Instructions
- Begin by shucking the corn, ensuring that all husks and silks are completely removed to expose the kernels.
- Rinse the corn under cold water to wash away any remaining debris.
- In a large dish or a resealable plastic bag, place the corn and pour the beer over it, making sure the corn is fully submerged. Cover the dish or seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 to 8 hours, though letting it soak overnight will yield even better results.
- Once the soaking time is complete, drain the corn and preheat your grill to high heat. Place the corn on the grill, turning it frequently until it is cooked through and has grill marks, which should take about 5 minutes.
- For those who prefer a smokier flavor, you can opt to use a smoker. Preheat the smoker to 250°F, then arrange the corn on the racks, stacking them if necessary. Cook for 1 to 2 hours, turning every 20 minutes, until the kernels are tender and give easily under pressure.
- Serve immediately, enjoying the flavorful, juicy corn as a perfect side dish for any summer meal.
