Hello and welcome to this thing we’re doing where we help you figure out what you’re gonna put in your mouth this week. Some of these are recipes we’ve tried, some of these are recipes we’re looking forward to trying, all of them are fucking delicious. Tell us what you want to put in your piehole or suggest your own recipes, and we’ll talk about which things we made, which things we loved, and which things have changed us irreversibly as people. Last week, we ate a bunch of coconut.

My grandpa used to add beer to crêpes to make them lighter (like 1/2 milk, 1/2 beer). It brings a very specific taste to them. Whenever I make beer crêpes, it always reminds me of childhood <3
I have been stuffing my face full of cheddar, beer, mustard pull apart bread for a couple of years now and I highly recommend you try it. If you’re in the Tampa area (and if the temperature ever drops below sweltering) we should get together and nosh.
omg.
also, who knew beer went so well with fall? so many soups/beers/good things to eat warm when it’s chilly outside!
You can use beer to brine turkey, how’s that for fall-ness. ;)
yes, this please.
Mmmm good timing!
I just made a version of Welsh Rarebit for dinner. I made a small 2 portions: melt 60g cheddar in about 10ml of blonde beer, add a bit (1/4 tsp ish) mustard and a few dashes of worcestershire sauce (better yet, Henderson’s relish if you are lucky enough to live in Yorkshire), some pepper. Pour over 2 slices of bread topped with 2-3 slices of ham in an oven safe dish and bake for a bit until it gets bubbly.
Side salad makes it a very filling dinner for a chilly night. Also, you’re left with a beer to finish. :)
my dad likes to make bratwursts boiled in beer and its soooo good like all you need to do is boil the beer in a pot and once it stops foaming stick the brats in for a bit (idk how long he said about until its cooked) then grill it. i recommend it ?
Came for beer bread and to see if a Beeroness recipe would pop up because BEERONESS.
Well done Carolyn.
If y’all liked the look of those 28 recipes she rounded up, go browse the Beeroness website. Your mind will be blown and expanded.
For example did you know you could make and ice cream float with beer? I didn’t.
I haaate beer almost as much as I hate mayo, but one day I ended up with Abita Amber and needed to do something with it because industriousness anti-waste streak, thus I learned of beer bread and stumbled upon well y’know.
Mind expanded.
Oooh beer bread advice time
Melt a little bit of butter (or some kind of mild fat) and pour it over the top of your bread in the loaf pan before putting in the oven. Makes the top all golden-y and crisp, but not too crisp.
If you’re adding a fruit consider dried fruit and no matter what kind of fruit try to keep in in the middle by putting half the dough in, the fruit, and then the rest of the dough.
Folding fruit into the dough like it’s chocolate chip cookies creates the potential for an irritating clean up and sometimes hard removal.
Also delicate fruit poking through on top can get burnt to a smelly, fire alarm tripping, smokey crisp.
So if you want to avoid that, keep the fruit in the middle y’all.
OMG. And Jamie Oliver’s beer-butt chicken –> http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/chicken-recipes/beer-butt-chicken/
It is the best (and also easiest) roast chicken ever. Unless is beer-butt chicken a really obvious thing that all Americans do? Have I just done the cooking-with-beer equivalent of “omg. if you drink it, it tastes real good. #youguys”
(I only ask because I note that the recipe comes from Jamie’s American, and have had a few other friends independently tell me that beer-butt chicken was a super American thing to do.)
Suggestion: salted caramel recipes and things, as I’m currently obsessed!
