Grilled Beer Corn

Submitted by Mysterygirl

"I heard about soaking corn in beer and thought - Why not? So we tried this last night and it was really, really good. Just be careful to not overcook the corn. You don't want it to dry out."

Turned out OK for us; a fun way to cook (and well worth the conversation it created!) but to be honest I didn't prefer this to plain-old corn grilled in the husk.

OH MY GOD!!! This was SO good. I loved the flavor the beer added to the corn, it was subtle but there all the same. And then grilling the corn on the grill added the bit of carmelization to it. Perfectrion on the cob is all I can say! And i must concur on the overnigth marinating. I simply flipped the bag over on my way to work and it did all the work for me. We served it with stuffed peppers and it was the perfect side dish.

A great, easy recipe. We fixed this over the weekend in the smoker and it was a hit. I've handed out the recipe to a few and have had additional requests to make this for our 4th of July party.

This was very easy to prepair.I had to buy frozen corn because the fresh didn't look too hot. The taste was different. I soaked it overnight in a ziplock bag and cooked it this afternoon. Thanks!

I picked this for PAC 2006 and served to company with Pinto Beans. I soked it overnight and most of the next day. Cooked it on medium over the grill, turning frequently, for about 10 minutes. Everyone loved it, especially the beer drinkers LOL They tend to want to soad everything in beer. The corn was very juicy. Served with melted butter, salt and pepper.
