Introduction
The love of beer literally flows through my veins.
Not only do I drink it and cook with it, but I also stand on the shoulders of a legacy that reaches back almost a century and a half to a great-great-grandfather who brewed this liquid gold with little more than wholesome, earthy ingredients and fresh mountain spring water. And one of my favorite places to be in the world will always be at a bar on a Friday night, with a beer bottle in one hand and something to eat in the other, music cranked, and a circle of friends laughing all around me-that's life at its best!
The Ultimate Beer Lover's Happy Hour raises the ultimate toast to beer at its best by pairing the mouthwatering joy of bar food with an eternal tap of brews for you to enjoy and indulge in anytime you want right in your own home. With more than 325 easy food and drink recipes, and over 1,000 related suggestions for using traditional, seasonal, and craft beers, this book demonstrates how pairing and cooking with a brewski have become versatile and buzz-worthy art forms anyone can master.
For starters, "The Midas Touch: Beer's World Tour through History" explains the backstory on the world's most famous and beloved drink-one that we humans have been consuming for centuries. This section will give you the lowdown on what all the fuss is really about when it comes to beer and will change the way you look at this culinary icon, especially at mealtimes.
"The Ultimate Beer Lover's Pantry" and the "Beer Style Guide" sections, which are also in the beginning of this book, show seasoned home chefs, pint guzzlers, foodies, beer snobs, and first timers alike how to stock up on all the essentials to get cooking, drinking, and chowing down with beer. It's easy, and once you've stocked up, you'll be set to get your party on at any time!
Then, no matter the occasion, I've got you covered with all the ultimate comfort snacks and beer you and your friends could ever want.
In other words...welcome to Beer Town! You most definitely will enjoy your stay-in fact, with this book in hand, you now never have to leave. Handfuls of Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Bar Nuts and Alehouse Agave & Chipotle Mixed Nuts, Dilly Lime Thyme Pretzels, Marinated Olives at the Tap, and snacks from The Tavern Chips Bar and The Pub Crawl Popcorn Bar will make sure all your days and nights get lit with fun and flavor. As will Friday night—inspired party starters like Bar Top Poppers, Deep-Fried Dills, What a Jerky!, Cheesy Speakeasy Sticks, and crispy, golden nuggets from The Deep-Fried Veggie Basket and The Roadhouse Fries Bar.
Party time will be brew-charged with spicy-to-sweet selections from The Game Day Sauce Bar, The Party Salsa Bar, and The Hoppy Hummus Bar, along with Guac 'n' Roll and other spirited dips like Plastered Pimiento Spread and Spiked & Spicy Cheddar Spread.
For heartier tapas, serve up Potato Skins Stuffed with Chiles, Tomatoes & Green Onions; Avocado & Onion Quesadillas; Greasy Spoon Grilled Cheese Sandwiches; Taproom Tacos with Green Sauce; and Bruschetta Brewski; or selections from The Slaw Platter; The Mash Up! Platter; and The DIY Kebab Bar, with offerings like Worcestershire & Peace Marinade, Brown Sugar & Spice Marinade, and Brew & BBQ Marinade. Or head straight to The Beer & Pizza Bar and The Beer & Burgers Bar, where everything you know about pizza and burgers gets taken to a whole new level of tipsy gratification.
Plus, to ensure every bite is indeed happy, all the dishes are paired with your choice of brew styles-Altbier, American Pale Ale, Barley Wine, Belgian Abbey Dubbel & Tripel, Brown Ale, India Pale Ale, Kölsch, Rye Beer, Saison, Amber Lager, Doppelbock, Dunkel, India Pale Lager, Maibock, Oktoberfest, Pale Lager, Oatmeal and Russian Imperial Stouts, American Wheat Ale, Dunkelweizen, German Hefeweizen, Chili Beer, Fruit Beer, Herb/Spiced Beer, smoked Rauchbier, and many, many more. So whatever your pint of preference, you'll be able to find it here.
Also, for a round of thirst-quenchers no one will forget, chapters 6 to 10 offer endless inspiration via beer-infused mixed drinks, chuggers, shots, shooters, chasers, punches, and even floats and shakes. The names speak for themselves-Buzzy Navel, Hootinanny Sunrise, Red-Headed Mary, Daredevil's Brew, Skip & Go Naked, Dive Bar Mimosa, Eeking Monkey, Beertini, Under the Table Daiquiri, Sweet Home Amaretto, Depth Charge, Jäger Beer Bomb, The Rebel's Yell, Barroom Blitz, Sake Boom Boom, Atomic Diva, Hoot & Holler, Drunken Leprechaun, Citrus Sunsation, Gin Mill & Ginger Punch, Beach Party Punch, Strawberry & Ale Float, Chocolate Beershake, and Vanilla Cream Ale Float. And there are so many more where those came from.
It all really comes down to what one of my best friends always says: "BEER = FUN!" Perhaps no truer words have ever been spoken. And that's exactly what this bar-in-a-book is all about-beer, great food, friends, laughter, and fun.
Like the immortal Cheers bar anthem says, "Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came." Well, my friend, you've come to the right place!
