5 IDEAL WAYS TO USE BEER ON THE BBQ

5 WAYS TO USE BEER ON THE BBQ

No longer is beer just for guzzling on a hot summer’s day. Yes, it’s so much more than just a refreshing accompaniment to BBQ food because it can be used in many parts of the BBQ cooking process. TV chef Jeremy Pang teamed up with Tsingtao (pronounced Ching Dow) to share his hot tips for using beer on the barbie. Enjoy beer lovers!

FLAVOURED WOODS CHIPS

Wood chips are the most versatile fuel for barbecuing because you can use them to add a variety of flavours to your food. Douse the chips in Tsingtao beer, light them when they’re almost dry and they’ll smoulder to give your food an added smoky taste.

MOP SAUCE

Mix 100ml Tsingtao Beer with 25ml dark soy sauce, the juice of a lime and a pinch of chilli flakes. The basting sauce can then be ‘mopped’ onto fish, meat or veggies regularly during cooking for a tasty kick.

BEER SPRAY

A maverick way to liven up a BBQ. Partially cover the top of an open bottle of Tsingtao with your thumb and shake the bottle to release a mighty mist of beer onto the food during cooking. The beer will caramelise giving an amazing flavour.

Or, if you’re keen to diversify the beer you’re using and spritz your own unique spin over proceedings, then why not brew your own beer for your spray? If you want a guide to home brewing beer, click here to learn more.

IDEAL DRINK PAIRING

We know that barbecues and beer go hand in hand, but don’t just reach for any old lager. Tsingtao Beer is crafted in China with Laoshan Mountain spring water and native rice, which gives the liquid a clean, slightly off-dry taste, making it an ideal palette cleanser and perfect accompaniment to barbecued food.

MARINADE

Marinade meat, fish or vegetables overnight in a mix of Tsingtao beer, honey, ginger, chopped spring onion and light soy sauce to add flavour depth and give a sticky coating to your barbecue food.

Tsingtao is brewed, bottled and imported from Quingdao, China – aka ‘Beer Town’ and available in all major supermarkets www.tsingtaobeer.co.uk.
