4 Great Ways to Enjoy a Non-Alcoholic Beer this Summer

With summer on our doorstep here are four novel ways to enjoy the refreshing taste of beer without the limitations of alcohol.

Beer Popsicle – Two long-time summer favourites have finally come together to help you beat the summer heat in the form of homemade beer popsicles. And with non-alcoholic beer these popsicles can be enjoyed by the whole family – the kids probably won’t even know it’s made from beer. Tip: use a Krombacher Radler to get some citrusy goodness in your pop! http://www.hgtvgardens.com/recipes/beer-popsicles

Beermosa – Breakfast is the most important meal of the day so make it special with a non-alcoholic beermosa. Combine two parts beer to one part orange juice to get a healthy and refreshing cocktail to kick-start your day. Then again, you might just want to relax and have another. Tip: try a light and crisp lager like Texas Select to spritz up the OJ or try a wheat beer like Krombacher Weizen to combine notes of citrus, banana and clove and provide a vitamin rich boost. http://cottagelife.com/91467/entertaining/recipes-entertaining/8-drinks-that-will-make-your-morning-on-the-dock-even-better

Beer Picnic – A picnic isn’t a picnic without some ice cold drinks. Put some premium non-alcoholic beer in the cooler and you’ll be sure to turn some heads and some minds. Don’t resist to the urge to have some fun at your friends and relatives expense – serve the beer in a cup and see if anyone can tell that it’s non-alcoholic. After that you can feel good that everyone can drive home without any worries. Tip: enjoy anywhere but be prepared to receive some puzzled looks.

Beer Marinade – Beer and barbeque are like chips and salsa, you can’t have one without the other. But did you know that beer-based marinades can help reduce the formation of potentially harmful substances in grilled meats? Studies found that grilled pork marinated in beer produced half the levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) compared with unmarinated pork. Tip: try darker beers like Sagres Dark or Clausthaler Golden Amber to maximize the effect. http://life.nationalpost.com/2014/05/13/dark-beer-based-marinade-makes-barbecue-grilled-meat-healthier-study-finds/
