Lidia's Italy

Braising Beef with Beer (Trentino Alto Adige) (3x9)

Air date: Oct 31, 2009

Italy is known for its wine, but did you know that you can find a strong beer culture there as well? As you head up north, high in the mountains, beer making is actually quite a prominent part of the region's culture. But you don't only drink beer with your food; you cook with it! Joe and Tanya will visit the Pfefferlechner artisanal brewery in a scenic Tyrolean location that evokes the Austrian Alps. Chef Billy Gallagher of Becco restaurant joins Lidia back home to make Beef Chuck Braised in Beer, Whole Grain Spaetzle, and Delicious Baked Apples.
