Good Scotch is magic. The trouble with acquiring a taste for Scotch (like a taste for wine) is that you then have to pay the exorbitant prices. Worth it, though.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Joseph Smith was an American! There is no way that beer battered food fried hot in a vat of wonderful oil would be considered unholy by a Real American. :razz:

As to food the other day at a BBQ I had some wonderful pulled pork that had first been smoked 10 hrs and then put in a slow cooker with Sam Adams for another 4 hrs. Our host was obviously a dedicated cook.

Morley,

I wish you luck in the pie making business. You won't regret it and there is no turning back!

My next: key lime

Oh, last night I used two beer bottles to plug the pump lines under the hot tub. Good thing I had an empty bottle on hand. I had to drink another to free up the second bottle.

My family never considered food prepared with alcohol as breaking the WOW.

Mine doesn't either.
But they drew the line at allowing me to neck a glass of Nuit St George whilst I was BBQ'ing. Apparently the alcohol is supposed to go into the food before cooking as opposed to it mingling après consumption...

Myth: Alcohol Bakes Off in the Oven

False. You won't be drunk after eating one piece of Aunt Jean's rum cake, but there is still some alcohol in it. Alcohol has a lower boiling point than water, which is why people think it disappears in sauces and baked goods. But when you simmer a sauce containing wine or liquor, up to 50 percent of the alcohol can remain, says Robert Wolke, professor emeritus of chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh and the author of What Einstein Told His Cook: Kitchen Science Explained ($45, amazon.com). The percentage depends on how long it simmers and other factors, like the size of the pan. When you’re baking a cake, the evaporated alcohol has to work its way out of the batter, so even less will “burn off” than in an open pan. Wolke also points out that rum is added for moisture as well as flavor. If it evaporated completely, you’d be left with a cake that wouldn’t be as moist as it should be.

There ya go. The alcohol does not cook or bake out. Likely doesn't fry out either.

Personally, I like beer battered stuff, as long as the batter isn't too thick. I'm not a fan of beer/cheese soup, though.
