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,…
Chocolate
Xocomisu Charred
Since the release of Stone’s Xocoveza for the winter season, our household has not once gone a week without a 6-pack. As we made our weekly pilgrimage to a local beer and wine shop, a bottle of Stone’s Xocoveza Charred called to us from its fancy crate box display, gleaming under a spotlight, promising glory…
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…
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…
Double Stout S’more Cupcakes

Double Mountain Chocolate Cake

I am a big fan of chocolate cake with White Mountain Frosting, a Betty Crocker recipe that I originally…
w00t Stout 2.0 Cocoa Coffee Beer Bread
A $13 Beer Being an avid follower of both Wil Wheaton and Stone on the interwebs, I have heard of w00t Stout 2.0. This intense stout is a collaboration, and the second of its kind, by internet’s favorite Wil Weaton, Drew Curtis and the lovely and always funny Aisha Tyler. I was at Stone Bistro…
Black’s Dawn Chocolate Chunk Bread
The Hidden Gem I recently found out that Cismontane Brewing was right down the street from when I am. The fact that this place existed for four years without my knowledge is disappointing in my own eyes. I forgave myself eventually and became a regular at this establishment. Eventually I asked the fine pourers of beer…
