Prep Time: 25 minutes | Yield: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 Tbsp coconut oil or olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp yellow curry powder
  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, pealed and cubed
  • 1.5 cups vegetable broth
  • 1.5 cups coconut milk (light or full fat)
  • 1.5 cups coconut porter
  • 8 cups fresh spinach
  • 15.5 oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Directions

  1. To make this coconut porter curry, heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add in the onions and garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook them for 2-4 minutes until they are soft.
  2. Next, add in the curry powder and sweet potatoes and give everything a good stir. Cook for 2 minutes and then add in the broth and coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper and stir. Turn the heat up to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once you reach a boil, bring to a simmer over low heat.
  3. Pour in the beer, cover, and let simmer for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Once the potatoes are cooked, puree everything until very smooth with an immersion blender or regular blender (if using a regular blender, work in small batches and use a towel to cover the lid).
  4. Return the soup to the pot if you used a normal blender. Give the soup a taste and season one last time as needed. Stir in your spinach and chickpeas and serve! You can also freeze this soup and enjoy it at a later day for a quick meal.

Burgers with Smashed Avocado & Beer-Battered Onion Rings

I usually go for red onions over white or yellow for these thin, crispy, beer-battered onion rings. I love the extra sweet-pungent wallop of acid that red onions carry. I also find that they hold their form better when heated, becoming tender-crisp instead of watery or limp. Naturally, keep some extra chilled pilsner or helles on hand for serving alongside.

Fishing out the mussels, making a mess while drinking craft beer and having great conversation is a fantastic way to spend the evening.

Cinnamon-Dusted Pork Tenderloin with Chocolate Stout Mole

Recipe author Brandon Hernández says the dried fruit, caramel, nutmeg and subtler chocolate notes of abbey dubbels, specifically The Lost Abbey’s Lost and Found Ale, pair exceptionally well with this dish. Another obvious pairing would be the chocolate stout you use to create the mole, which would emphasize the chocolate flavors even more.
