In high school I had a guidance councilor ask me what I thought I would be when I grew up. Not “what do you want to be” but “what do you think you will be,” much different questions for a kid, and much more accurate window into the future. I thought about it for a […]

White Bean White Ale and Ham Soup
Most of the phases of life we live fade in a way that we don’t really know the exact moment it ends. We don’t always know the day we stopped being children or the moment we fell out of love, or the day a big friendships started to drift away. With moving, you know. You […]
Hello Seattle + Spicy Steamed Mussels in Beer
Photos in this post were taken in Seattle with vintage Polaroid cameras by my incredibly talented sister Kim van Groos Check out her Flickr, it’s very impressive. I told you last week that I’m in the process of saying goodbye to Los Angeles. A process made easier by the fact that it will […]
Goodbye Los Angeles + Avocado Wit Beer Alfredo
The photos in this post were taken with a vintage film camera in or around Los Angeles over the past 10 years. I took them with a 1965 Nikon F (excluding the pasta photos) Los Angeles has become a part of me, imbedded itself into my soul and grew me into the person I have become. […]
Drunk Shrimp Diablo
I have a confession to make. I’ve been hiding my Instagram account from you under a different name. I changed my Instagram name to The Beeroness last week after I realized that you want to see my life. This is the hang up for me, the part that’s so hard to wrap my brain […]
Beer Fried Chicken
I’ve told you that in my Past Life Pre Blogging Existence I worked with gang kids in South Central LA. Like this kid, and this one. As a skinny, blonde haired, blue-eyed, 21-year-old, I didn’t exactly blend seamlessly into Compton and Watts. My Stand Out appearance was obvious to me, but it was other oddities about […]
Slow Cooker Beer Chicken Tacos with Jalapeno Slaw
I’ve often been accused of going overboard. Of being one of those people who just does too much. But it’s all smoke and mirrors in a way. I’m not as organized or even as interesting as I’d like you to think. I leave dishes in the sink far too long, my pantry is a mess […]
Mushroom Orzo and Stout Soup
Have I told you about the time I made a complete spectacle of myself on an international flight? It all started after I missed my perviously scheduled flight out of Spain, which is another story that involves churros and a bull fighting poster, and found myself in the middle of a sold out Madrid without […]
Tomato Herb and Beer Poached Cod with Caramelized Fennel
I started this adventure masked as a blog just over two years ago. I decided when I first hit publish that this wasn’t a “let’s see how this goes” endeavor. This is was a full force, every piece of my life, both feet, all chips on the table undertaking. I was all in. My stack […]
Beer Carnitas Pizza
When I was kid Mexican Pizza involved ice burg lettuce and cheap ground beef. Possibly the perfect example of how neither Mexican food or pizza were given proper credit for the potential they had to compete in the Fine Food arena. They were both disregarded as low brow for far too long, but then […]

About Jackie
I started TheBeeroness.com as a way to marry my love of food and good craft beer. It was my offering, in a way, to the craft beer scene. I wanted to be a part of this beer world I was so captivated by, but I didn’t brew. I could cook, and I could take a picture that didn’t suck, and that was my way of squeezing myself into the world of craft beer.
