I imagine the day after beer was invented, someone made an Irish Stew. Cooking with beer infuses recipes with this intoxicating concoction of hops and barley in an effort to enhance and enrich everyday food.
Thanks to an article on WIKIHow, here are a few suggestions on using beer as an ingredient...
Select a beer that complements and enhances the food. The right type of beer should be considered before you cook. One rule of thumb to follow is like wine––use dark beer for robust dishes and light beer for lighter fare.
- Generally, pale ale beer complements nearly all recipes. Beer intensifies during cooking, so a lighter tasting beer may lend more of a blended flavor than a darker beer.
- Nut brown beer is ideal for rich dishes such as stews or cheese dishes.
- Strong Belgian Ales complement meat dishes. Most meat, especially red meat, dishes will require the use of dark brown ale rather than the lighter version.
- Fruity Beers will well with desserts.
- Wheat ales can enhance seafood and poultry dishes.
- Lager beer works well for baking breads because it adds levity to the dough. Beer can be used instead of yeast in pancakes and some breads.
- Adding beer to batters produces a light and crispy texture.

Condiments...
A FANTASTIC recipe for a Cook! Sure, makes a great dip as is, and certainly you can top a Hot Dog at the backyard BBQ. But this spicy, filled with varieties of flavor mustard adds a new dimension to anything you add mustard to...a salad vinaigrette to a pistachio crusted Ham... And this is EASY and a great introduction to home canning of condiments!
Salads, Appetizers and Snacks...
I LOVE this recipe, two types of melty cheese, deep flavored beer, made creamy with sour cream and pretty with spinach (and the illusion of healthy). And be sure to use Doritos TACO CHIPS... YUM INDEED!
YOU CAN BAKE BREAD! You can really. Beer bread takes all the worry part out of the process. NO YEAST, NO RISING, Just mix and heat and your house smells wonderful and the bread is ready to enjoy. Alcohol gets cooked out leaving the rich goodness of the malts and hops from the seasonings. SIMPLE but SPECTACULAR
Pizza Bread... made with BEER BREAD! For the crust used a slice of the EASIEST to bake of all breads, BEER BREAD! For the toppings, the classic original Italian pizza, the Margherita (named for an old queen, not the tequila drink)... Tomatoes, Mozzarella and Basil. WORKS GREAT AND FRESH HOT HOME Pizzeria QUALITY IN MINUTES!
This is incredible, like a grilled cheese, but favored with a whole grain mustard (baked into the bread) and flavored with a rich malt PORTER British style BEER. SO full of flavor, stands up to a gorgeous Beer Chili. AMong my favorite recipes EVER!!!
Stop buying pre-packaged mixes, Make your Own 1/2 the Cost. Beer bread may be the easiest of any home made bread. No kneading. No rising time, just mix a few ingredients (that are always in your pantry anyway) and you have fresh baked home made bread.
