HEALTH BENEFITS

Why eat it.

✓In moderation, may support heart health by potentially raising HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
✓Contains dietary silicon, which is linked to the growth and development of bone and connective tissue.
✓Provides small amounts of B vitamins, such as niacin, riboflavin, and folate, derived from the yeast and grain.
✓Contains antioxidants, known as phenols and flavonoids, from the malt and hops, which can help combat oxidative stress.

COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1Use as the liquid base for a light and crispy beer batter for frying fish, onion rings, or chicken.
2Incorporate into marinades for beef or pork; its acidity and enzymes help to tenderize the meat while adding a malty flavor.
3Add to stews, soups, or chili as a braising liquid to contribute a complex, slightly bitter depth of flavor.
4Use to steam shellfish like mussels or clams, infusing them with a subtle hoppy and malty aroma.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Store bottles upright in a cool, dark place, such as a refrigerator or cellar, ideally between 45-55°F (7-13°C) to preserve flavor.
Keep away from direct sunlight and fluorescent light, as UV exposure can cause a 'skunked' off-flavor.
Consume by the 'best before' date for optimal taste, as the hop character diminishes over time.
