FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does dark beer last unopened?
Most dark beers last 6 to 9 months past the bottling date if stored in a cool, dark place.
Is dark beer vegan?
Not necessarily. Many traditional dark beers use fining agents like isinglass (fish bladder) or gelatin for clarification.
What is a good non-alcoholic substitute for dark beer in cooking?
Beef broth, mushroom stock, or non-alcoholic dark beer are excellent substitutes for maintaining depth of flavor.
Does dark beer contain gluten?
Yes, dark beer is typically brewed from barley or wheat, both of which contain gluten.
What is the best temperature to serve dark beer?
Dark beers are best served slightly warmer than light lagers, typically between 10-13°C (50-55°F), to release their complex aromas.
Can I freeze dark beer for later use?
Freezing is not recommended as it destroys carbonation and can cause the container to burst; however, flat beer can be frozen in ice trays for future cooking use.
How do I choose a good dark beer for cooking?
Look for beers with chocolate or coffee notes for desserts, and malty, less bitter varieties for savory stews.
Why is dark beer dark?
The color comes from the use of roasted malts; the longer the malt is roasted, the darker the resulting beer.
