Preparation

Step 1

Add either beef, chicken, or pork to this mixture and let marinade at least 4 hours (ideally overnight) in the refrigerator before grilling.

​

The use of different styles of beer or ales will produce wonderfully different flavors. I recommend trying not only lagers (your standard beer), but also English Ales, Stouts, etc. Each time you marinate substitute a different one for variation.
My favorite so far is Rahr & Sons "Ugly Pug" a black lager brewed in Ft. Worth, Tx.
