Everyone knows that beer tastes great with all things bbq and picnic, but did you also know that you can make bbq and picnic foods with beer?   Oh, friends, you can!   Let me count the ways for you! You can poacha sausage in beer; Or make marinade for your deer; You don’t have to have skills To add chills and thrills Your chili will pop Your potato salad ’s the tops Beer soaked chickpeas for hummus Taste so good with hops like Columbus!
