Festive foods take on new meaning when made with serious beer. And who doesn’t like a freshly caught river trout, campfire grilled in the right beer

This tasty recipe comes our way from one of our favorites, Sierra Nevada Brewing And it’s made using a Sierra Nevada Summerfest Lager, a 5% ABV summertime release with a delicate yet complex malt menu, and spicy, floral hops..

And when you’re done pulling things together you can kick back with this classic which pairs perfectly  with the great outdoors and keeping the campfire going.

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless trout

Directions:

Step 1

Preheat your oven* to 350º Fahrenheit.

*If using a grill, move the coals to one side and cover the grill with a lid. If using a campfire, place the foil packet directly on a bed of coals. (Note: double wrap the foil to avoid ripping.) Cooking times may vary; reach an internal temperature of 145º Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Spread the trout on the foil wrap. Sprinkle the inside of the trout with salt and pepper, add lemon slices and butter, and fold the trout closed.

Step 3

Top the folded trout with your favorite vegetables. Pour the Summerfest atop the medley, filling a glass with the remaining beer to enjoy on the side.

Step 4

Enclose the trout and fixings in the foil wrap, being sure to crimp the foil well to ensure a good seal. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10–15 minutes.

Step 5

Remove and carefully cut open the foil wrap to release the glorious, steamy aroma and dive in.
