STORY AND PHOTOGRAPHY
BY K ATIE CRENSHAW
Cooking with beer and
wine is almost as fun as
drinking it!
In the past, you may have used a
splash of red wine in making spaghetti
sauce or added a dark brew to enhance
the flavor of a chocolate cake. For this
issue, I've curated these special recipes
to explore other ways in which beer
and wine can make an appearance in
the kitchen.
My family is from Wisconsin.
Besides the Green Bay Packers,
Wisconsin is known for beer, bratwurst
and cheese. In the following recipe,
you'll learn how to cook amazing brats.
First, I briefly grill them to crisp the
skin.
en I cook them long and slow in
the Crock-Pot to allow the flavors of
the onions and beer to absorb. Brats
can handle a strong beer flavor so this
is an opportunity to cook with one of
your favorite local cra beers. I used an
IPA made by Dirtbag Ales, a brewery
on Legion Road. is beer has strong
hoppy characteristics that complement
the brats really well. If you are not big
on beer, but still want to try it when
you cook brats, I suggest using a light
beer.
