In the USA it is almost Thanksgiving, and who doesn’t love pickles on the Thanksgiving dinner table? Actually, pickles are good anytime of the year, in my opinion, especially these pale ale beer pickles. Adding beer to the pickle brine gives it a tang and hoppyness, yet allows the salty, garlicky flavours to still shine through. If you are looking for other Thanksgiving ideas, how about trying a beer brined turkey!? It would be the perfect way to present your…
Are you looking for a simple dinner that can be made on a busy work night? This saison beer sauteed chili shrimp recipe is so quick, it is now a staple in our house. Weeknights… weekends… lunch… it is a recipe appropriate for any time of the day. We will often saute meat and/or vegetables with chicken broth instead of oil to cut down on the fat, so I thought it would be just as good to saute in beer….
If you know me, you know I like to make simple dishes while using craft beer. One of the most simple ways that I have found to incorporate beer into a recipe is to use it to make a sauce. I made this stout beer cherry sauce using an Alberta porter beer from Theoretically Brewing, and used it to glaze a grilled pork loin. And you guys, it was so good! So good and so easy!! The recipe below is…
Everything we cook these days is on the grill. It is way too warm to be hunched over a stove or oven, inside a stifling hot kitchen. Instead, we sit outside, in the shade, throw food on the grill, and enjoy craft beers. Summer isn’t my favourite season (gasp!), but this is my favourite part about summer; grilling outside (or smoking!) and enjoying summer craft beers like IPAs, radlers, and wheat beers. And of course, if you don’t know by now,…
It is especially easy to turn a beer into a refreshing, boozy, summer cocktail. When I picked up the Patio Tart Cherry Ale, made by Medicine Hat Brewing Company, I loved the beer on its own, but thought immediately it would be perfect in a cocktail – and that is how the Cherry Lime Beer-Aid came to be! It is like a lime-aid with vodka and beer! Super simple to make, especially if you already have some simple syrup handy,…
Instead of a beer recipe post, I have put together a small round up to help you get grilling! Of course, some of these recipes in the roundup have beer in them, and all of them can be made on your barbecue, smoker, or campfire! 24 recipes from Chews and Brews and others to get you cooking outdoors this summer! And all of them are best enjoyed with your favourite local craft beer. Things are heating up in Alberta, which,…
It has been a while… almost a month. My computer was on the fritz and I couldn’t retrieve my photos, and it would have been weird to share a post with just words and a recipe, no photos, even if I am not a stellar photographer… photos are needed. So now that I have my photos back, I can share these tasty honey cream ale grilled drumsticks! Beer and barbecue go together so well, it is only natural for my…
I am very excited for this post, as it is my first recipe using a beer from a brewery that I actually visited! These pub snacks beer cookie squares are made with Folding Mountain Brewing’s Parkway Porter! On my birthday weekend Eric and I drove west of Hinton and visited this brewery for a couple flights and some food, and my parents ended up surprising me with a visit as well! I tasted every beer they had available (I just…
