After a long day exploring any of the 48, 4000 foot peaks of the Granite State, there’s nothing better then a cold, 4000 Footer IPA and some steak! Kick off the hiking boots, turn on the grill, crack open a brew and fill that belly with a taste of the mountains in every bite!
MARINADE INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup Woodstock Inn Brewery 4000 Footer IPA
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic; smashed
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS:
- In a large bowl, combine all marinade ingredients until mixed well.
- Pour marinade in to an air tight, sealable container (large zip-lock bag works fine).
- Place the flank steak in to the marinade and seal tightly.
- Refrigerate for 1-3 hours (up to 24 hours), toss on the grill and cook to desired temperature.
ABOUT THE BEER:
4000 Footer IPA (aka 4K) has a clean mouth feel and assertive bitterness. This West Coast style IPA has piney and floral hop notes. This is the first IPA recipe brewed by Woodstock and has a 6.5 ABV with 82 IBUs. IBU stands for International Bittering Unit. The more bitter the beer, the higher the IBU.
For comparison, Woodstock makes Pig’s Ear Brown Ale, which has 20 IBU’s, while 4K IPA has 82. This gives the 4K a more bitter taste enjoyed by IPA fans. Different hops and the amount of hops create different alpha acids that equate to the flavor.
You can find 4000 Footer IPA at the brewery and in package and grocery stores throughout New England including Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
