I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Three ingredients? Amazing, I can’t wait to try this for myself!

If you make it, let me know what beer/fruit combo you use. I can’t wait to try different combinations.
I just made it last night and used frozen strawberries and Shock Top Honeycrisp Apple Wheat. Amazing!!! So creamy without any dairy. I’ll be posting the recipe on my site next week.

First of all, I haven’t had that beer, but it sounds tasty on it’s own. I’m sure it was delicious with the strawberries in this sorbet. So glad you enjoyed it. Let me know when your post goes up!
what an interesting idea! love that you can still taste the individual flavors 🙂

I loved it too. Even though when you say Strawberry and Beer Sorbet people kind of look at you like you’re crazy….
This sounds awesome and I know my husband would love it but we don’t have an ice cream maker. Is there an alternative way to make it?

I haven’t made it without an ice cream maker… Here’s an article from David Lebovitz on how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker: http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2007/07/making-ice-crea-1/
Hi there. The current Food on Friday on Carole’s Chatter is collecting links to posts about ice cream and sorbets – or anything similar like gelato. I do hope you link this in. This is the link . Please do check out some of the other links – there are a lot of good ones already. Have a great week.
Jen , thanks for joining the link up for Food on Friday on Carole’s Chatter. I hope you enjoyed looking at some of the other links. I have been reading them all and must say my ice cream cravings are now almost out of control! Cheers
Ps I am signing up to follow your blog. A follow back would be great – or maybe you have already?
I work in a brewpub in Boulder. I’m gonna try this out with fresh peaches, honey, and a strong belgian golden ale. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Oh man – that sounds awesome. I have a TON of peaches in my house right now… I just made a blueberry variety the other night.
