    by Milena Perrine

    A round up of recipes with beer that are big on flavor and easy to execute. Including beer as ingredient in cooking is always exciting and we are going to make a habit of periodically presenting you with similar compilations,featuring the best of the best from our blogger friends.

    Slow Cooker Beer Pork Carnitas from Tasty Ever After

    We think that a malty brown ale will definitely be a great choice in this recipe.

    Beer Braised Beef Brisket our recipe, we use porter ale and balsamic and it is simply glorious.

    Earthy and malty flavors, herbal infusion and a mild black pepper bite folded into a rich, creamy broth.

      Holy friggin moly, thanks for including my nachos! Do you have a cookbook coming out with your beer garden recipes? If so, I need it in my life. I'd be the first to buy it. I want all of these recipes all up in my face. Literally drooling everywhere and making a big fat mess, but I'm loving every minute of it!
