Just curious if anyone has some good recipes that use beer.

Or, some of the benefits of having a beer.

Or, what's your favorite beer and why.

Beer Brats:

Ingredients:

1 dozen brats

Beer, to cover

1 medium large sweet onion

2 ounces (1/2 stick) butter

Directions:

Place brats in a Dutch oven with onions and butter, cover the brats with beer. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer until brats are cooked. Remove brats and set aside beer mixture. Grill brats until golden brown and return to beer mixture until ready to serve. Serve brats on fresh baked brat buns with sauerkraut, onions, green peppers, ketchup, and/or mustard.
I like to use Guinness or some kind of stout.

I will tell you something about beer. The other day I was in the most pain I have ever suffered, and no pain pills worked, and believe me, I have the strongest. Ice, or heat, or anything would not stop my pinched nerve from hurting. My wife and son started buying me beer at my request and after not sleeping for 3 days, I drank over 30 bears in one day and night, and I finally fell asleep. Thank God for beer. Since then, I have had a cervical epidural and my neck is much better, but I think I would have died without that tasty malted beverage called BEER.

Dang Mick. Sorry to hear about that, but glad beer and an epidural took care of it.
I'm actually not a big beer drinker, but sometimes it is a must.
To me, Summertime is Beer-Time.
Times that beer must be consumed:
1. At a baseball game.

2. At the beach.

3. While eating a hotdog.

4. Lounging at the pool.
And any combination of the above.
As far as beer in cooking, I definitely use it in chili. Laura uses it in several different things she used to make in the crock pot when she was a working mom with a kid in high school. Now he is off to college and I do 100% of the cooking.

I do think that it gives them a richer flavor and does great with the onions. I actually stole that from Bobby Flay on the Food Network website lol. I love that guy.
Kevin you should add while eating oysters to your list. In my opinion Apalachicola oysters are the only oysters to eat though.

Okay Lawrence I get the part about drink over discard, but please understand that chicken's butt only requires the cheapest swill you can find.
