This blog has always been about pushing craft beer forward. The importance of the flavors that come with good beer, and how to explore those in a new way. From the beginning you got that and you stood next to me, exposing people to craft beer through food by sharing the recipes I’ve posted.

And today, we got a win. Just hours ago Saveur, a leader in field of culinary exploration, announced the finalist for the Best Food Blog Awards. Out of the 1.3 million food blogs world wide, The Beeroness was nominated along with just 5 others as one of the Best Original Recipe Blogs.

That’s us. You, me, good food and great beer. It’s a huge step when it comes to showing the world how important good beer is. It’s  a huge indicator that "cooking with beer" is no longer seen as beer can chicken made with a pale macro lager. It’s important flavors and practical applications. It’s us pushing beer onto the same playing field as wine.

Let’s show people that craft beer is a culinary force to be reckoned with.

Vote for The Beeroness for The Best Original Recipes in the Saveur Food Blog Awards. It takes about a minute to register before you can vote. It’s a vote for craft beer, and what it does to food. It’s a way to show people who dynamic beer can be.

My wife called and said she was working late and I needed to make dinner. Pulled out my iPhone and this recipe was the first post that popped up on Facebook. Guess it was fate that’s what we were having for dinner tonight. The only beer I had close to a Belgian in my cellar was the Abt 12 Brouwerij St Bernardus. I made it with basmati rice. The dish came out great and my wife was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the recipe!

Made this for my wife with a homebrewed witbier from our wedding…excellent result with a minor mod to use virgin coconut oil in place of olive to kick up the coconut character! The little lady was pleasantly surprised, I always head here when I want to try out a different recipe!

Did this tonight with great results, but I did a couple major adjustments. I couldn’t quite see why there were only two thighs used for so many liquid ingredients. I used a whole pack of six smallish thighs with great results and have plenty of leftovers for lunch! I also needed a lot longer simmering time to get it as thick as I’d like it, but I suppose that’s a matter of taste.

Still, the flavor was spot on.

Love your recipes, Jackie, and always happy to get a new one!

Regards,
Bob
