Hello, Hivers and Beer lovers!
Happy start of the week to all of you. From time to time I like to take some beer from the supermarket to share with my hubby at home on the weekend. And a couple of weeks ago, I found in the supermarket near my house that they were selling Estrella Galicia. I usually take local brands of beer but despite being imported this one was at a very good price and I remembered that my husband likes it a lot, as we used to drink it when we visited my sister-in-law in Santiago de Compostela.
I was also surprised that they had a gluten-free version and it cost the same. I don't know how it is where you live but here gluten-free products are usually more expensive. I was curious to see if there was any difference in taste between the two versions. So I took a couple of beers of each to go with some burgers that the hubby was making at home.
Do they taste the same?
Well, we are not beer experts but for us, both versions tasted exactly the same.
We saw that the ingredients of both were the same.
Water, barley malt, corn, and hops.
And that also surprised us. Because I thought barley was not allowed in gluten-free diets. So I guess this barley malt has a special process. Who knows?
Both are golden in color. And very similar if not the same in appearance.
Estrella Galicia beer is a lager with a light taste and chilled is very refreshing. And that day it was perfect in both versions with the burgers my hubby made.
I was in charge of the fries. Lately, I've got the perfect way to make them in the air fryer.
I used to find them a little dry in the air fryer, but I have found that if I boil them for a few minutes beforehand without letting them cook through and then put them in the air fryer, they are crispy but soft on the inside. Perfect!
This is my participation in #BeerSaturday week 363. And now it's my turn to invite my friend @tengolotodo, who I know has just arrived from vacation. I'm sure you have enjoyed some cheeky beers these days, Super Ed. So share with us by writing a post in any language about beer with at least 3 pictures.
Thank you for reading.
