Beer--Not Just for Drinking

Cathy Pelekakis
Okay, I know that every guy out there just loves his beer, and some women too, a nice cold beer on a summer's evening is really refreshing. But did you know that you could do other things with beer other than drinking it?

- Try cooking with it, take a six pack of beer, a couple to drink and a couple to use, take a whole chicken, take one of the beers that you have started to drink, cut the can in half, slide the beer can inside the chicken and set the chicken and the can on the barbeque, when the chicken is roasted it will fall over like one of those drunken people we see leaving the bars late at night. The chicken tastes great too.

- We like to have steamed shrimp,mussels or steamed crabs during the summer, winter, fall sring, you name the time of year and we enjoy the catches from the ocean. Put a half a can of beer in the bottom of the steamer mixed with water, place your tray on the steamer, season to taste, make sure you use a lot of Old Bay, best way to steam crabs, steam for around fifteen minutes and enjoy your meal. Make sure you have a couple of cold ones waiting while you eat.

- Use the beer as a hair rinse, mix two cups of beer with one cup of warm water, rinse your hair after you shampoo and towel dry, it makes your hair shinny and feel clean

- If you have a touch of dandruff, you can add a little bit of the beer to your shampoo and it will get rid of the dandruff flakes

- Best of all you can drink beer inmoderatin of course, one or two a day will help to reduce strokes, vascular disease and heart problems.

    I haven't tried to cook the drunk chicken yet, it sounds yummy. By the way, that comment about the rice below me sounds awful. LOL . I wonder if she was serious? Great tips thanks

    I love grilling chicken or bratwurst with beer. I have to admit, my favorite use for beer is still to drink it! :)

  • Laura Lond2/22/2008

    I like cooking bratwurst in beer. I have heard about the chicken-on-beer-can recipe but never tried it. Sounds intresting!

    You can do a lot with beer. That is neat. I knew about the cooking aspect of it, but didn't know much about the rest of the uses for beer.

    Great information. Beer also is great for making your grass greener.

    Makes me think of summers at the lake & beer bratwurst! Great article.

    I never heard of the topical uses of beer outside of food. Wow, it's like someone is trying to convince me to say yes to a Heineken next time the waiter asks me. Very interesting.

    Lots of great things to do with beer, however still best to drink it...
