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…
Pasta and craft beer are two of my favourite things, so combining them in this creamy chicken pasta felt like a natural fit. This recipe actually came together while using up a few ingredients I had on hand—some vegetables, chicken, a bit of cream, and of course a good craft beer. The result was a simple, flavourful pasta dish that comes together in about 30 minutes, making it a great option for a quick weeknight dinner.
We bought this Cosmic Autumn Ryebellion Red Rye IPA beer in the fall and used it to make this Red Rye IPA Mushroom Ragu recipe back in the fall as well. Now that it is basically spring, and this was an autumn beer, the beer is out of production for the season. But really, you can use any kind of beer you would like for this recipe, and actually an IPA will make the mushroom ragu more bitter than one…
Gose beer is one of those beers that is meant to be enjoyed on a hot summer day. It is refreshing, sweet and sour, and light. It also works perfect when steaming mussels! Basically, any recipe you have for mussels that calls for white wine, replace with a gose beer and you have Gose Beer Steamed Mussels! Easy, tasty, and fun! I made mussels on Chews and Brews a long time ago – two versions in one post, both made…
Oatmeal Stout Oatmeal Cookies… I know… not entirely creative. While I was sitting back enjoying Ghost Train Oatmeal Stout from Hell’s Basement brewery, I immediately thought of oatmeal cookies. And creativity aside, I decided to just make the best damn oatmeal cookies I could using this thick, roasty beer.
