Mark Zable is my new hero. Zable is what you’d call a food inventor. He figures out a way to take existing food items and make them awesome. For example, he invented the jalapeno shrimp corndog and chocolate-covered strawberry waffle balls. Now he’s back, with his greatest invention yet: deep-fried beer.
That’s right, Zable has invented a way to deep-fry beer without overcooking it and burning off all the alcohol. While most of his methods are secret, he basically creates a salty shell of pretzel-like bread, fills it with beer (in this case Guinness stout), and sticks it in the deep fryer at 375 degrees for 20 seconds. That’s long enough to cook the bread to a pretzel-like consistency, but not so hot you don’t need to be 21 to try one of his fried beer snacks.
Zable will be debuting his perfect taste treat at the greatest place on earth for fried food lovers, the Texas State Fair. He’s entering their deep-frying competition. Last year’s winner was deep-fried butter, but if anything can top that, it’s deep-frying beer. Everything’s better when it’s fried.
