Beer Cheese Throwdown 2024

Craft Beer Selected: Kinkaider Devils Gap Jalapeño Ale

Description:

We chose Kinkaider Devils Gap Jalapeño Ale for the beer cheese bites because it’s a variation from your typical wheat beer while still possessing a familiarity to the foodie taking part in the experience.

First, we prepared the craft beer cheese sauce following the included instructions. Pour the sauce into ice cube molds and freeze. Cut ice cubes in half. Roll the cubes in cornstarch and dip into egg wash. Roll in panko seasoned with salt and pepper. If not serving immediately, par cook at 350ºF for 20 seconds and put the bites back in the freezer. When ready to serve, fry at 350ºF for 3-4 minutes. We served it with a scratch-made, roasted elote aioli dipping sauce garnished with ancho seasoning.
