Is it sacrilege to use an appropriate bottle of homebrew*, rather than shop bought, beer to make a beef and ale or pie or do we consider this acceptable?

It's always appropriate to use homebrew. When my wife makes a batch of Guinness brownies and I have some stout available she uses it instead.
I've found on extra hot curry night drinking extra beer helps soothe the burn...again another fine example of multi useage of the home brew.

Is it appropriate to carve up the dog, dig up some onions from the allotment and make your own pastry to keep it all in the family?
Depends - what kinda dog are we talking?

Does it say in the recipe "add a pint of homebrew"?
My recipe tweaked over many years so i can make it say pretty much whatever i like
I've actually tended to use Badger Cranbourne Poacher (aka Poacher's Choice) in the past which works really well, but i was very pleased with the results today using my ESB

I'm perfectly fine with using homebrew in cooking. I can only recall using my stout in chrimbo pudding though

Perfectly acceptable. I've made the odd stew with my own beer, also a beer and wholegrain mustard bread that's very nice.
My kids absolutely lap up a beef in Guinness stew that I do in the slow cooker, I'd happily substitute my own stout but I don't make it that often.

Thanks all for your inputs, it turned out very well, plus there was a piece leftover for my lunch today.
Washed down with a bottle of two of the same ESB of course, which seems to have improved even more thanks to extended conditioning time in the bottle

That looks soooo good. Can't imagine how there was a bit left over, though.View attachment 20720

I love pies, need to make more of our own at home. Supermarket ones don't cut it.

My wife asked me for some beer to use in a soap recipe she was making. Naturally I gave a bottle from the box labelled 'needs extended conditioning time', an underwhelming helles bock. The finished soap turned out very good.
If she was making something I could eat, however, I wouldn't hesitate to proffer one of my best brews.....

I went to Toronto recently and wanted to do something which didn't involve drinking, so I found a soap making workshop which uses beer as an ingredient. It's a great way to use beer which didn't come out so well.
The class, however, was held at a brewery and I ended up having a few beers during the course.
