For the last year we’ve been featuring our favorite “Cooking with Beer” recipes every weekend.
And with Super Bowl taking place on Sunday we thought it might be time to showcase some party-friendly “blasts from the past.”
FOUNDERS SOLID GOLD BEER BATTERED ONION RINGS
This tasty beer battered onion rings recipe comes from Founders Brewing’s Culinary Director, Justin Golinski who notes that the dish represents all four important food groups (beer, onions, oil, batter) so there’s no reason to feel guilt.
And the beer used is Founders Solid Gold a 4.4% ABV Premium Lager which the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based brewery introduced in 2018, and remains one of their most popular year-round offerings today.

MIND HAZE TIKI SMASH IPA PORK TACOS
This fun recipe is served at The Propagator, Firestone Walker’s hot-rod brewhouse in Venice, California.
And it uses Firestone’s Mind Haze Tiki Smash IPA, a 6.2% ABV hops and coconut variation of the brewery’s Mind Haze India Pale Ale.
SIERRA NEVADA HAZY IPA BEEF SLIDERS
This appetizing recipe comes our way from Sierra Nevada Brewing, but it originated at Beer Belly, an Instagram site that knows what it’s doing.
It uses Sierra Nevada’s bestselling Hazy Little Thing IPA, an aggressively dry-hopped, less filtered, 6.7% ABV India Pale Ale, with a juicy citrus ambience, a modest bitterness, and smooth finish.

SPICY BACON & CHEDDAR CHEESE MUFFINS
This sure-to-please recipe, which comes our way from the Beer Institute, a national trade organization that advocates for big and small brewers, was created for them by Chef Laurent Aubel.
And although it calls for any lager, we used Scrag Mountain Pils, a 4.8% ABV Czech-Style Pilsner from Lawson’s Finest Liquid.
ROASTED POTATO SKINS WITH IPA CHEESE DIP
This delicious party pleaser, also comes our way from the Beer Institute.
Although the recipe calls for any India Pale Ale, we used Firestone Walker Hopnosis IPA, a 6.7% ABV India Pale Ale that is brewed with Cryo Hops® pellets and dry-hopped with US and New Zealand varieties.
