COOKING WITH BEER

Chef Bill’s Guinness and Cheddar Soup

I wish I had that wall in my house - you know the one with Ninety Nine Bottles of Beer. I wonder how long it would last. I know I would eventually come up with ways to utilize it for more things than just drinking. I might try feeding it to my cows like the Japanese do in Kobe, but without the massaging; not my thing! However since I don’t have any Wagu cows hanging around my house and I spend most of my time cooking, I can combine the two and Chef Up my food with that excess brew.

Since the ancient Egyptians are credited as the as one of the first peoples to brew beer (the pyramids were originally designed to function as brew pubs) I’m sure they used it in their cooking.  A little beer and duck stew was probably a big favorite.
