Cooking with Kasteel is no longer limited to preparing stewed beef with Kasteel Donker. The Mastercooks of Belgium put our Kasteel beers on the list of ingredients and inspire you to start cooking with beer.
The Mastercooks of Belgium bring together Belgium’s top chefs and prepare young talent to promote Belgium cuisine across the globe. To achieve that, the organisation collaborates with reputable partners, including Kasteel.
Cooking with Kasteel Rouge
If you are just getting started with cooking with beer, you are best trying a recipe based on Kasteel Rouge. The balanced flavour offers many possibilities in the kitchen and virtually guarantees a successful dish.
Cooking with Kasteel Donker
Kasteel Donker serves a complex palette of flavours that is both strong and mild as well as sweet. It is ideal for all your stews and meat dishes, but also recommended for fish dishes.
Cooking with Kasteel Tripel
Kasteel Tripel works well in combination with fish and shellfish dishes. Do keep in mind the bitterness of the beer. So only add Kasteel Tripel at the end of the recipe so it can’t boil.
Cooking with Kasteel Cuvée
Kasteel Cuvée is recommended for preparing meat dishes. Although this beer has a subtle bitterness from the hops, it won’t get in the way of the dish. Above all, listen to yourself when deciding how much beer you add to a dish.
Cooking with Kasteel Xtra
Just like Kasteel Tripel, Kasteel Xtra re-ferments in the bottle, which could make your dish bitter if you accidently let it boil. You are best using canned Kasteel Xtra as it is naturally less bitter.
