Next to beer, nothing goes down better with a ball game than a spicy bowl (or two) of home-made chili. This one is a spicy, meaty version you can enjoy even if the Giants never made it anywhere near a playoff this season.

Meat has been consumed with beer since man first brewed alcohol from grains. A good idea never goes out of fashion. Meat cooked with beer is an even better idea, whether it’s beer-battered shrimp or beer-can chicken.

Have a sore throat? I’ve got the remedy – a nice steaming bowl of chicken soup, with beer as the secret ingredient of course.

I remember when I was a kid I’d come home from school on a cool autumn day and have a bowl of Macaroni and Cheese waiting for me on the table. So Mom didn’t make it from scratch (thanks to Kraft), but it still tasted good.

I experimented one morning with my sister and found that the pancakes with beer came extra fluffy and fruity without having to add fruits to the batter.

Camping and fishing go hand in hand. Since we’ll be frying, I suggest using a lager in your batter so it’ll give a deep golden color and a crisp crunchy flavor.

Beer Baked Beans – I like this recipe even more because it’s perfect for camping! This recipe can be cooked at the campsite or at home the day before.

Chicken Italiano – Juicy chicken roasting on the grill with some veggies – Mmm…I can smell it already!
