Beer Soaked Corn on the Cob

Grilled Beer Soaked Corn on the Cob.

Some foods, like grilled corn on the cob, just scream summer time. Mixed with the smell of charcoal, it reminds me of summers spent on Lake Lanier. It’s crazy how a simple smell can bring back so many memories. This past weekend, we decided to hangout around the house. We enjoyed some time at the beach, washed the cars, watched Shakespeare by the Sea, and grilled some kick ass food. On the menu, blueberry balsamic glazed pork chops, grilled summer squash, and grilled corn on the cob. Two different people walked past the grill and commented on how good everything looked and smelled. Huck was standing over my shoulder the whole time asking if it was done. I’m sure he would have ate half cooked pork chops at that point. I thought he was going to die waiting for me to get the pictures.

To cook corn on the cob, I soak the ears, with the husk on, in a sink full of water for an hour then place it in the microwave for about 5 minutes for 2-4 ears. We will eat it straight out of the microwave, or sometimes I’ll throw it on the grill to char the outside. I always cook it in the microwave first to soften it up and speed up the cooking process.

Huck actually came up with the idea to soak the corn in beer instead of water, so technically this recipe was his idea. The beer added great flavor and made the corn super moist. I lightly brushed each ear with butter to prevent it from sticking to the grill and sprinkled with a little salt and pepper, but it really didn’t need anything.

For the beer, I used a lager but any beer would work for this recipe. Maybe next time, I’ll soak the corn in a pale ale and make a spicy compound butter. The possibilities are endless with this one!

Other Beers to Try:

  • Hotter Than Helles- Cigar City Brewing
  • Pils- Lagunitas Brewing
  • Joe’s Premium American Pilsner- Avery Brewing
  • Any big brand lager or light lager would work too
