Crank up your grill with Ultimate Dark Beer Marinade

When creating unique dishes in Grillax Nation, it’s all about a really good marinade … and we think you’ll love our dark beer marinade. With seafood, you want to go light. With beef, you want to go heavy. With chicken … the sky’s the limit!

You will generally see the usual suspects when putting together your own marinade — salt, pepper, vinegar, etc. If you are looking to add a unique twist to your next marinade, pour in your favorite ale. But save some for the glass, too.

We suggest you give Abita Turbodog a try. It’s a dark brown ale brewed with pale, caramel, and chocolate malts and Willamette hops. This combination gives Turbodog a rich body, deep color and a sweet chocolate, toffee-like flavor.

The Beer Marinade

• 1/2 cup dark beer (We like Abita Turbodog)

• 1 Tbsp Kosher salt
• 1 Tbsp white pepper

• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 red onion, diced

Combine all ingredients and use as a marinade or grilling sauce.
