Yeah, that’s weird. They should at least provide pairing suggestions.

it kinda bothers me when breweries also have dining areas and then make very little use of their beers in the cooking.

I’d definitely encourage experimentation with different beer styles. But as I said, special beers might require special recipes. Still, it surprises me that there was NO added flavor with such a flavorful beer. I’m just going to need to try it out and report back, as I said above! Thanks for the comment and the field research.

I admit, I didn’t follow the recipe exactly, which may have contributed to the nearly no-beer flavor. Then again, maybe just a hint of flavor was what the recipe was reaching for. All I know is, when I tried beer can chicken at a restaurant (they used Miller High Life), I could taste the beer pretty well. And it was delicious, despite the fact that I hate Miller High Life.
Maybe stout is my next step.
