No Jim, I've never tried either beer, or wine in a dish.
Always seemed to me to be more of an affectation than anything else. One time we had a church picnic where the Ks of C were in charge of brats. They were steamed in a bath of beer, onions, and green peppers. My unsophisticated palate was incapable of appreciating the difference between those and ones just steamed with plain old water.
