Just recently re acquainted myself with that hoppy temptress...like Campbell's soup...mmm mmm good! Sam Adams been my brew of choice since '92...how bout you?
Gotta mow a lawn...then ima drink a cold one!
I usually drink high proof beer because it's an effective delivery mechanism. That being said, the best marinade I ever used for meats primarily contained beer that had been sitting out in the hot sun for a few years. Sounds gross to drink, I know, but it made for a flavorful cooking ingredient.
shareBeer sitting out in the sun for a few years? Ugh, yep, that sounds too gross to do anything with it.
Do you keep it in a bottle, can, or keg? Opened??
I've meant to try out using beer as a marinade (not 2-year-old sun-soaked beer though!) for years. Sounds like it'd be good.
Yes, I will swear on a stack of bibles that the best beer I ever used for marinades and batters was in some cheap bottles that sat out in the backyard for a couple years. I never took a sip from them, but as a cooking ingredient they were awesome.
I dared a friend to take a sip from one bottle, and he got immediately sick. It's not drinking beer.
He got sick from one sip? Ugh. I suppose the cooking temps take care of whatever problem is in it straight out of the bottle.
What else do you add to your beer marinades?
I usually squeeze in some lemon juice and add a pinch of pepper along with some soy sauce and garlic, maybe some brown sugar depending on the cut of meat. It's nothing too fancy, but the cheap stale beer cooks up to a very robust flavor.
I also use it in batter recipes - again, nothing out of the ordinary. It's made the best onions rings I've ever tasted.
Sounds good. I'm going to give this a try soon! Not the years-old beer, just cheap beer.
sharenothing like it, I would add ''sunny afternoon'' though.
I used to drink any type of beer, and a lot of it.
Now I only drink Busch.
I drank lot's of Fckdup in the past months, thatsà shit got me hooked! One bottle and Im DONE
Cheers D
