The One That Started it All! Over the past few months, I have been releasing a series of chocolate bar recipes. They are truly one of my favorite endeavors recently and certainly my favorite no bake recipe. For those looking to get into baking but don’t want to engage in the chemical reaction that occurs…

Xocoveza Cupcakes
They are Back Okay. Imagine that one friend you see once a year. You are always excited to see them. You both have a blast when you are together. Although they are only around for a little bit, you cherish those moments spent. That is Stone’s Xocoveza. The mocha stout pours black with a tan…
Yeti Mint Chocolate Bars
Continuing with Chocolate Bars After a year in the making, I am finally releasing a series of craft beer inspired chocolate bars. The Cosmic Ristretto Bites infused dark chocolate and coffee flavors. The next release was our Patsy Bars which abandoned darkness for smooth coconut buttery goodness. In our next release, I want to return…
The Patsy Coconut Beer Bread
Playing with Coconut Coconut flour is one of those ingredients that I have always loved from afar, but unwilling to use in any recipe due to fear of failure. Today is the day we end this fear. Now when using bread flour or all-purpose flour without the assistance of yeast has always been tough. I…
The Patsy Bars
Bake or No Bake I have been experimenting with no bake chocolate bars for some time now. However, a few weeks ago was the first time a shared a no bake recipe with Green Flash Cosmic Ristretto chocolate bites. The reasoning behind this is that I wasn’t sure if adding few drops of craft beer…
Tart Of Darkness Jam
Sour Jam As summer comes to an end I reflect back on how there was a lack of cool refreshing lagers and ales. Rather, this has been the summer of sours. As a person who enjoys slicing a lime and eating plain, I enjoy the mouth-puckering effect that comes sours bring to the face. Although…
Saison du BUFF Beer Bread
Reminder of a Time Before Self Doubt (aka Childhood) I am not the biggest fan of southern Italian cuisine. I prefer my noodly dishes to be accompanied by flavors like dashi and miso as opposed to cream and tomatoes. However, everyone is in love with their mother’s cooking and my mother was able to make…
w00tstout Beer Bread 2016
High End When creating my first w00tstout beer bread, my one qualm with the beer was its price. A $13 beer in 2014 seemed outrageous to me. Now in 2016, it is common place. The Bruery’s Tart of Darkness, which happens to be my current favorite sour beer, sells for $18 on average. But it…
Cosmic Ristretto Chocolate Bites
Nostalgia and Acid You can taste the acid in Green Flash’s Cosmic Ristretto. The Baltic porter reminds me of coffee. I thrive for that acidic flavor, even at the sake of having some intense acid reflux. Bad behaviors aside, it got me wanting to make more coffee flavored dishes. Stone Mocha IPA cupcakes is just…
Mocha IPA Cupcakes
Whenever developing websites, like this one for example, you tend to work where can. I tend to work where there is an abundance of internet. Albeit a couple of small brew houses with creamy horchata lattes do exist, I am usually confined to the corporate ambiance and caffeine of a Starbucks. The observation I notice…
