Author Notes
After a peek into my incredibly well stocked pantry, and a spin of the imagination wheel, I landed on a Grilled Beer Sandwich. If fried sandwiches are good enough for Elvis, well they're good enough for me.
Be classy and top the whole business with some chopped parsley. Serving a grilled beer sandwich with a glass of craft beer for a centre field home run and impress your bearded plaid inclined craft beer friends. —FondueVoodoo
