Surly CynicAle Beer Battered Hard-Boiled Eggs

DSC_0595

When I was asked to by Twin Cities Live and Surly Brewing Company to use their CynicAle to make a stir-fry, I wanted to garnish it with something special.  In Asian cooking there is a dish called “Son In Law Eggs” which is a salad made of deep-fried hardboiled eggs.  I thought these eggs would make a perfect garnish to my stir-fry but I thought they would be even better if I made a CynicAle beer batter for them! These were so amazing and unique, just like Surly CynicAle!
