You HAVE to make these: Everything Bagel Beer Butter and Potato Dinner Rolls If you were forced (yes FORCED) to rank all Thansgiving foods by how much you want to binge eat them, where would rolls rank?

Elote Beer and Bacon Corn Chowder It’s pretty obvious from the soup I’ve been making that I miss summer already.

Which doesn’t really… Read More
This week is a crossover, it’s a convergence of seasons and it’s my favorite part of the seasonal Venn diagram that makes up the year.

Almond Cake with Beer Caramelized Pineapples and Hibiscus Whipped Cream it’s officially Cake For No Reason Season.

Triple cheese, Chicken and Elote Stuffed Charred Poblano with Lager Avocado Sauce Have you replaced doom-scrolling with imagination vacations?

Beer Pickled Deviled Eggs with Goat Cheese and Coppa Do you like pickled things? And deviled eggs? Please say yes.

Szechuan Beer Shrimp I have to warn you about something. It’s Szechuan peppercorns.
