A Toast to Tradition: National Bake Week and National Beer Day Collide

by Darryl Alder | Apr 5, 2025 | Events and Training, Recipes | 0 |

April blends National Bake Week (April 7-13) and National Beer Day (April 7). Celebrate home baking, from sourdough to ancient grains. For those avoiding beer, explore easy substitutions!

Replace lighter beers with chicken broth, ginger ale, white grape juice, or white wine. For darker beers, try beef broth, mushroom stock, apple juice, apple cider, root beer, or cola. Use Baker’s Math to maintain liquid balance. These alternatives work for tenderizing meats and activating leavening in breads. While not identical, minor adjustments can balance sweetness or salt. Enjoy delicious beer-free creations like Malted Root Beer Sourdough Bread!
