With the grilling season just around the corner, I was thinking of different things I wanted to try. Has anyone marinated chicken or pork with beer? I think it could produce some tasty meats on the grill.

I love IPA's etc., but for cooking, the bitterness doesn't usually work.
5 Is Not Enough said:I second the avoidance of any beers with high AAU or lots of hops flavor and aroma that may be converted to bitterness as it is cooked. The worst thing I ever tried with beer was simmering brat's in an IPA. For some reason, thought the aroma would come through, but nope, just Bitter.

Domestic American pale lagers like coors light work really well for brats. Low on hops, and you get the beer flavor. You can get it for cheap, and save your homebrews to wash down the brat!
