I was thrilled we were selected for beer-based appetizers once I stumbled upon Beer Beef Jerky. See, I was gifted a dehydrator for my bday back in October and was ready to put it in action. I found this recipe and followed the ingredients (mostly) to a 't' at Brooklyn Brewshop. I used a local beer, 10 Barrel Black Ale. I also noticed that depending on how thin you cut your strips you cook time needs adjusting, duh. I ended up dehydrating for about 5 hours. Thought it was yummy and easy....no leftovers to be found!
We also made a meat free option for our vegetarian friends. Cheesy warm beer bread was just the way to get the party started. This recipe required more time and attention. I would make it again though. I would also recommend eating right out of the oven. Found this recipe at Smitten Kitchen.
First, Din Din party of 2014 was a success, now ready for restaurant imitation themed night.
That beer bread was amaaaazing. So was the jerky. Well done
