Easy Beer Batter Recipe

There are two important reasons beer batter is called beer batter, the obvious one being that it contains almost as much beer as flour. The second is that anything you batter and fry with it automatically pairs well with a pint of suds. Need a third reason? This recipe is so easy you could whip up a batch after 10 pints of suds. 

While fish fillets are most commonly associated with this concoction, remember the last time you had fried pickle chips? You don't have to say it was at Hooter's, we already know. This batter recipe makes it possible to recreate most of that experience in the sanitized comfort of your own kitchen.
