32 Things to do with Beer (umm, maybe)

Men’s Health wrote up a list of 32 things you can do with beer. It turns out that you can do most of these things with water, or just about any liquid. As a matter of fact, many of these things would be a waste of good beer, so if you want to put out a fire with beer, make sure it is a Miller High Life.

The list, obviously, was written to entertain. But some of them are of real interest, like the beer barbecue sauce recipe. Sounds good to me…

MAKE BEER BARBECUE SAUCE
Ingredients:
1 medium Spanish onion, diced
1 medium banana pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp capers
5 ripe tomatoes, diced
1 small can tomato paste
1/3 c each wine vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp each Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, honey, Dijon mustard, horseradish, oregano
2 Tbsp fresh ground pepper
1 tsp cumin
Dash of ground clove
12 ounces amber ale or porter

Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and boil for 10 minutes. Lower heat and simmer about 4 hours until thickened. Cool and refrigerate for 24 hours so the flavors can meld. Then baste everything but the dog with it.
