dress the left slice with your favorite mayonaisse and the right slice with a nice spicy brown mustard (I like French's).
On the mustard slice, cover with hard salami (Target's Archer Farms brand makes a nice salami, but you can also get resourceful and use the stuff you'll get in your stocking on the 25th.)
On top of the mayo slice, make an obnoxious pile of thinly sliced roast beef. Thin is key here, fellas. It makes you more manly to stack more slices.
On top of the salami, apply a blanket of sharp cheddar. Any sharp cheddar will suffice and most pre-sliced packages are thick enough to provide a suitable cheese kick through the meat hug.
On top of the roast beef, apply two slices from a medium tomato. Give a good salting to the slices, you'll thank me.
Carefully place the two piles of awesomeness together and get ready. Accompany with a handful of the world's finest snack pickles, Gedney's Mini-Munchers.
I made this sandwich at lunch today and literally was impelled to masturbate immediately afterwards. I paired the sandwich with a bottle of Boulevard Pale Ale. It tasted great when poured into a pint glass because it was my last bottle of beer and it was at lunch. Don't tell my boss.
Now here's your homework, beerniks: Based on the aforementioned ingredients, what is the best beer for The Sneaky Pete?

Are we supposed to complete the sentence?
Sorry. Please see revised post. I published too soon.
I've already posted on this once on another blog, but due in part to its relevance, and the author's exuberance, I'll also throw out there a Coors-light red beer.
Because sandwiches and red beer make the bed bugs not bite.
Or a jigger of E Dub. Thats Evan Williams for you rich people.
First of all, thanks for contributing to this blog! Please come back. I know you've got more material that's relevant to brews and booze.
I like your Pale Ale choice with sandwich. You want to stay away from dark beer--too robust for lunch, especially on a Monday. You also want to stay away from anything _______ light. A fancy sandwich needs a fancier beer.
Other suggestions:
Something Wheat--Good flavor. Grainy to match the bread. Unfruited.
An IPA--Flavorful enough to match the sandwich. A good bite, but not overpowering.
Harp--Nice smooth flavor. A Pub beer for what seems like a Pub Style Sandwich.
Champagne--you just made a groundbreaking invention/discover. Celebrate.
Oh, and if it's for lunch on a Monday, maybe just an Iced Tea man.
