Beer-Honey Mustard

A recipe for making your own beer-honey mustard at home with whole grain mustard seeds.

Beer-Honey Mustard Recipe

I am super excited to have FINALLY received the mustard seeds I ordered a couple weeks ago. They took forever to get here, but it was worth the wait.

Mustard seeds are great for toasting lightly and including in a number of recipes for a pop of flavor, but you already KNOW what they are REALLY great for - homemade mustard!

We're not talking that yellow mustard kids squeeze onto hot dogs (though there's nothing wrong with that!).

Nope, we're talking homemade mustard with whole grains and all sorts of other ingredient goodness. The possibilities are endless. I see a LOT of homemade mustard in our future!

Perfect timing for summer, also.

You must have a good batch of mustard in the fridge all grilling season long. It is simply a must! An absolute must! This mustard recipe will get you started. It's a slightly sweet but quite potent beer-honey mustard that incorporates apple cider vinegar, beer, brown sugar and honey.

Very easy. Just a bit of mixing and waiting. Time to make the mustard!

Where to Buy Mustard Seeds

Where can you find mustard seeds? I get my mustard seeds through Amazon:

  • Brown Mustard Seeds
  • Yellow Mustard Seeds
  • Black Mustard Seeds

These are affiliate links, my friends! FYI. Enjoy!

Patty's Perspective

I'm a huge fan of stone ground mustard and this turned out really good. I'm super excited for all the endless mustard possibilities in the future, especially when Mike starts to experiment.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup brown mustard seeds
  • 1/3 cup yellow mustard seeds
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup beer I used a pale ale
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • To a large mixing bowl, add mustard seeds with cider and beer. Mix well. Pour into a large jar and seal.
  • Set the jar in a dry place overnight to let the seeds absorb the liquid, at least 12 hours. You will notice the seeds grow larger, but the mixture still looks like mustard seeds floating in liquid.
  • Stir in the brown sugar, honey and salt. Mix well.
  • Add to a food processor and process to your personal tastes. You can process only a little to keep most of the seeds, or go to town and really mix it together. I processed mine to about 80 percent, keeping a few seeds in there.
  • Set the mustard into a sterilized jar and serve! The flavors will keep developing as time goes by.
  • Enjoy!

    can you put this in a hot bath so the jars seal?

      You should be able to, Sharon, though I have not tested this recipe for canning.

    Mike, we’re from soft pretzel country and this beer mustard is the “bomb” on a warm soft pretzel!

    So I gave it a go, using pale ale as well, doubling the recipe and letting it sit for 48 hours. I ran it through a Ninja Bullet for 3 1-minutes cycles and then tasted it. It was sinus-clearingly spicy.
    I got some advice online: I added one cup of hot water to the mustard, placed it in a small Dutch oven, and simmered it for an hour, stirring occasionally. I Ninja’d 3x again, trying to achieve the smooth texture and homogenous color of the brand we buy.
    Ours now tastes Great; it’s a bit spunkier and the grainy texture and color is cool. It made 3 good-sized jars which will keep us happy for a small while... . Thanks for our new hobby!

    Am hoping this will be close to T.Joe pale ale honey mustard . Even tho we stocked Up, we've run out before it's come back in season.

    Even if it's only close, it looks terrific and I'll update how I do. Am ordering seeds Now...

    I like that there is 8 oz of beer left for the chef. How long will this last refrigerated?

      Agreed, Joseph. I see different information on how long mustard lasts. Prepared mustard can last for years if properly made, though you will experience loss of flavor and pungency. It also depends on the ingredients that go into it. Using an acid, like vinegar, will keep the mustard for longer. Just be sure to keep it properly sealed. Refrigeration is a best practice. This particular recipe should last 6-12 months refrigerated.

    I created a double batch of this and gave some out as Christmas gifts this year. Nothing but compliments. I appreciate the recipe. Thank you, Chili Pepper Madness. From a fellow spicy mustard lover. And beer lover.

    Hey Mike, I found I had to strain the liquids off of the seeds before processing, too soupy otherwise. I let them sit in the beer and cider for 18 hours too. Has this happened to you? Aside from that the consistency is about what you show in your photo. Sweet-sour-tangy!

      Deb, no, this is the ratio I use for every one of my mustard recipes and I have never had the issue you describe. Not sure if there was an issue with your measured ratios or perhaps the mustard seeds. It's worth trying again to see if you have the same issues. Otherwise, you can obviously adjust to your own preferences by using more or less liquid, more or fewer seeds, etc. Straining out the liquid will result in an overly thick mustard, which is what you may have been going for all along. Best of luck on the next batch.
