The best part about the summer, by far, is the opportunity to enjoy the warm weather, gather with friends, crack open a cold one from a local brewery (of which there are plenty in Austin!) and eat all those delicious summer recipes. Even if you’re not a drinker, a brew can add the perfect pop of flavor to a recipe. It might be a little too hot to gather outdoors here in Texas, but that doesn’t stop us from trying! The barbecues and the pot-lucks are the perfect time to try out that recipe that calls for your favorite brew as an ingredient. We’ve curated a list of four beer-inspired dishes we made and loved for you to add to your summer recipe box.
