Yield: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1/4 cup stout or porter
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 1 tomato, thickly sliced
  • 4 leaves, bibb lettuce
  • 1 cup Beer, Bacon & Onion Jam
  • 1/2 cup Hop Mayo
  • 4 Spent Grain Burger Buns, toasted

Directions

  1. Simply-made or indulgently complicated, a good burger can come in a slew of mouth-watering iterations. But one thing's for sure: It's best served with a cold beer. We've taken our love for the classic combination of burgers and beer to the next level by stacking a stout-spiked patty with some of the most beer-filled and burger-ready recipes around.
  2. Sprinkle ground beef with salt, pepper and cayenne. Form into four loosely packed patties. Using your thumbs create a shallow well in the center of each patty.
  3. Heat your grill or skillet to medium-high. When hot place patties, indent-side up. Pour a couple spoonfuls of beer into each well. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, flip, and cook for 3 minutes more. Add cheddar and let melt over heat, about 1 minute.
  4. Slather toasted Spent Grain Burger Buns with Hop Mayo, stack patty, tomato, lettuce and a generous amount of Beer, Bacon & Onion Jam (we like it to almost look like there are two patties). Enjoy.

Breakfast Beer Popovers

These popovers made with your favorite barrel-aged beer are easy enough to make pre-caffeine and travel well if you need to send anyone to work or school with something to eat. These can be served drizzled with maple syrup or smothered in homemade pesto. They're even better when served with an oak-aged pale ale or ESB.

Brewer’s Flatbread Pizza with Bacon & Sour Cream Topping

Depending on which toppings you use, pairing this pizza with different beers will make all the flavors shine. The sweetness of the honey and tomatoes would work nicely with everything from a crisp pilsner all the way to a hoppy IPA. If you go with the bacon topping, you could pair a hoppy red or go with an IPA to cut through the fattiness of the bacon and sour cream.
