For this #beersaturday adventure, I decided to mix it up. With heat and humidity in the upper 90Fs this weekend I chose to go with a Mexican lager. A brief review online before I headed over to the grocery store to pick up some lump charcoal led me to the Pacifico.
I love my hazy IPAs...a LOT. Yet with a dinner plan of grilling veggie kabobs and chicken on the charcoal, I opted for something a bit lighter. And lighter, it is...
A far cry from the hazies I enjoy so much; this beer looks like a light beer. Yet, at 4.5% ABV, it should be. It's actually a pretty clean beer; I don't smell or taste any corn adjunct on this one. It goes down pretty smooth, too. I'm pretty sure I could put the 12 pack down today, but I opted not to as I don't want to use the bathroom all night. Still...a crisp clean lager engineered by German brewmasters in 1900...it's not a bad summer beer at all.
So, what did I grill for the family while slugging a few of these Mexican lagers down? Chicken, of course!
We prepped the legs and thighs with salt and pepper. After firing up the charcoal, I threw the veggie kabobs and chicken on. Thirty minutes later, after applying more of my Father's Day BBQ sauce, the final product looked as such:
Mushrooms, onions, cukes, and BBQ chicken. It's a Wisconsin July classic; we sconnies now how to do it right sometimes.
