Ya know... I made the beer potatoes as a tribute of sorts to my dad on Father's day. He's been gone for about 25 years now. He grilled often and most everything he grilled had beer involved.
He would chunk up potatoes into 1 inch chunks. He would cut up whole carrots (I just use packaged baby carrots). Also a half onion cut into quarters. He would season with garlic salt and lemon pepper. He would put it in a foil packet... but before closing up the second end... dump in about a half can of beer... then seal it up. He would toss the packets right on the coals for about 15 minutes. Then flip the packets and set beside the coals. Punch a couple holes to let the beer steam out. He would leave them there until whatever else he was making was done. The key is to take them almost to burnt. You want the sugars from the beer to darken... it leaves a sticky kinda sweet glaze. He always drank Busch beer... so I bought a 24 ounce can. Used half for two packs of potatoes... then drank the other half while grilling.
