Thank you DuClaw Brewing for sponsoring this post and sending me the DuClaw Devil Made Me Do It. All opinions and the brownie recipe are my own.
Welcome to another edition of “Cooking with Beer”! Each month DuClaw Brewing sends me a beer and a friend and I create a recipe. It’s a fun time to think outside the box and try a new beer and new food. This month’s beer is “Devil Made Me Do It”, a sour beer that was aged in bourbon barrels that had previously held DuClaw’s Hell On Wood Barleywine. I confess that while I don’t actually like bourbon (I blame college football games LOL), I LOVE bourbon aged beers. Add in my new love of sour beers and I was quite intrigued by this selection.
I found that DuClaw’s Devil Made Me Do It was more sour than bourbon, but there was enough of the bourbon smell and taste to balance the sourness. My friend likened it to a whiskey sour, but I’ve never actually had one of those LOL. As part of the recipe, we soaked dried tart cherries from Trader Joes in a beer overnight. I gotta tell you – those cherries were TASTY! They were perfect in the brownies, but I also ate every last one of the cherries that didn’t go into the brownie batter.
