Jim and David are firing up the grill from Memorial Day to Labor Day (and all the grill-outs in between) with the Samuel Adams What’s Brewing at the BBQ™ campaign, sharing expert grilling and Samuel Adams craft beer pairing tips. Simple to make additions that heighten the flavor of classic grilled dishes like David Burke’s Samuel Adams Boston Lager infused marinades, condiments and rubs, showcase the perfect match-up of full-flavored craft beer with all-American grilling favorites.
At a time when people are shifting their culinary focus from pricey gourmet back to tried and true, all-American foods, at-home chefs are looking for tips on how to cook simpler while still adding bold flavors to the classic dishes they love. Grilling season is no exception to this trend. Jim and David are grill-side to share their expert tips and ideas with people thirsty for flavorful American beer and hungry for a classic cook-out.
“Who doesn’t love a summer barbeque? It’s an outdoor entertaining tradition, and it’s simple to do right with just two basic ingredients…flavorful American beer like Samuel Adams Boston Lager and a juicy steak,” said Chef Burke. “I can’t think of anything better than firing up the backyard grill on a hot day with a cold Samuel Adams Boston Lager in hand and experimenting with how perfectly the full-flavored beer stands-up to the bold flavors of BBQ.”
Chef Burke has created a few craft beer-infused takes on American classics, including his signature: Grilled “Man” Burger with Samuel Adams Boston Lager Ketchup, Grilled Samuel Adams Boston Lager Marinated Sirloin, Grilled Sirloin with Grains of Paradise Steak Rub, Samuel Adams Boston Lager Angry Grilled Pork Spare Ribs and all the traditional sides from Grilled Corn on the Cob & Seasonal Vegetables to Grilled Potato Salad Boats. Jim Koch is ready to pair your meal with his original full-flavored, American craft beer, Samuel Adams Boston Lager.
“Full-flavored, high quality beers like Samuel Adams Boston Lager are perfect to pair with the bold, hearty flavors of grilled foods. The upfront malt flavor matches the caramelized flavors of grilled meat, while the hop finish lifts away the heaviness from the palate,” said Samuel Adams Founder and Brewer Jim Koch. “Like many guys, I shy away from recipes that have a lot of steps. I’ve found that substituting beer for other ingredients can introduce you to a whole new world of flavors,” Koch said. “The brewer has already created a nice ‘spice package’ for you that’s very adaptable as a grilling marinade or an ingredient.”
