One of my all-time favorite summer dinners is a hot dog. But after trying a few recipes, you might want to switch things up. Nothing's better than a hoppy hot dog to enlighten the taste buds.

Ingredients

8 hot dogs
4 bottles of Bell's Brewery Two Hearted Ale
Centennial hops

Directions

Add 2oz of Centennial hops to 2 bottles of Bell’s Two Hearted Ale in a medium sized pot for 2 hours.

Cover in plastic or aluminum foil for 2 hours and place in the refrigerator.

After two hours, remove the hot dogs and add to a new pot.

Add 2 new bottles of Bells Two Hearted Ale to the pot. No hops should be added at this point.

Bring beer to a slight boil and add hot dogs. Boil hot dogs for 10 minutes.Remove from the pot and serve with or without a hot dog bun.
