\"\"<\/a>Lots of us will be Barbequing with a beer in hand on the fourth of July – but how many of you plan to use that brew to\u00a0enhance the flavors of your meal?\u00a0 From glazing to basting to marinating –\u00a0a little beer goes a long way to liven up your BBQ.\u00a0\u00a0The simplest approach to cooking with beer would probably have to include the hot dog.\u00a0 I like to get a rich, flavorful Stout<\/a> and marinate brats in it for an hour or so, and then throw them on the grill.\u00a0 Brats don’t\u00a0generally absorb a lot of the beer while marinating, so I also use a flavor injector<\/a> to inject the Stout into the dogs as they cook.\u00a0 This keeps them moist for the entire duration they are cooking and the result is a deliciously juicy\u00a0beer brat with a hint of stout flavor.\u00a0 Yum.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Are\u00a0 brats a little too elementary for you?\u00a0 There are lots of other great recipes to choose from:<\/p>\n
