India Pale Ale (IPA) ( Ale)
Goes great with: Any spicy food. Indian food (historically) as well as Thai, Cajun or Mexican.
Buffalo wings, blackened chicken or pepperoni pizza.
Grilled salmon, beef dishes or fried seafood can stand up to the hops, too.
But don't forget sweets! It's delicious with dark chocolate or even carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.
Favorite Lakefront Recipe: We'd like to thank beercook.com for the following recipe.
IPA Beer Donuts prep time : 30 minutes to one hour
ingredients:
1 cup cake flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (fresh ground is best)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons dried buttermilk powder
2 large eggs
3 oz. Lakefront Brewery IPA
4 tablespoons melted butter, cooled
Preheat oven to 375 F. Melt butter and let cool. Sift all dry ingredients together into large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter and beer until well-blended. Grease the donut pan with
a generous amount of butter or shortening (can also use mini bundt pan). Pour the liquid blend into the
dry ingredients all at once, and mix just until blended (do not overmix, or the donuts will be tough).
Fill each donut form half full. Bake in the preheated oven in the middle rack for 8-9 minutes for mini donuts,
9-12 minutes for regular size donuts. The donuts should not be browned on top. Remove pan from oven, let cool
for a minute, remove from pan and roll in powdered sugar.
Yields 6 regular donuts, or 24 mini donuts.
" By far one of my favorite beers to enjoy while Barbequeing in the summer time in Milwaukee." - Joanne George, OnMilwaukee.com
