Cooking with Beer – Fresh Squeezed IPA Sorbet

Festive foods take on new meaning when made with serious beer. And who doesn’t enjoy a tangy dish of citrusy sorbet, especially when it’s are with the perfect India Pale Ale?

And although the recipe calls for any IPA, we went with the Deschutes Brewery’s Fresh Squeezed IPA a terrific 6.4% ABV India Pale Ale that’s loaded with citrusy  Citra and Mosaic hops that are guaranteed to lend bright tropical tones to your sorbet.

The beer’s resonant citrus tones work deftly with this wonderful recipe, and with summer’s arrival this tasty treat will always be welcome.

So let’s do this!
