  • Troegs Java Head Stout

  • Irish Uprising
    • ]]>     A dark, full-bodied, roasty ale with a slight oatmeal note in the background. It has a slight roasted-grain flavor and aroma, like bitter chocolate, which helps dry the finish.  A subtle earthy character makes this a beer perfect for the fall season and a crisp evening.

    • ]]>     Is there anything better than a Franziskaner (no lemon!) on a summer day?   Answer: YES – include an authentic soft pretzel with it.    This is one of my fondest memories (Weissbier + soft pretzels) of the now defunct Baltimore Brewing Co.

    We were sitting at home Saturday night after a busy day doing various activities.   Decided to watch a taped episode of Food Networks Throwdown w/ Bobby Flay.   Just happened to be about soft pretzels (history here).
    One thing led to another and before you know it we were whipping out a batch of homemade pretzels (Yum!).     Now we just need to find some authentic Bavarian mustard, not the silly crap they sell in stores around here.
    Here is the recipe.    These pretzels are firm on the outside and doughy on the inside.  Look for these to make an appearance again.   NOTE:  be careful when you add the baking soda to boiling water.   It creates quite a reaction.
