The Samuel Adams What's Brewing at the BBQ recipe contest by submitting your favorite grilling recipe!
See the winning recipe and contest finalists!
Like most guys, Jim Koch shies away from recipes that have a lot of steps. Instead, he substitutes beer for other ingredients since the right brew will already have a nice "spice package" perfect to use as a grilling marinade or an ingredient in another dish. Show us how you can incorporate Samuel Adams Boston Lager as an ingredient in your favorite grilling recipe.
