Beer-Braised Brisket with Root Vegetables
Beer acts as a tenderizer in this pot roast and adds a savory note to a sauce that complements the sweetness of the root vegetables.
Beer-Braised Sausages and Sauerkraut
We cooked our sausages and sauerkraut with the Oktoberfest beer that we're serving with the dish. Using a lager like this results in a deep, caramelized flavor.
Seasoned Oyster Crackers
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less, but requires additional unattended time.
Blue Cheese Dip
Drained nonfat yogurt—rather than mayonnaise or sour cream—provides the creamy texture. Start making this dip a day ahead, and try it with apple or pear slices.
Spiced Curly Tortilla Chips
This recipe was created to accompany Tomatillo Salsa . Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
Deep-Fried Broccoli and Carrots in Scallion and Caper Beer Batter
