Best Non-Alcoholic Beers for Barbecues |
At Joe Canal’s in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, we serve plenty of customers who request no alcohol. We have customers who do not consume alcohol at all, and those who prefer to have a choice. Noticing the increasing popularity of non-alcoholic beer, we offer insights on which non-alcoholic beers are best for barbecues. How Is Non-Alcoholic Beer Produced?The first thing to find out about non-alcoholic beer is how it is made. Many brewers create beers with 0.0% alcohol by volume (ABV). Others reduce the alcohol to the 0.5% ABV that is legally required for the label. As it turns out, there are a variety of methods that brewers use, including changing up the yeast and grains and utilizing vacuum evaporation. And these recent innovations are why more and more people think that non-alcoholic beers are beginning to have a better taste. At Joe Canal’s, we’ve noticed that more people purchase non-alcoholic beer during the summer months. That may have something to do with the prevalence of warm-weather barbecues. However, since we enjoy barbecue year-round, it pays to find out which non-alcoholic beers partner better with grilled and smoked foods. We often assist with party planning, which involves pairing food with non-alcoholic versions of beer, wine, and spirits. Best Beer Styles for BarbecueWhen it comes to styles of beer, it seems that everyone has a favorite. Some prefer hoppy pale ales and others want creamy chocolate stouts. But when it comes to food, the right choice of beer for accompaniment can make a striking difference. Here are some suggestions based on some of the many flavors found in modern American barbecues. Lighter FareWhen you’re serving grilled chicken or fish, vegetable kabobs, or crispy salad, you might choose a pilsner-style beer. Refreshing and light tasting, we offer this style from Two Roots Brewing Company. Juicy BurgersWhether you’re serving ground beef, impossible burgers, or homemade veggie burgers, either a lager or slightly hoppy beer can be a great choice. We offer choices of each from Athletic Brewing Co. and Partake Brewing. Or you might try New Jersey’s own Forgotten Boardwalk. Sausages and SteaksPale Ales of all hop strength can be excellent with strong-flavored grilled sausages or marinated steaks. A mixture of grilled vegetables tossed with a spicy sauce will also benefit from the contrasting bitterness of hops. We offer several versions from Hoplark, Lagunitas, and Omission. Brisket, Pulled Pork, and RibsThese are the smoky, deep-flavored barbecues that are influenced by Kansas City or Memphis. You can accompany them with easy-to-drink ales from Athletic Brewing Co. or Brooklyn Brewery. Or try sour, fruitier styles from Peroni, Corona, or Brewdog. DessertEspecially when you are having a party, don’t forget to serve dessert! We love to pair stouts with sweets. Joe Canal’s offers delicious non-alcoholic stout beers from Athletic Brewing, Guinness, and Partake. Cook with Non-Alcoholic Beer at BarbecuesAnother way that non-alcoholic beer can enhance a barbecue is in the sauce. Many favorite barbecue sauces incorporate spirits, such as whisky, or beer, including stouts and porters. If you want a sauce that is more versatile and inclusive, consider using non-alcoholic spirits or beer. And what about those favorite barbecue sides? Bean dishes, soups, and stews can all be enhanced with the use of non-alcoholic wines and beers. Whether you’re making a stir-fry on the grill, simmering your famous baked beans, or making multiple salsas and sauces, a dash of non-alcoholic flavor will please your guests.
