There’s nothing like a cold beer on a hot day, but any other time of the year, you’re more likely to find me with a spirit in my hand than a lager. But for those who love knocking down pints of ales, stouts, and malts, you might want to take a look at all the other things you can do with your beer.

Introducing the vast world of cooking with brews…get ready, because this is going to change your world.

1. This marriage of beer, cheese, and pulled chicken is a good way to start off.

11. I want all of this beer braised pulled pork. Right now.

12. Winter may be over but that doesn’t mean you can’t still make this beer braised beef stew.

13. Throw some brie, cheddar, apples, and beer into a pot and you make a beyond delicious soup.

16. Brittle is good. Brittle with bacon is better. Brittle with bacon and beer is the best.
