Family Beer Waffles: It Took 3 Years To Get This Recipe Right I decided ten minutes ago to share this recipe. It’s of the personal sort, the “not for a client, just for me,” sort. It’s the recipe I’ve been tweaking for years trying to get just right. It’s the recipe I make for family,… Read More
Crab Tarts with Saison Béarnaise Sauce This is because I don’t care. I don’t care that “blogging is dead,” so says everyone who spikes higher on SEO than I do. I don’t care that this is not a very googleable recipe, therefore it won’t earn me much incoming search engine traffic. Your capacity to care… Read More
Drunk Diablo: Chocolate Stout Devils Food Cake with Mexican Hot Chocolate Frosting When you have a weird job, there are two categories of projects you work on. The first types are the reasons you got into this in the first place. The love projects. The creative soul projects. The goosebumps and fevered excitement projects. Those are the ones… Read More
Sweet and Sticky Garlic Stout Beef, 20 minutes and it’s so good! I’m on an airplane, somewhere over South America, between Panama and Huston, Texas. I’m trying to remember waking up this morning, but sleeping the night before I leave a trip is always impossible. My brain is processing what I’m leaving, the sunburn I’m… Read More
Grilled Lime and Herb Beer Chicken I have a beer fridge in my office!! There really isn’t a way to overstate how happy this makes me. My excessive stash of beer that once took up residence in my regular-food-fridge is now happily occupying a boozy-VIP-space in my office between some nerdy books and a weird ceramic… Read More
Stouts and Scouts: No-Churn Thin Mint Beer Ice Cream. Ten-minute prep! This is my exception. Really, the only one. I have an aversion to mint that started in a cave in Middle Atlas the day before I almost died in Morocco. But the thing is, if you are ever in a cave in Middle Atlas… Read More
Mushroom Stout Not-Bolognese AKA Best Vegetarian Pasta Sauce Ever This isn’t a bolognese, I know that because my proper bolognese with tons of pork and beef is the stuff of dreams. There really isn’t a word for this sauce, it’s vegetable based but as meaty as you can get without the meat. I’m knee deep… Read More
Blood Orange Beer Roast Chicken Let’s forget for a second that we’ve never actually met. After all, it’s easy to pretend that we know each other. I’ve told you about the time I almost died in Morocco, and the time I was asked to do porn, but we’ve never shared a beer in real life.… Read More
Individual Stout Mousse Cakes with Flambé Bourbon Beer Cherries This is for you. Or really, it’s for us. Because I decided a long time ago to redefine Valentine’s day to be about more than just romantic love (although I pretty much covered romantic love that time I wrote about blowjobs). Valentines is about the people… Read More
Instant Pot Duck Ale Chili People ask me a lot of questions. Obviously, I have a weird life and weird job that warrants question asking from strangers and well-intentioned people at dinner parties that can’t wrap their brains around this being a real job. I get it, I still have a hard time believing that this… Read More
Chipotle Pale Ale Polenta with Stout Braised Mushrooms I have something to tell you. I’m writing another book, a cookbook, obviously. It’s a book I’ve wanted to write for a while, a book that I’m excited to create. It’ll focus on cooking with not only beer, but with in-season produce. It’ll break down the seasons,… Read More
Mozzarella and Beer Pesto Stuffed Flank steak I was on top of a mountain last week and I saw a dinosaur. Not a real one, obviously, I’m not crazy. I’d taken a gondola ride up to the summit of Mount Rainier, the very top, no more left to climb. There he was, right below the… Read More
Fiery Thai Kettle Chips and Sweet Potato Burgers with Beer Sweet Chili Cream Sauce I was a vegetarian for 3 years. Mostly because I grew up on a farm, and I saw how the sausage was made. It didn’t stick, but what did stick is my true and complete love for non-meat burgers (and yes,… Read More
Stout Cranberry Mascarpone Chocolate Truffles I do this thing every year, and I think you should do it, too. It’s about resolutions. I make one every year, but they aren’t about denying myself things in a way that I will spend the year torturing myself with goals that revolve around fitness or money. They’re about… Read More
Pink Peppercorn Crusted Sous Vide Pork Loin with Caramelized Pan Sauce I need to tell you about this, and then I’m going to give it to you. Imagine a Keurig, or a bread machine, but it makes beer. PERFECT beer, with just a few steps. It can even make an exact clone of a beer… Read More
Beer Chicken Tortilla Soup, best 20 minute soup ever. You’d be shocked if you knew how many nights I lay away wondering what you want me to make. Trying to predict what it is that you’ll take notice of, share, and love as much as I do. Sometimes I go too far with it and… Read More
Beer and Brown Sugar Sweet Potatoes, an easy one pot dish that tastes like doughnuts and beer! We all like to tell the same lie to each other when we’re preparing for Thanksgiving.

Punk in Drublic Beer Battered Buffalo Cauliflower (vegan) You know what’s punk rock? Beer. NOFX. Making a beer with NOFX. Pouring beer into your food. Deep frying things you aren’t supposed to deep fry. Fat Mike wearing brewing clamps as handcuffs. You know else? Punk in Drublic—the dirty bastard child that resulted from the union… Read More
