First Time in Canada On Black Friday this year, I opted out of shopping and left the country. Not to escape the chaos that ensues, but to explore Vancouver, a city that is now in my backyard. When visiting Vancouver, try some poutine and check out some of the beautiful parks like Lynn Canyon. But…

Xocoveza Chiffon Cake
Chocolate, Spice and Everything Nice I get that really warm felling in my belly. Not the warm feeling that is caused by your acid reflux but that feeling that comes when you are finally able to get ahold of Stone’s Xocoveza. This imperial stout reminds me of Mexican hot chocolate. Chris banker, I do not…
Sour Saison Stuffing
“Stuffing is savory bread pudding.” That was a showered thought I had the other day. But it definitely holds up. Instead of milk and butter, I am using turkey broth and butter. Make a beer bread, and you have yourself a very similar product that varies differently in flavors. This has nothing to do with…
pFriem Squash Pie
Lets Talk About Pumpkin I am not the biggest fan of pumpkin beers, but I do indulge in them every year. My main concern, which I have ranted about in the past is that pumpkin is flavorless. It is merely a catalyst for what you really like which is sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. These flavors…
Reuben’s Pilsner Stuffing
Sweet Beer Bread for a Sweet Stuffing This year, I made way too much food for only two people. But that is okay. I love some of the creative ways to use turkey. One recipe that our household created was butternut squash and turkey Massaman curry. Thai curries are always a house favorite aside from…
Reuben’s Pilsner Stuffing Beer Bread
High Fructose Corn Syrup in Stuffing Mixes I was in my local grocery store this past weekend gathering goods for Thanksgiving. It is one of my favorite holidays as it is an excuse for cooking, one of greatest activities in existence. I typically try to make everything from scratch if I can, but I recognize…
Hop Highway Andouille Corn Dog
Lets Steal It! Belching Beaver has been the craft beer big brother in my life. It hasn’t been around all too long but it feels like it has been around all my life. There stouts are the forefront of my desire towards the beaver with their hoppy IPAs and Me So Honey taking a back…
Smash Tempura Beer Batter
Beer Batter and Beer This week has been quite a busy one and haven’t been able to get a recipe out on my usual Tuesday schedule. Keeping on schedule is for well adjusted people anyways. The weekend, the time when internet usage drops off, is clearly the best time to post a new recipe. It…
Smoked Chipotle Beer Dip
More Smoke After making the w00tstout cupcakes last week, I realized that I needed more smoke in my life. Put smoke in all the things. Since I still had a little bit of w00tstout left in my life, why put it in my belly and turn it into pee when I can use the remaining…
Blackberry Shortbread Wenchies
When life gives you a Ballast Point Sour Wench, you make Blackberry Wench Jam. When Baking Brew gives you a Blackberry Wench Jam recipe, you make jam filled shortbread cookies. As an enthusiast for sour beers and lambics, I was so excited to try another sour made by the creators of the Grapefruit Sculpin, one…
