Wheat for the salad, dark for the marinade
Especially in the warm season, the spicy dark of the grill marinade gives a particularly spicy aroma. To a pepper steak, for example, fits a sauce with bitter malt beer. And with a dash of wheat, the salad dressing is summery and tingling. According to other experts, however, one should pour no beer on the grilled meat, because the embers are stirred up and can settle on the grilled food. The particles can endanger your health. Rising smoke may cause the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are carcinogenic.

Beer has a limited shelf life
The consumer information service aid has more tips. Beer is not only suitable for grilling, but also as a component of soups. "The beer soup was already a classic 100 years ago and has since evolved considerably in individual regions and households," say the experts. On the Internet are delicious recipes, including a white beer soup with dumplings. For those, however, who enjoy beer "freshly tapped", the aid has further important recommendations ready. So you should always store beer cool, as it is only limited shelf life. "Signs of quality loss are peeling taste, musty flavor or low carbonation," report the experts. (Ad)
