Although marinades are great at tenderizing the gristly bits of animal meats for a more succulent bite, they're also essential for imbuing them with flavors from the inside out. Mild-tasting plant-based proteins like tofu don't necessarily require textural improvement, but there's no arguing that they can use some zhuzhing up in the flavor department.

Beer, that refreshing poolside libation, has a history that likely goes back further than you think: The fermented suds have been quenching thirsts for a cool 13,000 years. Despite coming in many shades of flavor and varying degrees of strength, beer isn't a super common cocktail ingredient.
