Use as setting lotion. Put some life back into flat hair with some flat beer. Before you get into the shower, mix 3 tablespoons beer in 1/2 cup warm water. After you shampoo your hair, rub in the solution, let it set for a couple of minutes, then rinse it off. You may be so pleased by what you see that you’ll want to keep a six-pack in the bathroom.
Soften up tough meat. Who needs powdered meat tenderizer when you have some in a can? You guessed it: Beer makes a great tenderizer for tough, inexpensive cuts of meat. Pour a can over the meat, and let it soak in for about an hour before cooking. Even better, marinate it overnight in the fridge, or put the beer in your slow cooker with the meat.
Clean wood furniture. Have you got some beer that’s old or has gone flat? Use it to clean wooden furniture. Just wipe it on with a soft cloth and then off with another dry cloth.
Polish gold jewelry. Get the shine back in your solid gold rings and other jewelry by pouring a bit of beer (not dark ale and not on gemstones!) onto a soft cloth and rubbing it gently over the piece. Use a clean second cloth or towel to dry.
Remove coffee or tea stains from rugs. Rub the beer lightly into the material, and the stain should disappear. You may have to repeat the process a couple of times to remove all traces of the stain.
