****************
"The perfect drink for the smoky flavors of grilled foods and BBQ is craft beer. And not just mass-market lawn-mower lagers, either. From the citrusy quenching of weissbier to the roasty flavors of porter and stout, there’s a spectrum of beer tastes.

Why use beer in a BBQ sauce?

First and foremost, flavor. Beer is much less acidic than wine, vinegar or citrus juices commonly used in BBQ sauces and marinades. It will tenderize meats without breaking down texture as rapidly as more powerful acids. Also, the balanced flavor in beer means that the other herbs and spices will not be overwhelmed by acetic notes.

Second, beer is less expensive than wine. It’s possible to use a very fine quality ale to make more than a quart of marinade, and still spend less than .

Third, the variety in North American beer styles encourages experimenting in the kitchen. From apricot ale to witbier, there’s a flavor that matches a meat, chicken or seafood sauce destined for the grill.

Fourth, drinking beer with BBQ — especially dark beer such as porters and stouts — defuses potentially dangerous HAAS (heteroclyclate aromatic amines), according to the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry."

Coming October 2018: “The Beer Kitchen”

Some cool cookbook images:

Coming October 2018: “The Beer Kitchen”
cookbook
Image by Thomas Cizauskas
The Beer Kitchen: the art & science of cooking, & pairing, with beer
☞ by British beer writer Melissa Cole
Announced 27 July 2018.

**************
I don’t usually post adverts, but here are five reasons I’ve done so.

1) cooking with beer
2) the science of cooking with beer
3) vegetarian recipes (accompanying those for carnivores)
4) cheese and beer
5) written by Melissa Cole

**************
▶ "I have a huge passion for beer and food matching, but I also love cooking with beer and hate bad science, so I’ve combined all those things to create a book that I sincerely hope will become spattered with grease, smeared with chocolate and get generally battered (but hopefully not deep fried!) through use.

I believe there’ll be something for nearly everyone in there, and I’ve tried to keep it really accessible by breaking it down into four different sections: So Simple, Some Effort, Show Off and Say Cheese.

Inside you’ll find a wide range of options from dishes for dedicated carnivores, to vegetarian & vegan recipes, to sweet-toothed temptations and some more refined dishes, that take beer beyond the dull and cliched ‘dude food’ arena."

*************
▶ Read more at Ms. Cole’s blog, "Taking the Beard Out of Beer!".
▶ "The Beer Kitchen" will be published in October 2018, in the U.K. but will also available for pre-sale in the U.S., via Jeff Bezos, err, Amazon.
