beer

Beer is one of the oldest and the most widely consumed alcoholic drinks in the world.
Beer is one of the oldest and the most widely consumed alcoholic drinks in the world. It is produced by the brewing and fermentation of starches, mainly derived from cereal grains (commonly malted barley, though wheat, maize (corn), rice, and oats are also used). During the brewing process, fermentation of the starch sugars in the wort produces ethanol and carbonation in the resulting beer. Most modern beer is brewed with hops, which add bitterness and other flavours and act as a natural preservative and stabilizing agent. Other flavouring agents such as gruit (a herb mixture), herbs, or fruits may be included or used instead of hops.
When beer is distilled, the resulting liquor is a form of whisky.

    Recipe West Indies style beef stew with porter

    I was going to make a classic British beef stew but then I spotted a bottle of Guinness ‘West Indies porter’, which inspired this dish. If you really can’t take the heat leave out the Scotch bonnet. However, if you use it whole (pierced with a sharp knife), it releases a gentle heat and a...

    Recipe Sticky onion & beer gravy

    This gravy is great with ‘bangers and mash’ but it would be good with other meats or braised tofu ‘steak’ for a vegan meal. The ‘sticky’ derives from 'all American' grape jelly (kindly posted to me by my lovely American friend). Its difficult to obtain in the UK. You could substitute redcurrant...

    So what is needed to make a pretzel vegan? Well the first thing is to switch out the milk and butter. Easily done.
