Beer Cheese Soup rocks!

It's worth a try, Sarah.

And remember, when cooking with any beer, spirits or wine, all of the alcohol gets cooked off.

Yeah, that's the part that sucks. Lol. I like the flavor that adding beer and wine to cooking adds. My favorite is to cook whatever meat I'm using with carrots, onions and wine. Wonderful flavor.

LOL! Well if you saw my video, you will see why it cooking off is quite alright!

Yup, red wine and beef roast...

I know that cooking the beer takes all the alcohol content out of it but I would probably still get drunk off it. LOL I do not do any alcohol. LOL

You cook with it...I'll just kick back and drink it. No sense wasting the good alcohol content without letting it catch you a buzz.

Technically, not all the alcohol gets burned off but 99% of it does, or something like that. I adore using alcohol in recipes - I use wine as often as I can, beer less often. I used to love drinking it and always had a bottle or two in the refrigerator. That has changed a bit in the last few years. It is wonderful in chili and stews.

You took the wors right out of my mouth Jonathan. The BF has a T-shirt that says that.

I need to go look at the beer cheese soup and the beer bread.

The only thing I use beer for is on the brats and sausages.

Thank you for posting this to Gather Recipe Review! I'm not a beer fan, but cooking with it just makes things taste better. I had beer battered onion rings that were killer!
