using beer in my bacon cure

[TXBronco]

Good afternoon folks,
Just wondering if anyone on here has used beer in their bacon cure? Our local brewery, LongWoodenSpoon, has a great hatch green chili porter and I want to use it in my cure. I love the flavor. Just not sure how much to use per pound. Any suggestions or know how?

Are you doing a brine? Here is a basic beer brine, you can adapt for your needs. https://www.craftbeer.com/recipes/basic-brine-beer

Personally I think it's a great idea, but I would have personal concerns about the flavor of stale beer after the 5 to 7 days cure for myself.


Let us know how it turns out.... really interested in the outcome of your experiment.
