Steam Whistle’s beer-inspired recipes for the holidays

Steam Whistle has whipped up a full course of holiday-inspired, beer-infused recipes.

While wine is all too commonly associated with cooking and dining, beer has always had its place in and alongside cuisine.

For instance, pilsners, as explained by Steam Whistle, “are good for cutting the heat on spicy food, quenching your thirst after savory foods, cleansing your palate after fatty foods and getting your mouth ready to taste again.”
