Thinking I’m gonna have to buy a six of this to show support. Only I don’t drink beer in a can or Bud, Light or otherwise. So far I’ve got two things I can do with them–Beer Can Chicken and Beer and Cheese dip. What can I do with the other 4 cans?

Chili, beer cheese dip, beer bread. But first you are going to need to buy _beer_, not Bud Light. ---

Defeats the purpose. Here’s the conundrum, what can you make with Bud Light. Maybe the Beer Bread? It basically just replaces a few other ingredients, especially the water if I remember right. Hey, how about a beer marinade. Pork & Chicken should work. Not beef though, beef needs a dark ale like a porter or a stout. Simple too. ---

I’m most definitely going to try beer bread. My husband is the chili maker around here, I’m sure he’ll make use. Ooooh, snowthx gave me an idea. I’ve already purchased some dried fish to make [bacalaitos](https://latinamommeals.com/bacalaitos-codfish-fritters/), no reason not to add Bud. ---

Pour it into the toilet, flush. Eliminate the middle-man(person). Avoids regret. ---

Green Chile Pork > [@Country ribs recipe](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/country-ribs-recipe/947221/2): > > Ah, country style ribs, love them. Okay, so first, my favorite option is out, which is to smoke them, as while I consider it completely different from BBQ, there’s enough overlap and I don’t know if you have a smoker. What I would recommend is a New Mexican-style green chile pork, which only requires a slow cooker and ingredients, so really nice for hotter months, and does a good job with cuts that have a lot of diseparate bits of meat and connective tissue like Country style ribs. Easy-peasy… (you can use other cuts as well, pork shoulder works fine!) Otherwise, I buy cheap beer frequently to brine various chicken dishes. Sure, it’s not a lot more flavor than water, but more is more. 🙂 A light-tasting beer batter for fried food would also work well, or even in a tempura batter. Lastly, I often sub out some chicken broth (not stock, broth) in stewed dishes and soups with various lower flavor beers. Or use it for a braising liquid in any dish that would call for a mild white wine. ---

Dang, thanks for posting. I can’t stand Bud. But I will support AB InBev taking a commendable stand in the culture wars. Thanks to my trans son, I have a front and center seat. I’ll look for a 6 pack next time I go to the supermarket! ---

Fry some bratwurst just enough to get the skin crispy. Pour a can of beer in the can and let simmer until the brats are done all the way through. ---

> [@China\_Guy](#): > > I’ll look for a 6 pack next time I go to the supermarket! There is no need for that big a sacrifice. Bud = InBev = Groupo Modelo = Good Mexican beer. Go buy Modelo Especial and toast. ---

If Negro Modelo comes in similar cans, that would be my beer for life. Every once in a while, I end up in a Wal-Mart or some other desert island. Usually, whichever market has my saving grace of Negro Modelo, I need the cans to show support. I’ll probably even put the whole 6 pack on my shelf at work. ---

Do you like tomato juice? I occasionally have a [red-eye](https://www.thespruceeats.com/red-beer-for-brunch-759786) or two with a weekend breakfast. ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > Defeats the purpose. Here’s the conundrum, what can you make with Bud Light. Maybe the Beer Bread? It basically just replaces a few other ingredients, especially the water if I remember right. I think the OP had the only decent answer - beer can chicken. For anything that actually incorporates the beer in the dish, you want something with flavor. But beer can chicken essentially just uses it as a steamer, so you can get away with a more tasteless beer. ---

You can always use it to simmer brats or boil shrimp. ---
