Popcorn Lobster With Creamy Lager-Mustard Sauce

• 2 (12-oz.) bottles lager beer
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh chives
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
• 8 cups water
• 2 (1 1/4- to 1 1/2-lb.) live Maine new shell lobsters
• 1 cup (about 4 1/4 oz.) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 cup panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs)
• Vegetable oil, for frying

1. Pour 1 of the beers into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1/8 cup, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat, and cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Transfer reduced beer to a medium bowl. Add sour cream, whole-grain mustard, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, chives, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt; whisk to combine. Set aside.
2. Bring water to a boil in a large stockpot over high. Add lobsters, and cook 6 minutes. Transfer lobsters to a bowl of ice and water. Using scissors or a chef's knife, remove the tail and claws. Remove the meat, and cut meat into 1-inch pieces. Discard shell.
3. Stir together flour, cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and remaining 1 beer in a medium bowl. Place panko in a separate bowl. Dip lobster pieces in flour mixture, shaking off any excess, and roll in panko.
4. Pour oil to a depth of 3 inches into a heavy-bottomed stockpot or Dutch oven; heat to 325u0b0F. Working in batches, add coated lobster pieces, and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, and sprinkle fried lobster evenly with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve hot with lager-mustard sauce.
