We hope your 4th is filled with good food, fun and family. Nothing says the 4th like a good ol’ fashioned BBQ—and it’s been said that to make a real Wisconsin BBQ sauce, just add beer. Given Wisconsin’s beer-brewery industry it seems fitting to add a crisp, clean local brew like Schlitz, Miller or PBR. This recipe, from Hobby Farms magazine, suggests experimenting with different beers to find the flavor you like best—so go bold with a Dunkel Weizenbock or add some tang with a Wisconsin Belgian Red from New Glarus Brewing. This BBQ sauce goes great on chicken, ribs and pork and is delicious on top of a burger. Enjoy!
