Wow, cooking with beer?! Who would've thought?

I have gotten to the point where I cook fewer meals without beer than with. I just haven't figured out a way to gte them to contribute to my omelettes.

ChewbaccaJones: I just haven't figured out a way to gte them to contribute to my omelettes.

Uh, hello? Do the words "Bratwurst Omelette" mean nothing to you?

I forget what eight was for - Genius

It's to early in the morning to be navigating such terrible grammar.

11) Make goggles

a guy I worked with years back went on vaca to Hawaii and while there was told that beer can be the best sun tanning oil you can use (for getting dark, not protecting you from UV rays)

anyone ever test this out or hear similar?

/for all the times I thought of his story I just couldn't justify puring a beer that I had dragged with me to the beach over my body

2. Help grass grow easier - pour beer on those irritating brown spots on your lawns to help your grass grow. The grass absorbs the nutrients, sugar and energy it needs to be able to grow.


Apparently it's got what plants crave.

The only unexpected thing on that list was number 10.

10 is so unexpected

Is it just me, or is #10 not so "unexpected"?

I still think you'd have a hard time explaining why you were burying containers of beer in your garden. I don't care how soft it makes your skin, bathing in beer is for hobos and Courtney Love. Oh and you owe me another unexpected use, I've been drinking beer for years.

Let's face it- it's a magical beverage.

Dammit.

There is no such thing as an unexpected use for beer. It can do anything.

I thought plants craved White Castle hamburgers

I read Polish Gold as to mean Gold from Poland. And it actually made sense.

Only when they've been drinking.

I counted only 8.

/slow not news day?

Once when i was insanely drunk i took a shower in keg beer. I do not suggest doing it. I woke up in the morning with a sticky, smelly, horrible feeling all over.

If only Ron Paul made a beer, everyone would drink it.

These lists never fail to disappoint.

Now I crave White Castle hamburgers.

Chariset: Polish gold - Wet a piece of cloth with some beer and start rubbing your gold (no stones) to get the shine back.

is that what they're calling it these days...

funny stuff people.

easynerd - correct...

Beer can make a man a superhero and a woman goddess...

I didn't expect #10 to be on the list, thereby validating its inclusion on the list.

Ha ha, I won.

8. Polish wood furniture - Let some beer sit until it goes flat, then, dampen a washcloth with it, and rub your wooden furniture. This will polish it, and give it a more shiny and healthy look.

People actually let beer sit around until it goes flat???!?!?!?!

"Especially when you don't want to throw away any extra beer you have."

What the @%#$ are they talking about? Who has extra beer that they throw out?

Could someone explain #3?

Kill slugs & snails - Fill containers or wide-mouthed bottles or something of the sort with beer about a quarter to half way up. Then bury these in your garden. The slugs or snails will be attracted to them and drown.


Am I supposed to leave the opening above the soil line? Because to me, buried means underneath the dirt.

What are those god damn pollocks doing rubbing beer on their gold?

Who actually HAS extra beer? Didn't know such a thing existed.

Pussies

Using it to "polish wood" is only possible if you've been recently dumped and cruising porn on the internet whilst alone.

Would someone please define "extra beer" for those of us who are having a hard time understanding this concept?

1. Soak bratwurst in beer overnight.
2. Go to a BBQ
3. Everyone will want to have your babies.

I use it on my hair (old flat stuff - the good stuff's for drinking). It really is fantastic for your skin - but you smell like a frat house for a couple hours. Well, a frat house minus the urine and BO.

Yup, drown mice.

I did this with my homebrewing. The scent attracted the mice & they jumped in the blow-off reservoir, drowned. Hence my Dead Mouse IPA.

Good news is by setting up traps, I attracted all the mice & killed them (about 6). Cleaned up the house of vermin pretty well.

This is why breweries have lots of mice/rats & I am often reluctant to eat anything at a brewpub that wasn't cooked thoroughly!

Yes, unfortunately it was so soft and tender I couldn't get it in.

I use this to marinate London Broil every Christmastime. It is seasonal now:



IN general, stout makes an excellent beef marinade.

IPAs good for chicken/fish.

Rauch/smoke beers ~ good for damn near ANYTHING!

#1: This guy is the George Washington Carver of beer.

#2: Bathing in beer is appealing, but something tells me that there are places on your body where yeast exposure is not a good thing

/hates slugs

Bury the container so that the lip is just above the surface. Alternately pile woodchips up to the edge. You need to give the slugs room to "smell" the beer and then get to it.

/boss does this and swears by it.

/Do not approve.
