BBQ SAUCE OF THE WEEK: Budweiser Barbecue Sauce


We've featured a sauce with whiskey in it. Now it's time for beer. Yes, it has Budweiser beer in it. You can taste it in the sauce, but it's very subtle - more of a complementary flavor. But then there are a lot of complementary flavors working here. This is one of the most complex sauces, flavor-wise, that I have tasted in these reports. The first thing you taste is a tomatoey, onioney, garlicky sweetness that is strong, but not overpowering. As the sauce moves to the back of your tongue, the tangy sourness of vinegar rises up to meet the sweetness. Finally, there is a moderate burn, accompanied by the flavor of beer. There are big chunks of onion, garlic and red pepper flakes throughout the sauce, which is relatively thick.

Overall, I'm not sure how well this sauce works. I'm admittedly not much of a beer fan, but I can appreciate it as a culinary ingredient (beer brats, beer batter, beer can chicken, etc). I'm just not sure that the flavor of beer works in a sweet tomato-based barbecue sauce. It leaves kind of a funky aftertaste. Maybe the problem is that it's Budweiser, and not some other kind of beer. In addition to this sauce, Bud also makes a "Beechwood-smoked" barbecue sauce, as well as a wing sauce and a basting sauce.

I've tried barbecue marinade with beer in it, and it's quite good actually. There's this unique flavor in it, especially when you use a decent beer for cooking. This recipe of yours is interesting since you have beer in the barbecue sauce itself. I would love to try this sauce one of these days.

"The Budweiser beer-infused barbecue sauce sounds like an absolute flavor sensation! It's intriguing to hear how the subtle notes of Budweiser contribute to the complexity of the sauce. The blend of tomatoey, onioney, and garlicky sweetness paired with the tangy sourness of vinegar creates a mouthwatering experience.

Your detailed description of the sauce's flavor journey, from the initial sweetness to the moderate burn accompanied by the beer flavor, is making my taste buds tingle. The inclusion of big chunks of onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes adds a delightful texture to the overall experience.
