This recipe is easy for the grill, campfire, or oven. Inside foil, Summerfest simmers with the fish and veggies, creating a golden juice that highlights the brew’s faintly sweet malt flavors and spicy hop character. The skin releases its grip on the meat for effortless, beautiful flakes of trout.
Looks and tastes fancy, but it’s designed for the most entry-level cooks.
Ingredients
- 1 boneless trout
- 2 ounces Summerfest
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 cup summer vegetables, cut small
- 1 lemon, sliced thin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 piece of foil wrap
Step 1
Preheat your oven* to 350º Fahrenheit.
*If using a grill, move the coals to one side and cover the grill with a lid. If using a campfire, place the foil packet directly on a bed of coals. (Note: double wrap the foil to avoid ripping.) Cooking times may vary; reach an internal temperature of 145º Fahrenheit.

Step 2
Spread the trout on the foil wrap. Sprinkle the inside of the trout with salt and pepper, add lemon slices and butter, and fold the trout closed.
Step 3
Top the folded trout with your favorite vegetables. Pour the Summerfest atop the medley, filling a glass with the remaining beer to enjoy on the side.
Step 4
Enclose the trout and fixings in the foil wrap, being sure to crimp the foil well to ensure a good seal. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10–15 minutes.
Step 5
Remove and carefully cut open the foil wrap to release the glorious, steamy aroma and dive in.
