Advice on beer
Some good advice for you steak tip marinators...
1) Never use a frosted mug with beer -- it dilutes the taste and can introduce unwanted flavors into the mix.
2) Tilting the glass at a 45-degree angle, pour half the beer down the side and then the other half right down the middle. That kind of pour lowers the carbonation to the right level.
3) When buying beer, look for freshness dates on the bottles -- beer begins losing flavor about four months from the bottling date. If you have a quality lager that has passed its peak, use it for marinating steak tips.
4) If you're hosting a party and there is leftover beer in the fridge, put it back in the cupboard. (Temperature changes won't hurt it.)
5) For dinner guests, try pairing black lager with smoked Gouda, and oysters with stout.
6) Before serving any cold beer, take it out of the fridge and allow it to warm up on the counter for five or 10 minutes. Beer that is too cold loses its complexity.
