Hipsters, Bitterness and a Terrible Production I am starting to move away from baking and starting to venture into more savory dishes that require more sautéing, broiling, and frying. Sure baking will definitely still be around as my sweet tooth will be the cause of my diabetes. But let me tell you, tasting delicious beers…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Dipped Strawberries
Simplicity Can be Sexy The phrase significant other irks me in a weird way. It is a formal expression of someone you love. You don’t refer to your mom as the birth giver do you? If you are in need of a somewhat quick and easy dessert to indulge your lover with this Valentines day,…
Wolf Pup Beer Cheese
Return of the Wolf One of our earlier recipes featured a cheesy bread made with Wolf Among Weeds Double IPA. Since then Golden Road has released the wolf pack with their Wolf Mother Triple IPA and Wolf Pup session IPA. Today we will once again merge cheese with another wolf. The hoppy flavors from the…
Pumpkin Patch Beer Bread
Farm to Bottle So I am a big fan of controlling the end-to-end experience. Disney does this really well. Apple used to do this really well. And in the craft beer community, Rogue does this really well. As a developer, you will sometimes throw your hands in the air and say, “fuck it, I will…

Loser Stuffing Beer Bread
I have been wallowing in sugar lately. This is possibly due to a case of sickness and a wisdom tooth operation that has made me sedentary, self indulgent, and anxious. However, this time of the year, I drop the sugar, milk and eggs and return to the basics: flour, water and sugar. I notice I…
Peanut Butter Cookie Bars with Chocolate Porter Ganache
Did I Mention I like Peanut Butter? It is no surprise that I am a one-trick pony these days. I am proselytizing the hell out of the our lord and savior peanut butter. But can you blame me? I mean, look at how the peanut butter teases the chocolate and visa versa. These two are…
Peanut Butter Milk Stout Cupcakes
Forever Peanut Butter Have you ever been in love with food. Not just adamant love and affection for a food product, but rather when you contemplate spending your life with one thing, you think of this food product. That is how I feel about peanut butter. I love it so much that I wrote a…
Oktoberfest Butternut Squash
Regret Turned Recipe I currently been running through a plethora of pumpkin ales , sifting through the warm flavors to see what would make an excellent recipe in the upcoming months. Amongst wading through the cinnamon and nutmeg flavors, I took a break and shifted focus to another seasonal favorite. I am talking about the…
