The New Trend: Cooking With Craft Beer

The craft beer industry has exploded in recent years. With so many different types and styles of beer available, it is no wonder that people are choosing to cook with them! The best part about cooking with craft beer is that you can use whatever type of dish you want and the flavour will always be amazing.

Craft beer is a term used to describe brews that are made by small, independent breweries. Craft beer in London or elsewhere around the world is typically made with high-quality ingredients and contain fewer preservatives than their big brand counterparts. The craft brewing industry has grown in recent years as people have become more conscious of what they eat and drink. These brewers focus on creating new flavours and styles which makes for a fun culinary experience!

Craft beer is made using a variety of ingredients and flavours, some including fruit or spice. The typical colour of a craft beer is lighter than the mass-produced brands which can come in many different shapes and sizes such as cans, bottles, kegs or growlers. Craft beers are not available nationwide like their major brands competitors but are making headway in this aspect due to their increasing popularity.

This type of beer is extremely popular in the culinary world. It has been used to create recipes for everything from pizza crusts and ice cream, to eggs benedict and bacon wrapped scallops. In addition to flavour enhancement, it also adds a lot of juiciness to meats - this is due largely in part because the malt sugars caramelize when cooked with high heat. When you cook with craft beer, you won't have to worry about preservatives so much because most brewers make these types of brews without them; instead opting for healthier ingredients. A perfect example of this would be meatballs made by adding a can or bottle of your favourite brew into the mixture! The end result will have an added depth of flavour that you won't find anywhere else thanks to those sugary malts!

So, how do you cook with craft beer?

Well, it's not as difficult as you might think. You can either use the beer to enhance a dish or cook with it! The most common way of cooking with craft beer is to add some in at the end of your recipe for flavour enhancement and juiciness. We recommend adding no more than one cup (or 12 oz) in order to avoid overwhelming flavours, especially if this is your first time trying out this technique. You can also substitute half of any liquid ingredient called for by using craft beer instead; just make sure that there are equal parts when doing so. This includes liquids such as water, broth and oils.

The different styles of craft beer in London can add a new dimension of flavour to your cooking, from the light and refreshing Belgian Witbier to the rich and nutty Porter.

Some dishes made with craft beer are:

To get started with cooking using craft beer, find a craft brewery that is close to you or that sells their products near your home and experiment by cooking different dishes using one type of their beers for each session. Try pairing sweet treats like bread puddings made with pumpkin spice mix or chocolate chip brownies cooked from scratch with nut butter into peanut butter together

Since craft beers are gluten free, they are the perfect choice to use in cooking. Many people think that beer contains gluten because it is made from grain, but this is not true. The only time you should be worried about cross contamination with gluten is when cooking something like brownies or bread where there will inevitably be flour and yeast on your hands after touching them. In these cases, make sure to wash your hands before handling anything else so as to avoid any unwanted side effects of having exposure to what could potentially have a small amount of wheat.

Craft beer has many health benefits as well, including antioxidants, which are essential for building healthy cells. They also have a high-water content and is low in calories, both of these factors will help you maintain your weight.

It's always fun to learn about new ways that craft beer can be used in addition to drinking it straight down. The different brands of craft beer in London, which have their own unique and exciting flavours, are many. These include Habesha Beer, Hackney Hopster, Shoreditch Blonde and many more. With all of these options, you're never going to run out of ideas on what to cook next!
