Delicious meat on the grill and a drinkable beer in hand: With this combination, some people get the idea of mixing the two together - directly on the grill.

Deglaze grilled food with beer - a sin for every friend of good taste
If you extinguish your meat with beer on the grill, you are doing yourself a disservice: the barley juice extinguishes the coals and can thus reduce the temperature.
On top of that, the
ash is whirled up
and instead of the beer it lays like a marinade on the meat.
The beer itself evaporates anyway, so that hardly anything of the taste remains.
If you are unlucky, you have even
washed away
the
original marinade and spices
.
In addition, the extinguishing creates
additional smoke
- which is not only unhealthy, but could also make guests or neighbors turn up their noses.
