Why Cook With Beer?

Why should you cook with beer? Well, there are a lot of reasons, but here are just a few…

Batters:

When beer batter is heated it releases bubbles of carbon dioxide. This is great for batters because it makes for a light, crispy crust.

Marinades, Bastes and Brines:

In marinades, brines and bastes, the alcohol in the beer is able to penetrate meat better than other liquids. This allows it to carry flavour deeper into the meat.

Flavour:

It is as simple as that. Beer adds flavour. Depending on the variety, beers can have smokey, sweet, bitter, acidic, or a combination of flavours.

In addition to the flavour of the beer itself, the alcohol in beer is able to dissolve essential oils and other organic compounds that are not soluble in water. Once dissolved, the flavours are more available to your senses of smell and taste.
