Boozy Side Dish: Spicy Beer Rice

Over at Virtual Potluck, we love our drinks and cocktails! Be it a non-alcoholic Pumpkin Spice Latte by Farmgirl Gourmet, a Creamy Hazelnut & Rum cocktail by Donna of Cookistry, or a Red Wine & Cherry Spritzer by Not Rachel Ray, we love any liquid libations.

So when we were contacted by The Lewis Bear Company to review a few of their beers, we were were pretty excited to drink up! Check out the links at the bottom of this post to visit other blogs and see what they made with the beer. The Lewis Bear Company is a beverage distributorship founded in 1876 that holds the regional franchise for Anheuser-Busch. The company is headquartered in Pensacola and maintains offices in DeFuniak Springs and Panama City. The current president is Lewis Bear, Jr.. –Wikipedia Page

With my beer, I decided to make a unique side dish by infusing jasmine rice with beer. It’s a perfect side dish for a quick weekday dinner, and you can make it for special occasions by adding some chopped roasted red peppers.

Victory Brewing Company’s Headwaters Pale Ale 
Tasting Notes from the company: This firmly crispy and aromatically arousing pale ale integrates a softly supportive malt base with underlies streams of herbal hop complexity.

    I wanted to see if it would be possible to share your recipe for Spicy Beer Rice on CraftBeer.com? One of the main goals of this Brewers Association website is to elevate the status of craft beer and bring it back to the dinner table through pairings and as an ingredient in food.

    I would create a post similar to this one: http://www.craftbeer.com/pages/beer-and-food/recipes/recipes-list/show?title=sweet-potato-brown-ale-fries and include you bio/photo and link to Cooking with Books. Please let me know what you think!

    This sounds perfect! I love the extra flavor added by cooking the rice in the beer. What a great twist for a standard side.

    Great idea! I’m making dinner right now and think I’ll make some boozy beer rice 🙂 My favorite craft beer is Bruery Saison Rue made here in Orange Co. But I’d love to try Lewis Bear Beer!

    Your rice looks SO yummy! Saw this on the virtual potlock board on pinterest, first one I clicked on! My mom has an amazing taco dip that she always used to make on the 4th of july and she’d cook it with two huge cans of budweiser! Definitely my favorite way to cook with beer 🙂

    My husband really likes the Eel River IPA. I’ve cooked with beer in soups and Welsh Rarebit. This rice looks easy and tasty.
