As a lot of other reviews have made this is a decent book as more of a gag gift. I bought it for a friend because he loves going to beer tastings and brewing his own beer at home - but he could probably come up with more creative recipes on his own that include beer in them.

2.0 out of 5 stars Full of weak sauce
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2012

As a massive lover of beer (both imbibing and cooking with it) I was truly excited about this book's potential. I waited by the door and mauled the delivery man with a giant hug. I had the fridge stocked with beers of various styles, ready to immediately partake in some cooking magic. Alas, my smile vanished once I opened the box.

The recipes are organized in a meaningful manner, e.g. "Starters", "Sides", "Main Dishes", and "Desserts." They're also ranked with three levels of difficulty, although I'm not entirely sure what criteria was used to make those decisions. They're ALL easy.

The book is printed on thick cardboard, the kind used in children's books. I guess this is good if you're drinking the beer while cooking and make a big mess, but it just feels chintzy. On the good side, the spine is bound in such a manner that the book holds itself open at whatever page you're working with.

While every page has a picture, there are no pictures of the actual recipes. None. Nada. Zip. The publishing page at the front says it all: "Interior photographs copyright istockphoto." Heck, some recipe pages have a picture of a DIFFERENT meal entirely. For example, the effort- and baking-free recipe for Beer Balls has a picture of baked dough balls on a cooking sheet. This is immensely frustrating for a cooking book -- there should be a picture of what you're making, or no picture at all.

The recipes themselves are insanely simple, even the ones classified as "hard." Perhaps my expectations were unreasonably high, but I was hoping for some exciting and novel new recipes to try, not just another "beer fondue" and "beer beans" recipe. This is a good book for a college dorm room, perhaps.

Personally, I do not recommend this book. You can get the same content (perhaps better) by just performing a web search for "beer recipes."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gift Book!
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2012
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
Normally, I don't review books like this but this is such a cool book! It is in the shape of a beer can (only much larger) and is made like a board book, like for kids, meaning that it is not only a cool cookbook that gives many fun recipes but it also looks cool and will be cool to open. Unlike many cookbooks, this one is tailor made to be a gift. And if you have a beer lover in the family this book is for you.

As for the recipes: there are some that you will no doubt recognize if you've been to some of the more creative bar & grills, but some are tantalizingly new. Take for instance the Chocolate Stout Lava Cake or the Best Corn Ever which utilize beer to bring something extra to already tasty dishes. Something that I found helpful was that the recipe may call for a type of beer, but the details may give an example of that beer helping those of us not in the know on the many, many types of beer available. I also liked that the recommendations are clearly not favoring one brand over the others so this doesn't seem like a marketing ploy.

Overall, a fun book for those who want to cook with beer themselves or who are looking for a great gift for your beer loving friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple but Great

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
If you want a simple yet enjoyable cookbook then look no further than this one. There are several enjoyable recipes in this book that you and your family will like to make and eat. This book is more for people who want to make great sauces and seasonings for their food. What I mean by that for example is one recipe is for meatballs but is calls for frozen meatballs so you are just adding great flavors to your food. In the back of the book there is an beer alcohol content section which gives you all the different beers that would go great in your recipes. Below is a list of all the recipes in the book...
Cerveza y Salsa Dip
Corn Relish Dip
Bean and Beer Dip
Beer Fondue
Chili Cheese Cornbread
Spicy Beer Soaked Shrimp
Mini Beer Dogs
Sauced Meatballs
Beer Eggs
Drunk Cheddar Soup
Black Beans and Beer Soup
Bravely Battered Veggies
Babies in Beer
German Potato Salad
Tipsy Sweet Potatoes
German Noodle Salad
Sailor's Salad
Pennies in Beer
Best Corn Ever
Beer in Broccoli Slaw
Colache
Three Ps
Hunter's Chicken
Smothered Chicken
Beer Buttered Steak
Barbecue Beef
Bavarian Pot Roast
Tailgate Salmon
Beer Battered Fried Fish
Beer Braised Lamb Chops
Pub Chops
Baby Back Beer Ribs
Glazed Picnic Ham
Three Beer Chili
Cowboy Beans
Beer Brats
Texan Rice
Banana Nut Beer Bread
Blueberry Beer Muffins
St Patricks Day Cake
Beerberry Cream
Beer Balls
Beer Bananas
Chocolate Stout Lava Cake

I have tried a couple of the recipes (Bavarian Pot Roast and Cowboy Beans) and we loved them. I am planning on making the Pub Chops tomorrow night for dinner since the recipes are so easy to make. Again, if you are looking for a cookbook with simple yet enjoyable recipes then look no further that Beer- A Cookbook: Good Food Made Better with Beer.

As idéias das receitas trazidas são bem interessantes, porém o que não me agradou é que na maioria delas o autor cita produtos industrializados já prontos e que infelizmente não são comercializados no Brasil, sem dar uma opção de substituição por outros ingredientes. Isso dificulta avaliar as receitas, pois muitas adaptações tem de ser feitas.

I bought this beer cookbook for my beer crazy nephew. He is 25 and his parents can't wait for him to leave home, so for Christmas I bought him some local beers from our local brewery and some cool beer glasses and he just loved it. Fantastic present for a beer lover really good novelty idea.
