    Victory is great. We have a lot of awesome breweries in PA.

    I don't know what breakfast fruits are, but grapefruits are awesome and I wish I could eat them.

    Breakfast fruits, fruits to which you would eat with a breakfast. Oranges, Grapefruits, maybe even some grapes if you're fancy.

    I don't see why those are breakfasty fruits though. The few times I eat fruit with breakfast it's usually bananas and sometimes pineapple.

    Try the Harpoon Big Squeeze, it's a grapefruit shandy that's quite delicious.

    Speaking of hop and shades of dark, I tried the Stone 18th anno beer. It is a brown single hop varietal IPA featuring El Dorado hops. It said 8% on the bottle, but I went through the bomber very easily, and the head was almost belgian-pillowy.

    Plus I think they are only like 7% and they are already a bit mediocre fresh. You could fix the clear glass issue just by keeping it in the dark, but not the other two problems.

    Recently got to try Lakewood (local Dallas brewery) second anniversary beer, Lionshare II.

    It was awine barrel-aged Berliner-Weisse aged on black currants, which has a pink color and very light sour and fruit notes.

    It was interesting, though it tasted more carbonated than I'm used to. Also at 8 bucks for draft and a 3.6 alcohol content I'm not sure how often I'll be getting it.

    Worth at least tasting it though.

    Really good stuff, it seems like they've had a much larger distribution this year. The local grocery was even doing growler fills for it.

    They have it in Brown bottles at the local store, and apparently scotch ales are pretty common to cellar. Plus it's been barrel aged.

    I think it's a fine beer. I certainly can't drink more then one in an evening, such vanila.

    Okay which Innis & Gunn brew are you talking about? I've never seen it in a brown bottle.

    My father had a gift for me when I visited last night:

    vPSf04ml.jpg?1

    A mixed 12 from Paper City brewing in Holyoke, MA. I'm working on a One Eared Monkey, a Peach ale. It tastes like drinking the juice from a single serve cup of fruit cocktail. Depending on how you feel about that, it's either vile or delicious.

    I've got a peach and milk stout custard pie in the oven, and it looks and smells amazing. So that got me thinking about cooking with beer, y'all. What are your favorite beer-centric recipes you've made or eaten in the past? I mean, beer can go in just about anything, but I'm thinking recipes where the beer actually makes a difference.

    I think mine might be the IPA mustard which I slather on everything, but as far as a whole meal I really the enjoyed saison-battered corndogs I made last year. I've also made salsa & beer and/or barbecue sauce & beer pulled pork/chicken consistently since college, so that might be my #1.

    I cannot bring myself to cook with beer. I don't want to waste it in case I mess up. I am also a cautious cook, so i stick to the same things most of the time. I do boil hotdogs in cheap beer once in a while, but that is pretty much it for cooking with beer

    Paper City - Holyoke Mass
    Holyoke Dam Ale - I liked it, it's supposed to be an american pale ale, but it's a lot more like an Old Ale - almost scotch ale like in flavor and thickness. It's a bit too bitter, particularly if you let it warm on your tongue, but not enough that it ruins the beer.
    P.C. Blue - a decent Blueberry beer, not too strongly flavored, nice and tart, tastes of real blueberries and not blueberry "flavor".
    One Eared Monkey - Again, like drinking the juice from a cup of fruit cocktail. Weird, but fun. Made me feel like I was six years old.
    Ireland Parish Golden Ale - Not crazy about it. It's a little too...Raph. Too bitter and acrid for a Golden Ale. It was the last one I tried, so my palate was pretty much blown out after that Holyoke Dam Ale, I'm going to try it again tomorrow while I'm making dinner and see if I like it better on a fresh tongue.

    Overall - I wouldn't go out of my way to have any of these again, and I'm not exactly keen to actually GO to Holyoke to visit the brewery...I've been there enough in my life, my Dad's from Chicopee MA, right across the river. Oh well. I love drinking new beers.

    I'd also love to reverse engineer this recipe since dude didn't write anything down.

    Alternatively, try your favorite dark beer to add richness to chilli. I've also heard IPA's really bring the fire for chili, but I live with a bunch of chili wusses, so I can't confirm or deny that.

    Hello. I recently made the greatest ever chilli I have ever made. The only two differences to the recipe compared to the usual were:

    Chunks of meat instead of mince.
    Beer.

    Seriously, beer chilli is the best.

    Chili is always the safest canvas to play with. It's very hard to make "Bad" chili, it just taste different. Anything that taste good in a cup is going to be good on the plate as well.

    Remember: Hoppy= Spicy, Malty = Savory.
