Beer + batter + onions = win
After the flippin’ successful Banana Bread Beer Pancakes last month I thought I’d try cooking up another storm in the kitchen as part of Mrs Brewskie’s birthday meal. I used a Jamaican Dragon Stout which I bought as an option for beer pancakes but didn’t use and had left over. Most people won’t have one of these knocking about but I reckon any old dark beer would be fine. In fact, if you use any beer whatsoever I reckon you will no doubt end up with wonderfully tasty rings. As usual with my recipes, I follow my nose, so there are no exact measurements! Just look at the photos and figure it out – I also made a little video starring Alfie which shows the consistency the batter needs to be at the end of mixing, just aim for that and you’ll be fine and dandy.

Banana Bread Beer Pancake with Nutella in all its glory
We were having a little chat at work about pancake day when I thought, beer pancakes, now there’s an idea. Fortunately, someone else was in the office with an even better idea, Banana Bread Beer Pancakes! So I went to the shop, bought some ingredients and cooked up a batch, A-MAZING! The best thing about them was how easy they are to make. I’m not going to include a load of detailed measurements in the destructions below because I didn’t use any, it’s that simple!

Brewskie has been mainly drinking and occasionally reviewing beers since 2011. I also enjoy cooking and when a recipe involves beer I'll try to share it with you. The blog is run by Matthew Coupe with a little help from his friends around the world. I started writing after a trip to Munich where I fell in love with the traditional beer culture and discovered some excellent lagers and wheat beers. I got home, went to the local chain pub and instantly felt a bit sad that the amazing beers I'd just had simply weren't available.
I'm not a pro - my reviews are intentionally light-hearted and full of horrendous puns - and I am sure many people will disagree with at least some of what I write. The more I discover and learn, perhaps the better the reviews will become but I am treating this as an adventure into the world of beer. I've already learnt so much, had some beers that really blew my mind and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Hopefully you'll stick around and enjoy what you read and please follow what I'm doing via the usual social means, the links are all around you!
If you find yourself in Manchester and fancy a pint, send me a message, chances are I'll be in the pub already...
