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
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
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
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. We pretend like the turkey is the hard part. It’s not, it’s just the main part. But, in reality, it’s pretty easy.… Read More
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
Buffalo Beer Chicken Wing Soup It occurs to me that in the event of a zombie apocalypse I have no useful skills. No one is weeks deep in a bunker, unshowered, clothes unchanged and thinks: “What I really need is someone to take a great picture of this MRE before I eat it.” Oh,… Read More
Kettle Brand Backyard Barbeque Chips Crusted Meatballs with Beer Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce + a HUGE giveaway!

Stout Romesco Dip (10 minutes, so good) This was been a woodwork year. One of those years when people from my distant past, from a time when I was a person who doesn’t exist anymore, come out of the woodwork to jump back into my life. They feel equal parts foreign and comfortable, like a… Read More
Beer and Bacon Biscuits, the flakiest, most addictive biscuits ever! I know what you’re thinking. It’s Cinco de Mayo and I’m posting about biscuits. But bear with me, this makes sense. This isn’t just hangover food. It’s THE hangover food, it’s carbs, and greasy bacon, and hair of the dog, all in one. It’s like a… Read More
BBQ Beer Tex Mex Chicken Sliders in just 20-minutes Hi, my friends. I made something for you, something that seemed a bit of a necessity this week. A repurposing of things we’ve made in order to make it new. After those Beer Pickled Jalapeños we made, and the beer BBQ sauce, it just felt like I… Read More
Slow Cooker Stout Caramelized Onion Dip I don’t do resolutions. That’s wrong. I do. Every year. Just not the ones that normal people do. Mine are never about giving things up, that’s desolate. Resolutions should give you hope about the future, not dread. I make resolutions that make me want to plow forward into the new year.… Read More
Which slider recipes will come out on top: Crab Cake Sliders made with Kettle Brand Sea Salt and Vinegar Chips, paired with a pilsner, or Shrimp and Grits Sliders made with Kettle Brand Maple Bacon Chips paired with an IPA? I’m going to wager a bet that your weekend may be spent, in part, gathered around a… Read More
Three Cheese Jalapeno Skillet Beer Cheese Dip, made in a skillet, warm and bubbly I’ve hit a benchmark of sorts. A way of measuring if I’m actually becoming successful at this weird chosen profession that I, essentially, just made up. Money has never been much of a benchmark for me, other than in a “can… Read More
Salt Roasted Mini Potatoes with Garlic Sage Beer Butter. The most delicious appetizer you can make with just ten minutes prep! I have a confession to make. Or possibly more of a reminder. It occurred to me, when I was posting this on instagram, that if you just stumbled upon this weird life that I… Read More

Baked Everything Bagel Beer Chicken Legs They tell me it’s all about the water. That’s what bagel people will tell you if you listen long enough. That New York bagels are obviously the best because of the magical properties that the water contains. That’s also, coincidentally enough, what beer people will tell you. That different… Read More
Easy Beer Cheese and Bacon Pull-apart Loaf I laughed so hard that it hurt. Coming back from the first night of brewery hopping, after a 7-hour drive up into the high desert of Oregon, I walked back to the hotel with my favorite travel companion laughing so hard I could hardly stand. Maybe the reason… Read More
