A few months ago, I really started getting interested in trying varieties of craft beers. Especially IPA's which have been my beer of choice since they were introduced to me in the early 2000's. I do have to say that the introduction in to exploring crafts was all thanks to my friend Mark Misura though. I really had not put any thought toward the inner workings of the craft beer world until I started listening to his podcast and he started sending me info on some beers to try. He also had sent me an article/recipe one day on pickling jalapenos with beer. I obviously was really intrigued and the next day bought the stuff to try my hand at it. Below is the adaptation of that recipe that I used. If you aren't an IPA person, maybe try a beer that you prefer. My main suggestion would be that you try using a beer that is full of flavor and you really enjoy. I wouldn't go using one of the expensive, limited run type beers, but one of my favorite common IPA's is Goose Islan...
