Grilled Beer Can Chicken

This recipe proves that beer is good for more than just drinking. Pick your favorite IPA and stuff it inside the cavity of your chicken. The beer steams on the grill and adds moisture to the chicken, while our beer-infused Cock-a-Doodle-Brew Rub adds even more frothy beer flavor to the skin as it crisps. Cheers!
