I'm trying to work up the gumption to do some cooking.
I have a fridge full of beer, but I'm not a beer drinker. I was talking to an old friend who said he loves to put beer in pot roast, which made me think it might be pretty good in some chicken stew.
My ingredients:
Chicken
Onions
Carrots
Celery root
Salt
My beers:
Sunset wheat
Berry weiss
Honey weiss
Pale ale
Adirondack Lager
The first three are Leinenkugel. The last two are Saranac.
(I'm not too inclined to use the berry weiss, since berries and beer and stew sounds a tad wretched.)
So, is it a good or bad idea to put the beer in and, if it's a good idea, which beer?
