Thank you DuClaw Brewing for sponsoring this post and sending me the DuClaw Farmhouse Gypsy. All opinions and the pork recipe are my own.
Welcome to the February 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 “Farmhouse Gypsy”, a hybrid beer that combines their bestseller Neon Gypsy with a saison yeast.
Each month when I get my beer from DuClaw, my friend and I brainstorm ideas for the recipe. IPAs are one of the hardest beers to cook with as it’s entirely possible to end up with a super bitter recipe if you aren’t careful. The saison yeast in the DuClaw Farmhouse Gypsy adds yet another piece of complexity. Luckily for all of us, my partner in beer crime informed me of an incredible sandwich – the Philly Pork Roast Sandwich. A little research showed me that the pork roast sandwich is as much a favorite in Philadelphia as the Philly Cheesesteak.
This turned out great and was actually a really easy recipe to make. It was a super tasty and filling dinner on one of our few winter days this year. Add a simple side like a salad or a rice pilaf and you’ve got the perfect meal for a crowd. (In fact, I will likely make it for an upcoming beer dinner and do it in the crock pot because that’s how I roll.)

Now that’s a tasty looking sandwich! YUM!
I do love the DuClaw sent you beer. That’s the sign of an amazing sponsored post! 🙂
This recipe looks really good. We don’t eat much meat in my house but when we do it’s things like sloppy joes or pulled pork. We had meatloaf the other night which I made with half ground beef and half soy crumbles. It was pretty delicious. I should add your recipe in the rotation!
Believe it or not…I’m not much of a pork fan (but I LOVE pork roast), and I don’t like beer (but have used it for seasoning). These sandwiches sound amazing! I’m gonna save this one 😉
This sounds like a perfect winter sandwich. Even though we sort of didn’t get a winter here this year…yet…
This sounds delicious! And I love Philly cheesesteaks. I grew up in PA and used to work at a cheesesteak shop. Now I’m craving for it!
Oh my gosh! That’s looks fantastic! Yummy. I love saison!
My Philly boys would love this for dinner!
I bet this would be easy to convert for the crockpot, too!
Sounds really delicious!
Yum we love pork roast! Thank you for sharing!
This looks SO good! I’ve never tried cooking with beer. My husband would definitely love this meal!
I love the idea of using beer as a marinade for meat. Yum yum yum!
That looks like another fun recipe!! I think you could totally do it in the crock pot!
