Wheat Beer-Steamed Mussels
Wheat beer goes perfectly with light delicious mussels. Choose a favourite from a local microbrewery or go afar and try Blanche de Chambly by Unibroue from Quebec, the Belgium Hoegaarden or the German Schneider Weisse.

This rich and tasty fall stew impressed us with its use of local ingredients and thoughtfully chosen side dishes: Citrus Quinoa and Honey-Roasted Carrots. Serve it with the beer you cook with.
The marinade of lime juice, beer and herbs gives this pork a smoky taste. It also makes a dandy sauce, but to be safe to eat it can't have touched the raw meat. Reserve 1/3 cup (75 mL) before combining the remainder with the pork; bring to a boil to mellow the flavours. Serve with corn on the cob and boiled new potatoes.
I first tasted bannock on a tenth grade hiking trip through the BC Lillooet Gold Rush trail. It was freshly cooked over a campfire and tasted wonderful on a cold and rainy evening. My version of stovetop bannock is jazzed up with some savoury add-ins. Served with Stuffed Pork Tenderloin, it is perfect for mopping up the delicious Maple Beer Sauce.
Created by the British in the 19th century, shandy is a popular and refreshing drink in the Caribbean.
While this recipe calls for pickerel, any firm-fleshed white fish, such as halibut, whitefish or cod, will do. There is more batter than needed, but it makes it easier to dip the fish.
While it was pickerel we feasted on for our shore lunch at Hatchet Lake, Sask., any white freshwater fish will do for this classic fish-fry. There is more batter than needed, but it makes it easier to dip the fish.
