Team Event Cooking Course
Cooking with beer is fun and can bring great results if you choose the right beer for the right food. With the right cooking technique, it can not only make food taste better, but also improve it: crispier batter fries, softer breads and cakes, flavoured risottos and innovative desserts. There is a world to discover in cooking food with beer, with techniques from different cultures and cuisines.
With our partner chefs Janneke Peters and Sunrita we have created a fun cooking course for everyone to discover Fermento beers and cook delicious recipes with them. This is a unique experience to share with friends, family or colleagues, guided by our team of chefs and brewers to:
A guided cooking course experience led by our chef and brewer
Our chefs are qualified professionals with experience in conducting cooking courses. All cooking steps will be clearly instructed in a friendly and pleasant atmosphere. Our brewmaster will also lead the beer tasting together with the prepared food.
All ingredients chosen are local, of high quality, including Fermento‘s award-winning beers.
The duration of the cooking course will be approximately 3.5 hours, including preparation time and dinner time together.
Friendly and professional atmosphere for your team event
A team of professionals guides the experience throughout the team event. Flexible, uncomplicated and fun, we make all our events enjoyable for everyone. No previous experience or tasting skills are required.
A bright and spacious kitchen with everything you need to share a pleasant experience. The Markthalle is known in Basel for its fine food stalls, regional markets, authentic fresh products, and seating in a cosy atmosphere with bars and small shops.
It is the perfect place for our cooking course and dining experience. Markthalle is 5-minute walk fom Basel Central Station (SBB).

The price is CHF 145 and includes the cookery course, a 3-course menu, a guided beer tasting and craft beers.
Many thanks, Raffaele, for the successful evening, beer with food pairing at Milchhüsli Allschwil. Great presentation and super tasting!
At a recent gourmet event organised by Fermento Brewery, I was introduced to one of the most delicious food and beer pairings.

Cooking with beer is fun and can yield great results if you choose the right beer for the right food. With the most suitable cooking technique, you can not only make food taste better but also improve it: crispier batter-fried food, softer bread and cakes, flavored risotto and innovative desserts. Beer makes meat more tender, baked chicken juicier and crispier, mussels meatier and beer sauces more balanced.
Tempura is a popular Japanese dish in which the ingredients (usually vegetables and seafood) are lightly battered and deep fried. Replace ice-cold water with Fermento beer “Weizen Mistral” instead. It makes the crust exactly right texture. Light and crispy! A cold Mistral wheat is the perfect accompaniment to the warm tempura
Great news to share! Fermento Liberica was awarded the gold medal at the “Frankfurt International Trophy“ competition. A fine achievement for this award-winning beer after the silver medal it won in 2022 at the Swiss Beer Award. Upon invitation, we chose to participate with our Liberica because the competition has a strong connection to the world of gastronomy and, each year, the honorary president of the competition is a renowned chef.
The beef stew is always very well received, because it has all the 5 flavours- salt, sweet, sour, bitter and umami in it. The beer makes the meat even more tender and also the sweetness of the honey coming from the beer goes very well with the Läckerli. A Fermento Ventuno beer alongside the stew is of course a must.
The fine beer-flavoured “Deconstructed stout cannoli” (Cannolo scomposto alla Birra) is a delicious variation of the iconic Sicilian Cannolo, a fried rolled bubbly wafer filled with sweet ricotta cheese. In this dessert recipe, the waffle is deconstructed (broken down) and sprinkled over the ricotta cream, enriched with a touch of Fermento Liberica stout-based sauce, which imparts a refined chocolate and coffee flavour.
