The book we used to cook the great food from our 2009 Beer Garden Dinner is: Great Food Great Beer, the Anheuser-Busch cookbook; ISBN-13: 978-0-376-02048 OR ISBN-10: 0-376-02048-2.  Please remember to visit your local book store to purchase.  Dakota Gifts and Books to Go on main street in Devils Lake is great about ordering in books and will gladly help you locate this book at no extra cost.  I will only take the space to post one recipe from our supper here, the Hazelnut Green Bean Salad:

Green Bean and Hazelnut Salad - from the Great Food Great Beer cookbook:
3/4 cup hazelnuts
8 cups packaged green beans about 1 1/2 pounds total-( be sure to check out your local farmers market for these!)
2 tablespoons chopped from Mint (available from gardendwellers FARM)
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup hazelnut or extra virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and bake until golden under the skins - 10 to 15 minutes.  When the nuts are cool enough tohandle, rub in a kitchen towel to remove as many skins as possible.  Chop coarsely and set aside.  In a large pot over high heat, bring 3 quarts of salted water to a boil.  Add the green beans and cook just until crisp-tender, 4 to 7 mintues.  Drain in a colander, then plunge the beans into a bowl of ice water to cool. Drain again and set aside.  In a small borl, stir together the mint, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt to make the dressing.  Drizzle in the oil whicking  constantly.  In a large bowl, gently toss the beans with the dressing and hazelnuts.  Serve at room temperature.
