Beer and Mustard: A Match Made in Heaven

I’ve always had a fondness for spicy mustard. But when you make one with beer, why, what’s better than that? My latest find: Henry Weinhard’s Dark Pub Beer Mustard by Barhyte Specialty Foods. I picked this up at the market the other day and we got to try it Sunday while grilling out. This is not a mustard for the faint of heart, as it has a substantial spicy bite that is sharp and laced with a subtle burn. That’s tempered a bit by a hint of white wine and, best of all, a bit of creamy dark lager flavor. I slathered it on juicy bratwursts fresh from the grill to very good effect, matched with a cool glass of Samuel Adams Boston Lager. Well worth trying for those who like every bite to bite back back.
