There's nothing more boring than working yourself into a cooking rut. The same foods, the same ingredients, and the same tasks, over and over and over again. To blast yourself out of routine this season, why not try cooking with beer? 

3 Reasons to Cook with Beer

In case you need some convincing, here are three good reasons to try cooking with beer.

Reason 1: Cooking with beer is low-risk.

While serving people actual alcoholic beverages can lead to risks associated with overindulgence, cooking with beer eliminates these factors. Because the alcohol cooks away at high temperatures, you're left with beer drawing out the rich flavors of your other ingredients while guarding the safety of your patrons.

Reason 2: Cooking with beer can add versatility to your current favorites.

Cooking with beer doesn't always mean trying entirely new recipes. Sometimes it just means adding depth and texture to the dishes you already know and love.

Cooking with beer adds a deep, earthy flavor to savory dishes such as chili, soup, and stew; and a nutty, caramelized flavor to baked goods. It's great for just about every cooking technique, too: baking, braising, deglazing, battering, sauces, marinating, and simmering. (All Recipes)

No matter what you're making, there's probably a way to sneak in a little beer. Let the adventure begin!

Reason 3: Cooking with beer sparks creativity.

Once you start cooking with beer, you'll discover new vistas of culinary delight. Not only will you access entirely new lists of recipe possibilities, but it won't be long before the gears in your own head start turning. You'll be experimenting with beer and creating your own new recipes in no time. 

Say goodbye to the rut and hello to an exciting new future.
