At this time of the year, don’t miss on the wonderful combination of football–American or European–beer, and grilling. It all comes together in the article by Suzanne Hall, “Beer Meets Grill: How to Spice Up Your Pre-Game Party.” She features one her favorite chefs, Kent Rathburn: “Recently, Rathburn has added a new flavor dimension to his grilling. He’s discovered that beer, long a staple at backyard cookouts and pre-game parties, is not just something to sip while waiting for the food to cook, but a versatile ingredient that can add a unique flavor to grilled foods.” Here is Rathburn’s recipe for a spicy, beer-based marinade for meats:
