Fun uses for beer besides drinking it

I was reminded today (because my hair is especially cooperative) of all the fun uses for beer besides drinking it. Which I don't do because I don't like the taste and never have despite growing up in the great brewery city of Cincinnati, Ohio. Shout Out to Little Kings Cream Ale and Shimay Ale made by Trappist monks but that's another story. Bottom line, I used up my alcohol quota in high school and college and rarely imbibe.

So what do hair and beer have in common? If you use your clean stale beer as a finishing rinse after washing your hair, you will be "drunk with delight" at how shiny and manageable your locks are. Apparently it's the antioxidants from the yeast and hops and stuff. A new use for Old Bud, or Alaskan Winter Amber in my case.

Another fun use for beer is to add it to a batter recipe in place of all or part of the liquid in the recipe. Yummylicious for seafood and onion rings.

Of course, a perennial favorite is using stale beer in shallow cans in your garden to drown slugs. At least they die happy.

Thank you for stopping by and please let me know if you have any other suggestions. I apologize for the lameness of the post. I could of blogged about sports overload with the Olympics or the Democratic Convention. (Actually, that reminds me, I do have something to blog about with the Convention, something fun, I promise.) Best to you and yours and I hope if you enjoy beer, it doesn't get stale.
