Send us your recipe
Beer makes a great ingredient in many recipes that often call for water, stock or wine. Try it yourself, and after your guests rave about one of your recipes think about e-mailing it to us. We'll add ones we find worthy to our recipe list. Please look at the way we present the recipes and include a name for your creation.

Stout Spice Cake with Lemon Glaze
Onion and Garlic Beer Soup

Many who sell wine secretly admit that "death by chocolate" refers to how an assertive chocolate dish can overwhelm wine. Quite often, beer makes a perfect match.
