I have to give a big "Yes!" to beer in cooking.

Last night, I made a big pot of beans from Helen Nearing's cookbook ­ fruity 
beans, with apples, onions, pineapple, raisins, and molasses.  I took the 
liberty of altering the recipe (not enough liquid), and added a beer (and a 
ginger hot sauce I make called Paté de Piments).

Wow!!

Cooked for a couple of hours on the top of the wood stove.  Served with 
vennison (courtesy of a neighbor who, um, harvested it on my farm), which I 
marinated Saturday night in red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme 
(from the summer garden), and bay leaves (from the tree growing happily in 
my bathroom).

Add a good dark beer (for the cook), and some green beans to round out the 
meal), and yummmmmmm.  Excellent food to end the Holiday week.

Robert.
