What brand of beer would make good chili?

I'm going to make vegan chili at home. I can't tell you my secret recipe, but I'm thinking about using beer. What brand or type would work well? I don't drink very often, so I'm only going to buy a single bottle.|||Any dark beer will put alot of flavor in your chilli:





LAGERS





Dark Lagers - Brown, Black





I: Ayinger Altbairisch Dunkel, Beck鈥檚 Dark, Grolsch Dark, San Miguel Dark, Heineken Dark, St. Pauli Girl Dark





D: Michelob Dark, Sprecher Black Bavarian, Full Sail Black Pilsner, Dixie Blackened Voodoo, Capital Dark, Lakefront Eastside Dark





Bocks - Amber, Brown





I: Paulaner Salvator, Hacker-Pschorr Animator, Ayinger Celebrator, Spaten Optimator, Kulmbacher Reichelbr盲u, Eisbock, Park Primator





D: Sam Adams Double Bock, Paper City Goat鈥檚 Peak Bock, Full Sail Mercator Dopplebock, August Schell Dopplebock, Blue Ridge Sublimator Doppelbock, Crooked River Dopplebock





hope this list helps. good luck and enjoy.|||I'd go with a bock or stout over a lager or pilsner.|||Guinness, but good luck finding a single bottle. Try going into a locally owned liquor store, usually you can buy just one bottle if you talk to the staff.|||a common beer -michelob has been used in numerous places i've worked at , although i don't usually drink it i do use for sauting veal + in chili , it works quite well|||your fav beer is the best|||amber brock its a dark beer|||Since your adding it for flavor and all the alcohol will be cooked off, its best to use a beer you like. Since you don't drink very often you might want to start with something you like, like a light beer.|||corona|||that really dark lumberjack beer is preatty good for recipies i use it to make wassail|||Guiness|||something red,like killians red, red-dog, or hammerhead red.|||I'd go with Corona.|||Yep, the Amber Bock would probably work the best and be about the best of what you can buy in a single bottle. A Stout or a Pale Ale would work great also.|||any dark beer would be better than a standard beer.

How much beer/soda should I purchase for my wedding reception?

Hi all! I'm planning an outdoor wedding/reception on August 28th. We are expecting around 250 guests, and I have no idea how much beer and soda to provide for our guests!





The reception will be an evening pig roast (~6pm-midnight). Our caterer will be providing lemonade and coffee for our guests.





So my questions are: How many kegs of beer should we order for the reception? What kinds of beer should we get? How many 2-liters of soda should we get? And what kind of soda should we get?





I appreciate any and all suggestions :)|||depends on how much you expect people to drink, i would say you should buy around 15 cases of beer (of 24) and 35 sodas. if you think they are going to drink a lot buy 20 cases of beer and 50 sodas. you can always use the left over later.|||I usually use this calculator for when I throw parties without a caterer to determine such things





http://www.perfect-party-planning.net/dr鈥?/a>





As for types of beer, provide at least one light beer option, a large brand like budweiser and perhaps a seasonal brewery selection, such as something from Sam Adams





For soda, I wouldn't bother with 2 liters. They will end up costing more than if you rent a soda dispenser (including the cost of the soda!).|||All of this depends on how much your guests drink.





For the beer: Obviously, it depends on the size of glasses/cups you will be using. I suggest using the 12 oz. cups. There are online calculators that you can use to figure this out.





As far as the type. What is usually served where you live? Where I live, we always serve a regular and a "light". So, something like Michelob and Michelob Ultra, or Bud and Bud Light.





For the soda: Have some with caffeine (Coke or Pepsi) and some without (Sprite; 7-up, etc.)





Again, there are online calculators to figure this out.





One idea of what to do with all the soda. Again, where I live, we buy the small, hard plastic wading pool, like the one below and fill it with ice and put the soda in there:

If you are planning to serve any type of mixed drinks that require soda, you will need extra soda just for that.|||you should get 2x servings as much beer as the number of guests and 2x as much soda. that should average out okay.


and obviously get brand name soda (just get coke). maybe half regular and half diet.


oh and consider offering wine as an option as well.|||A regular sized keg contains enough for 200 glasses.





I figure most of the guests will have about 4 drinks - 2 beers and 2 sodas.





Good choices for sodas are Coke and Sprite or 7UP.

What are the legalities involving a Beer delivery service?

I'm going to start a 24 hour beer delivery service, so people won't have to drive to the store for more beer.





Do you think this will work?|||Hi, i think its a great idea, weve just got back from a day out and everywere is shut, just done a search in google and found one that does it, (see below) Good luck 2 ya x|||It is legal to offer a beer delivery service as long as you get an alcohol licence first from the local authority/council where your business will be based. In England %26amp; Wales you can apply for a 24 hour alcohol licence but in Scotland you can't.

|||Wow, great idea, but I bet its not legal. Talk to a lawyer or the state alcohol commision|||yeah, if you're sober enough to get behind the wheel....wouldn't want to have to clean splattered yak off the road!!! :)|||you would have insurance issues..|||It's a great idea, but you have to be very careful... hire a lawyer.


Do research, and not on yahoo answers... granted, these answers help, but always do your own research...Just ONE complaint for selling to underage kids can get you shut down.

What is a good brand of beer to cook with?

I'm making Beer Bread for a party this weekend and the recipe calls for 12 oz of beer, but doesn't specify a specific brand. Which ones are good for cooking with? Should I use a lite or regular?|||Use a light beer. The flavor is less intense.





Besides that its not really worth drinking. :-)|||Use any beer that you'd want to drink. Same with wine. Crap wine makes crap food.|||Just use a beer you would drink, I generally use Miller Lite or Michelaub Ultra.|||Regular is all you need.I cook with beer a lot and I use any thing cheap.It cooks out any way....|||Typically and medium bodied beer will do. I love beer bread and I love to cook with beer. I usually use what ever it is I'll be drinking that night. I like sam adams light personally. But any beer along that line will do.|||My favorite beer to cook with is Newcastle Brown Ale. It makes a great marniade base, too.|||When I was a chef in Canada, I actually like to use de-alcoholized beer, as there is a most intense beer flavour, plus being without alcohol it can be used in batter, breads and other cooking recipes and not have a lingering beer or alcohol flavour.





In the U.S, I would use O'Douls or the Budweiser brand, it also goes flat faster, Regular beer is to harsh and as the active yeast in it can change things, the theory that you use what you drink is old fashioned, as most people would not sacrifice a $40 bottle of wine to marinate flank steaks or make gravy for roast beef, use something you like or a generic product, there all the samen and you cannot tell after things are cooked anyways.





I have made a german beer and cheese soup many times with domestic and imported beers and non beer, and you cannot tell what has been used in the end.|||try something light. We did Heiniken once and it was too overpowering. I prefer drinking Corona but i never had it in a beer bread. Just stay away from the cheap stuff.|||sierra nevada pale ale








mmm good

How long does beer stay good for?

I know there is the born on date, but from that date how long is beer good for if kept refridgerated? Does can or bottle make a difference?|||Sam Adams brewery tells people on their brewery tour that a bottle is best in 6 months, and a keg is good for 3 months. It lasts longer than a keg becuase it is pasteurized. You can still drink the beer after 6 months, but the quality should start to dissapear|||About 6months, after that it will start to taste bad.|||In my house it keeps for about 1 hour|||Beer lasts better in a bottle than a can. There's usually a best before date on the label.|||um idk i dont drink (yet)|||Don't know. I have never had beer in the house long enough for it to go bad.|||usually it is best within the first 110 days but if you leave it opened it doesnt last for more than a couple of hours


1 tip can is better!!!!!!!!!!!|||I think it really depends on the kind of beer. I'm no expert, but I would think that beer can last up to a year after you buy it, maybe even longer. I have had some beer in my fridge and drank it a year or so later and it was fine.





As for the bottle/can issue, bottles seem to keep the foaminess better. I think the beer is colored glass keeps longer because it keeps the light out better, which I know can add to the fermentation process.





Best thing to do is drink it as fast as possible, that way you don't have to worry about things like this.|||I left a 6 pack of Rolling Rock in my mothers fridge when i moved out. 6 months later i took it home and drank it. It didnt seem different to me.|||I would have to say if kept refridegerated it will stay good for as long as its cold but never put warm beer back in fridge it will never taste the same.|||If there is a "Born-on" date that means that it is an Anheuser-Busch product. They typically taste the freshest before 110 days old.

How many cans of beer does it take to get you drunk?

In my opinion, I think beer is a waste of time. Just recently, I tried some beer and it got my feeling good. I just want to know how many cans of beer it takes to get you feeling good, and what your favorite kind of beer is. This is all just for fun.|||It depends. Some people are wasted after one beer, and some people can practically chug for hours without getting a buzz. It depends on if you've built up a resistance, body mass, age, etc.|||I haven't ever got drunk on beer. I have to drink beer really slowly b/c it is so filling. I have seen my friends chugging beer, and they can get tipsy on about 3 beers. I am doing good if I drink 1 beer in an hour, so I am probably metabolizing it faster than I can drink it.|||I am not a big fan of beer, prefer wine and if I do drink beer it is Guiness. To get drunk it is a function of gender, weight, and amount drank.|||In pints of beer (568 ml) at about 5-6% maybe 13 or 14. To be honest I don't really get drunk off beer, as you would feel quite sick drinking even 13 pints of water.|||It takes me two bottles of Stella Artois lager to feel buzzed.|||Usually 6-8 beers to get me intoxicated.|||I hate beer, but I can catch a pretty good buzz off of a six pack.|||Never drank beer to get drunk. Usually I'll have about 8 shots of whiskey throughout the night to feel good..|||11|||i like drinking budweiser 3 tall boys and im feeling good...

What causes root beer to foam when creating a float?

You put the vanilla ice cream in the glass first and then pour the root beer into it. Then it begins to foam upwards. Do you think that the sugar in the ice cream causes this to happen?|||the cold ice cream causes the soda molecules to become closer together and squeeze out some of the CO2. The CO2 bubbles dont pop once they reach the surface because they are lined with fat from the ice cream|||The carbination in the root beer is reacting with the proteins in the cream of the ice crean. The super cold protiens and the warm co2 enhanses the react that is why it doesnt occur as much if you put cold soda in warm cream.|||When you add the ice cream, you drop the temperature of the drink. The lowering of temperature makes it even more inhospitable for the great excess of gas molecules to remain in solution and you get more bubbles rising to the surface. The same effect happens when you add ice cubes, *except* that you don't see so much foam. In addition, some of the ice cream melts and "goes into solution," namely, it dissolves in the soda and can further displace gas molecules in solution.|||Root beer if good has Hops in it like beer does. so foam away with it!!!|||I don't know. I often wonder the same thing. I'm always overflowing my floats. I have 1-2 floats a day- no lie. I'm an addict. But, because I live in Korea there is no Rootbeer. I have coke floats.





sorry I couldn't be more help.|||Since the ice cream and the cup/glass are very different temperatures the bubbles of the foam are different sizes which causes the foam to increase is size, and therefore you have foam which is really just the foam of coke not vallila ice cream|||the fat content from the ice cream coating the bubbles prevents them from bursting sooner, so they stack up on eachother.


(it's like whipped cream, just trapping air bubbles in fat.)





!Alexiis|||The foam causes it to foam up.|||I think it is the combination of sugar, the CO2 and the fat from the icecream that makes the bubbles. That would make a good "Good eats" episode.|||perhaps it is because it is a carbonated beverage.
