More than a pint of ale.

 

This lens brings you some of my favourite ways to use Real Ale in cooking. From the hearty steak and ale pie to homemade mustards there is something to suit everyone.

Cooking with Real Ale 

Using beer in cooking probably originated because the brewing process made it safer to drink than available water or milk (which was usually preserved as cheese). This readily available liquid could be easily added to most traditional recipes.

There is a beer to compliment almost every food type. Many Real Ales carry spicy flavours such as nutmeg and ginger, citrus fruit flavours and often chocolate or toffee. Indeed the caramel and roast flavours of many beers are compatible with a much wider range of food types than wines.

Real Ale Recipes For You To Try 

Hobgoblin Steak and Ale Pie
Having children in the house means that you are always looking for ways to make food a little bit more exciting in their eyes. Wanting to make a traditional steak and ale pie (as they serve it down the pub) I wanted something that would be easy and quick to prepare as well as something that would get their attention. Looking for ingredients I cam to choose a beer to use. The beer needed to be rich so I was drawn to the bottles of real ale on display . . . the rest as they say is history. I spotted a bottle of Hobgoblin Strong Dark Ale.
