steps

This recipe spotlights thick-cut bacon, fresh ginger, sweet-tart tamarind and Goose Island’s 312 Urban Wheat Ale – Inspired by the city of Chicago and densely populated with flavor, 312’s spicy aroma of Cascade hops is followed by a crisp, fruity ale flavor delivered in a smooth, creamy body that’s immensely refreshing.

  1. Cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Add the garlic, ginger, tamarind paste and beer.
  2. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Add mussels and cook for 2 minutes.  Stir in butter.
  3. Finish with chopped parsley. Serve with sliced and toasted baguette.
