One of the best ways to serve smoked venison hind quarter is with a rich mushroom gravy. The umami from the mushrooms pairs perfectly with the smokiness of the meat.

That sounds amazing! I also love serving it with roasted root vegetables. The sweetness balances the smoky flavor really well.

I second that! And how about pairing it with a good red wine? Merlot or Syrah could complement the flavors nicely.

Definitely try serving it with some cranberry sauce! The tartness cuts through the richness of the venison beautifully. Adds a nice touch!

For drinks, I found that a nice dark beer or a bourbon cocktail really lifts the meal. What types of beer do you recommend with venison?

I love pairing it with stout or porter! They really enhance the smoky aspect of the meat.

If you’re thinking about leftovers, you can’t go wrong with making a smoked venison sandwich using some crusty bread and a tangy aioli. So good!

I love that idea! I also think using the leftovers in a hearty venison stew would keep it flavorful and comforting.

That’s a great suggestion, but I find venison can sometimes be dry. Any tips on keeping it moist during smoking?
