It’s that time of the year folks, when you have a legit excuse to get experimental with your baking. So, if you are ready to take your April 20 baking to the next level, we’ve got just the recipe for you. Enter: beer-infused brownies made with the oh-so-delicious Hop Valley Bubble Stash beer. This unlikely duo makes for a delicious April 20 experience!
It is no secret that the hops in beers and cannabis are cousins of sorts. They both derive flavours and aromas from the same compounds called terpenes. This is why beer brownies make for the perfect snack to satisfy your cravings.
Introduced to Canadians in 2021, Hop Valley is a brewery that’s all about the Pacific Northwest spirit. And their Bubble Stash IPA, made with their secret stash of Cryo Hops, is perfect for adding some hoppy goodness to your baked treats.
If you’re interested in getting experimental, this recipe is right up your alley. The best part is that you can sip on this bright, tropical and sweet ale as you bake to kick off your day. Better yet, enjoy a can with your brownies… the unlikely delicious duo makes for the ultimate 4/20 alternative, in case you were looking for one.
Anyway, here’s the fun and easy recipe-
Ingredients:
- 120g of butter
- 140g of chocolate
