This year's state fair here in the great Republic of Texas is going to feature deep fried beer. Now, as long as they keep the product filled with something "ok" like Guinness (not the best but better Miller/Bud filled treats) it sounds ok, Guinness isn't supposed to be cold anyways (depending on who you ask, like Guinness).

Here is a more complete list of stuff they may deep fry this year: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcon...iedfood_26met.ART.State.Edition2.357c6b1.html

Interesting. I would definitely try it. I don't see what is so secretive about it. What is so hard about filling a ravioli with beer, freezing it, then deep frying it?

I miss the Texas State Fair. NC one doesn't even compare.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Someone here going to take on the task to figure this out?

 

[bob_boblaw]

I was just about to post this. I'd try it, I mean it is beer after all.

 

[Special Hops]

Everything tastes better fried.

Not sure about beer though. But would give it a try.

We learned all we know about deep frying from the Scots.

I have no interest in this product at all.

I haven't been to the state fair in about 30 years, but this may be the year I go!

[samc]

So, this becomes little more than a crispy ravioli filled with a palate scalding shot of hot beer.

Hmmm.

Here is a different style of fried beer which sounds better to me than the beer filled ravioli in the news:

How is that fried beer? Just sounds like fried beer batter.

Stop it, you're making me both hungry and thirsty at the same time!

Go back to sleep ya' pelican!

 

[motobrewer]

i don't see how you would possibly eat this without 3rd degree burns in your mouth.

 

[knotquiteawake]

My guess is that its only fried for a few seconds, just enough time to soften up the outside but leave the inside frozen/cold.

Did you watch the video?

It's like the adult italian version of Gushers jelly candies.

 

[smokinghole]

I don't get it. Just fry some sort of dough and dip it in beer. People will pay for anything.....

I saw this show on TV where a guy at a fair made deep fried Coke. Basically he made a batter with Coke and Coke syrup, then fried it. By all accounts, it tasted like Coke and was good. How are you going to concentrate beer flavor to make a batter with a final taste of beer? It think the final product will be horrible, but just the idea of deep fried beer will have people lined up to buy it.

Yeah, his actually had beer inside not just in the recipe.

To answer the question in the quote above...freeze concentration should do the trick.

No, I do not want to discuss that here or the legalities surrounding it. Nor do I wish to hijack this thread. Please use search if you are interested in this as there are MANY posts about it...TYVM

So I broke the law when I put those 3 cans of warm beer in the freezer to cool down and forgot about them?
