Cooking with Beer: A Winning Formula

Brewpubs across the US, trendy European gastro-pubs and up-market eateries in many countries are all doing it: cooking with beer.

Beer is a versatile beverage that can add flair and flavor to simple dishes both sweet and savory.

The benefits of using beer as a staple ingredient in a wide range of recipes are well documented. Beer lends itself to many different food preparation techniques including marinating, deglazing, simmering, poaching, braising, stewing and baking.

From casseroles and fish recipes to cakes and desserts, your favorite brew can transform even the most traditional dishes.

Advantages of Cooking with Beer

The main benefits of cooking with beer are threefold:
- The hop content of beer adds bitterness and acidity.
- The malt content adds a subtle sweetness.
- The yeast content produces a light, fluffy texture especially good in batters. Yeast can also help to tenderize tougher cuts of meat. http://www.drinkfocus.com
