Orders for after-dinner alcoholic beverages are taken

A general name for alcoholic beverages made by
fermenting a cereal (or mixture of cereals)
flavoured with hops.
Notes: Most beers are brewed from malted barley
and flavored with hops, which makes them
slightly bitter. Beer is good with salty and spicy
foods, like pretzels, pizza, and hot dogs, but it can
also be used as a cooking ingredient, adding a
pleasant bitterness to chili, stews, and soups,
and softening the texture of baked goods. If a
recipe calls simply for beer, use a lager beer; a
strong ale can easily overpower a dish. De-
alcoholized beers are also available.
Substitutes: stock plus Angostura bitters (in
soups or stews) OR fruit juice OR wine
