1Heat the beer in a saucepan over low heat until it reaches 110 degrees F (45 degrees C).
2Combine the warm beer, sugar, and 2 teaspoons kosher salt in a bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top, and let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
3Place the bread flour and butter in a bread machine. Add the yeast mixture, then select the dough cycle.
4Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
5Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or grease with vegetable oil.
6Beat the egg yolk in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon water; set aside.
7Stir baking soda into 10 cups water in a large pot until dissolved, and bring to a boil.
8Turn the dough out onto a lightly-oiled surface, and roll into a 10x20-inch rectangle.
9Cut the dough into 18 1-inch wide strips, then wrap each strip tightly around a hot dog in a spiral, pinching the edges to seal, and leaving the ends open. About half an inch of hot dog should peek out of each end of the dough wrapper.
10Drop 2 or 3 dough-wrapped hot dogs into the boiling water for 30 seconds.
11Arrange the boiled hot dogs on the prepared baking sheets. Brush each pretzel dog with the egg yolk mixture, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup salt.
12Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
