A Very Special Brew

 

Beer: Our Special Ale (2013)

Brewer: Anchor Brewing Company

Style: Winter Warmer

ABV: 5.50%

What’s so special about it? Anchor Brewing Company is widely considered an influential craft brewery and has long been at the forefront for a variety of beer styles, including this rich holiday classic. The first Our Special Ale bottles were released in 1975, the first true Christmas beer since Prohibition, and have been released yearly since. What makes them so special is that every year features a new label and recipe; not only is it unique, but it’s very collectible as well. The recipe is a closely guarded secret with no part of it being discussed openly by anyone at the brewery.

Description: Our Special Ale pours a deep russet brown with a creamy light coffee-colored head that leaves a thick lacing on the glass. The aroma hints at notes of caramel, roasted malts, molasses, cinnamon, and piney hops. The taste is a nice balance between roasted caramel malts and sweet holiday spicing, with just a touch of hops in the background for a secondary touch of spice: not overly complicated but extremely enjoyable. The medium body and moderate carbonation allow this beer to have a surprisingly dry finish despite the heavy appearance of the spicing. Every year this beer is different, but every year is absolutely fantastic. The 2013 recipe is no different – this beer creates a great amount of holiday cheer all by itself!

Food pairing: Our Special Ale is right at home with virtually any beef dish, whether it’s grilled, stewed, or roasted. Braised short ribs are breathtaking and always a nice match. However, with the cold winter now enveloping us, try pairing this with a hearty beef stew. The heartier the better; the subtle spicing and sweet malt bill will pair very well with it and combine to create an almost entirely new dish once all the flavors fuse together and wash over the palate. This is also a wonderful beer to have with your holiday desserts, whether they are decadent Christmas cakes, cookies, or a simple bowl of ice cream.

The final word: Anchor’s Our Special Ale has a rich tradition within the craft beer world, and for many, it has become the go-to holiday beer, and with good reason; it is absolutely fantastic. The fact that the recipe changes yearly also creates quite the buzz. It’s a highly collectible beer and a great one to age. Many people have kept bottles going back nearly 20 years and will have huge parties when cracking them all open to do side-by-side tastings and comparisons. All of this celebration around one beer makes it a great pick to have around during the holidays to enjoy with your friends and family.

Pumpkin Ale Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Serving: 8 rolls

Ingredients:

For the dough:

1/2 ounce active dry yeast

1/4 cup pumpkin ale

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

3 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/4 cup whole milk

1/4 cup plus 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

For the filling

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

4 tablespoons brown sugar

1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes

For the frosting

1 cup cream cheese, at room temperature

3 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted

1/4 cup butterscotch Schnapps

Directions: 

1. Heat the ale in a saucepan to about 110 degrees. Pour the ale into a bowl with the yeast and sugar, and whisk. Let it sit for about 10 minutes or until foamy. 
2. Once ready, add in the rest of the ingredients and combine with a mixer on low speed. Once all the ingredients are in, continue mixer on high speed until the dough pulls away from the bowl and is smooth. 
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough double in size in a warm area for about 45 minutes to an hour.
4. Once ready, pinch out the gas bubbles and roll out the dough to a length of 14 inches. 
5. Dust the dough with flour and gently roll until its 8 inches by 14 inches. Lightly brush the melted butter onto surface.
6. For the filling, mix the ingredients in a bowl until it’s a thick, spreadable paste and the chunks of butter are the size of peas. Spread on the dough, leaving a ¼ inch gap on the edge of the border.
7. Preheat the oven to 375. Roll the dough lengthwise, so that the finished log is about 14 inches long. Cut off the ends and cut the log into 8 even portions. Place the rolls on a buttered pan, spiral side up, side by side. Bake for 20 minutes.
8. To make the frosting, mix the cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth and lump-free. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add in the sugar. Once the sugar and cream cheese are mixed thoroughly, slowly add in the schnapps the same way as the sugar. 

   9. Spread on the rolls while they are still hot.

2X the Holiday Cheer!

Brewery- Southern Tier Brewing Co.

Beer- 2XMAS

Style- Herbed/Spiced Beer

ABV- 8.0%                                     

Brief Sidenote-  Southern Tier actually based the recipe for 2XMAS on a traditional Swedish Glögg recipe. Swedish Glögg is a spiced red wine served traditionally during winter, especially around the holidays.  So, 2XMAS is very much a great meeting point for wine and beer lovers alike.  

Description- Southern Tier 2XMAS pours a clear ruby red color showing  a slight golden hue with a mild beige head that quickly dissipates.  The aroma of figs, cinnamon, raisins, gingerbread, and slight hints of clove and orange will be evident upon your first smell of the beer.  Immediately upon your first sip the cinnamon and ginger spices will make an immediate appearance on your taste buds and the taste will linger long on your palate after swallowing.  The aftertaste has slight hints of caramel, along with the aforementioned spices, with a mild amount of heat from the alcohol, but not enough to detract from the experience.  2XMAS is a very malt forward beer with very little evidence of hops, mainly due to the spicing involved.  The carbonation in 2XMAS is very mild, but enough to rinse the palate after each sip.  This is a true holiday treat and no holiday celebration would be complete this year without this beer on the table.

Food pairing- Southern Tier 2XMAS is a perfect desert beer that is a dream for any chocoholic.  A true treat is to have some dark chocolate slowly melt in your mouth and just before it is all gone, take a nice sip of 2XMAS and let the beer linger in your mouth briefly, once you swallow you will be grinning from ear to ear.  Did Santa Claus leave some gingerbread cookies behind?  Well grab some 2XMAS and finish them off for him.  The spices in the beer and the gingerbread are a beautiful match and if Santa had some 2XMAS with his cookies, he may not leave any behind! 

The Final Word – Southern Tier has built up quite the reputation for award winning beers and every year they continue to release new beers that continue to amaze.  2XMAS was added to the beer lineup in 2012 and it has successfully made it into the seasonal rotation and with good reason!  This is a very unique take on the traditional higher ABV style and is also a great beer to serve to those friends who prefer wine; you just might win them over with this great beer!    2XMAS is a must to have every holiday season, so grab yourself some bottles and start a new holiday tradition!

Eggs, Bacon, and Green Panini

 

My review in The Weekender this week discussed Witte by Brewery Ommegang.  I mentioned that having an eggs, bacon, and greens panini would be a wonderful pairing dish with it and here is the recipe to try it for yourself!

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 8 slices thick-cut bacon
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• pinch of crushed red pepper
• 8 cups chopped greens
• 2/3 cup wheat beer
• 4 large eggs
• 4 ounces sliced sharp Cheddar cheese
• 8 pieces whole-grain bread

Instructions:

 • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon in two batches until crispy, turning occasionally. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

• Drain all but 1 tablespoon bacon grease from pan. Add the onion and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and stir for 30 seconds. Add the greens and beer, bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until beer is evaporated and the greens are tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

• Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Break eggs into skillet and cook over medium heat to desired doneness. 

• Preheat a panini press or heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Break the bacon slices in half. Arrange 4 pieces of bacon on 4 pieces of bread. (If using a skillet instead of a panini press, lightly butter the bread prior to assembly.) Top with the greens, an egg and some cheese. Top with remaining bread slices. Cook in the panini press until golden.

Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf Recipe

 Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf with Brown Sugar-Ketchup Glaze

Ingredients

Brown Sugar Ketchup Glaze
1/4 cup ketchup or chili sauce
2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons cider or white vinegar

Meat Loaf
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black paper
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worchestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
1/2 up milk, buttermilk or low-fat plain yogurt
2 pounds meat-loaf mix (2 parts ground chuck, 1 part ground veal, 1 part ground pork)
2/3 cups crushed saltine crackers (about 16) or quick oatmeal or 1 1/3 cups fresh bread crumbs
1/3 cup minced parsley
6 ounces thin-sliced bacon
Glaze

Directions

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.

Meat Loaf

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in a medium skillet. Add onion and garlic, saute until softened, about 5 minutes; set aside to cool.

Mix eggs with thyme, salt, pepper, mustard, Worchestershire, pepper sauce, and milk or yogurt. Add egg mixture to meat in a large bowl, along with crackers, oatmeal or bread crumbs, parsley and cook onions and garlic; mix with a fork until evenly blended and meat mixture does not stick to bowl. (If mixture does stick, add additional milk, a couple tablespoons at a time, and continue stirring until mixture stops sticking.)

Turn meat mixture onto a work surface. With wet hands, pat mixture into a loaf approximately 9 by 5 inches.

Cover a wire rack with foil; prick foil in several places with a fork. Place a rack on a shallow roasting pan lined with foil for easy cleanup.

Set formed loaf on rack. Brush loaf with all of glaze, then arrange bacon slices, crosswise, over loaf, overlapping them slightly and tucking them under to prevent curling.

Bake loaf until bacon is crisp and loaf registers 160 degrees, about 1 hour. Cool for at least 20 minutes. Slice and serve.

Local Picked Pumpkin

Brewer- Susquehanna Brewing Company

Beer- Pumpkin Ale

Style- Pumpkin Ale

ABV- 4.80%


Description – Susquehanna Brewing Company’s Pumpkin Ale pours orange amber color with frothy off white head that dissipates quickly and leaves behind a very faint lacing on the glass.  The aroma is full of pumpkin spice goodness with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger backed by hints of sweet crystal malts. The taste follows the nose with pumpkin spice notes up front that give way to a smooth sweet malt taste and feel leaving behind hints of caramel and candied sugar.  This truly is a beer that can tout itself as pumpkin pie in a glass, but it is more on the light side of the mouthfeel which keeps it from being too overly sweet as some pumpkin ales can become. The moderate carbonation and light to medium mouthfeel give this beer a smooth easy drinking characteristic which makes for a pumpkin ale that can be enjoyed in large quantities.  SBC has certainly brewed a beer that has earned its place in your fridge this fall season.

Food Pairing – Pumpkin Ales are specifically a fall seasonal beer, especially those which include fresh pumpkins in the recipe. The fall season is the time when things start to cool off as we get ready for winter and as we do we celebrate both Halloween and Thanksgiving in between.  It is also a time when warm and hearty foods begin to make appearances on our plates and push aside the lighter summer fare. This makes pumpkin ales a great pairing for these foods. Try pairing this beer with a rich hearty beef stew, but not one that is overly spiced as the lighter qualities of this beer will get lost in the mix.  This pumpkin ale is also great to stock up on and save for Thanksgiving as a perfect match for turkey and cranberries can be found with this beer, you can of course have this pairing any time you want! The sessionable qualities of this beer also make it ideal with popular fall desserts such as cider donuts, pumpkin pies, apple crisps, campfire s’mores, or even a decadent piece of carrot cake. Whatever you choose this is a beer that will impart an extra layer of flavor to your dish and help make this fall even more special.

The Final Word – Susquehanna Brewing Company has quickly gained a loyal following since opening their doors in 2012 and with delicious and sessionable beers such as this it is easy to see why. While some pumpkin beers can become veritable spice bombs, SBC’s Pumpkin Ale is delicately spiced with just the right balance to impart great aroma and taste without any residual cloying flavors. The 4.8 percent ABV is also a welcome sight when many pumpkin ales tend to lean towards 9 percent ABV, thus making most of them a one and done type beer. Instead this pumpkin ale can be enjoyed long into the evening around a warm campfire to really help celebrate the impending fall season. If you are a fan of pumpkin ales this is a must try and with it being brewed right here in NEPA, it is not a beer that will require too much hunting to find.

Where can I get it? – Currently available in 12 oz. bottles at: Backyard Ale House- Scranton, PA; Wegman’s- Dickson City, PA and Wilkes Barre, PA; Cooper’s Seafood- Scranton, PA Krugel’s Georgetown Deli- Wilkes Barre, PA; and What’s Brewin’ 6-Pack Ale Shoppe- Old Forge, PA

Dear Stone, Thanks A Latte!

Brewer- Stone Brewing Company

Beer- Aleman / Two Brothers / Stone - Dayman Coffee IPA

Style- American IPA

ABV- 8.70%

Backstory- Stone has gained quite a reputation for collaboration beers, whether with fellow breweries or with homebrewers, Stone has been involved with some great collaboration beers and Dayman Coffee IPA is no different.  Here is the backstory on this collaboration according to Stone:

“Jim Moorehouse, Nate Albrecht and Brad Zeller, three pals planning to open a Chicago brewpub under the moniker of Aleman, won first place at last year's Iron Brew homebrewing competition in the Windy City (judged by none other than Greg Koch, Jason Ebel of Two Brothers Brewing, and celebrated Chicago brewer, designer and author Randy Mosher). Their style-bending IPA artfully married the assertive tropical bite of Citra hops with amazing coffee flavor and aromatics to create something truly unique and exceptional.”

Description- Dayman IPA pours clear amber, yes clear even with the coffee (!), and has a fluffy tan head that remains for some time and leaves an incredible thick lacing on your glass.  The aroma is breathtaking and exceptional.  The scent that hits the nose first is the wonderful aromatics of fresh coffee melded perfectly with citrus and tropical fruits from the hops, absolutely beautiful!  The taste, thankfully, follows the aroma perfectly.  The bitterness from the coffee and hops attack the palate, but the coffee also has a soothing effect on the palate, but still leaves a lingering bitterness.  There are also slight hints of toasted malts, but all combine for an incredibly smooth IPA that has a nice long and dry finish.  The coffee flavors linger on the palate longer while the hops drop off quicker.  The combination of coffee and the American IPA style may sound strange to some, but trust me this is nothing but delicious!

Food pairing – Food pairing for this beer is a true delight.  Trying to find dishes that can blend with both the coffee and hops makes one think more closely about what dish to combine with this beer.  As far as main courses, fatty meats are your best bet.  Think fatty pork barbeque or braised pork belly.  Another great dish is bacon wrapped meatloaf; I will follow this post up with a recipe for bacon wrapped meatloaf that you have to try!  Also, as you may have guessed, this beer would be great with desserts, especially those with a bitter chocolate base.  I would highly recommend either a nice tiramisu or dark-chocolate dipped strawberries; if you are local to NEPA I highly recommend getting some from Gertrude Hawk Chocolates.

Is it worth trying? – Holy hell YES!!!  This is by far one of the best IPA’s I have ever tried.  Although, it needs to be said that I drink A LOT of coffee, so I may be tipped more towards the coffee attributes.  This IPA is not only unique, but is absolutely delicious.  The only negative thing that I can say about it is that it is difficult to find, isn’t that typical with great beers?  Do yourself a favor though and call any place that you typically get craft beer and ask if they have it or if they can get it, but act fast as what is on the market is all that is out there right now!

Rating- 

Where can I get it? -  Currently available in bottles in the following states:  AZ, CA, CO, FL, IL, IN, MD, MA, MO, NC, NM, NJ, NY, OH, OR, PA, SC, TX, VA, VT, and WA

Remember, enjoy responsibly!

Sierra Nevada and Russin River Teaming Up Again!

This article was posted on Sierra Nevada's blog today, I personally have loved the collaborations they have done in the past and am looking forward to trying this one as well!

 

 

Brewing with Russian River

When Vinnie Cilurzo brings you growlers, you rejoice. Vinnie, co-owner and brewmaster of Russian River Brewing Company, visited us recently with a few hundred ounces of an experimental Beer Camp Across America brew in hand.
Vinnie’s a proactive fellow. After our teams talked about a recipe, we proposed a late-September brew date for the first batch. He had the itch, though: Vinnie jumped on his 20-gallon MoreBeer homebrewing kit and churned out round one. Along with that special liquid, he also brought several rock star folks from breweries abroad: Hedwig Neven, brewmaster of Duvel Moortgat, and Jean-Marie Rock, longtime brewmaster at the Orval Brewery. Jean-Marie is renowned for his handle on Brettanomyces, a wild yeast prone to funky, nuanced flavors and is embarking on a new adventure. Vinnie learned a thing or two from Jean-Marie and today receives plenty of acclaim for using “Brett” in his barrel-aged beers.





Gathered in our tasting room, Vinnie, Hedwig, Jean-Marie and our founder, Ken Grossman, all sampled Vinnie’s Beer Camp Across America handiwork. It doesn’t contain Brettanomyces, but Belgian yeast imparts its own unique characteristics. From the growler flowed a straw-colored blonde ale, its head modest but brilliance high.
“It’s going old school on the hops,” Vinnie said. “Brewers Gold for the bittering and Celia, a type of Styrian Golding hop, which I believe Hedwig here from Duvel uses a lot of.”
Celia hops also went toward dry hopping.
“It’s very dry,” Ken noted with a smile after his first sip. “I think it’s pretty well balanced…”
For round two we’ll scale the beer up to our 10-barrel pilot brewery here in Chico, California. How soon? Vinnie walked through our doors this morning.

All American Ales

In recent decades, America has gone from a sad beer landscape with only a handful of similar bland-tasting beers to a vibrant and thriving beer scene. The ingenuity and forward thinking of America’s brewers have created a beer scene that the rest of the world now looks upon not with disdain, but with envy.

In this current landscape, nothing truly says “America” more than an American craft beer, and you can also enjoy your apple pie and hot dogs with any number of these great beers! This year, while celebrating the Fourth of July at backyard barbeques, the pool, or amidst firework displays, enjoy some of these fantastic craft beers that are truly American through and through!

Anchor Brewing Company, Anchor Liberty Ale: This is a beer rich with history and also one that many argue changed the American beer landscape. Liberty Ale was first brewed in 1975 to celebrate the bicentennial of Paul Revere’s historic ride. As the first modern American IPA brewed after prohibition and the first modern American single-hop ale and dry-hopped ale, Anchor’s Liberty Ale is the original craft brewed ale and the historic beer that started a revolution. It is also a beer that has stood the test of time and is still just as enjoyable today!

Yards Brewing Co., Thomas Jefferson’s Tavern Ale: This is history in a glass and is based upon our founding father and avid homebrewer Thomas Jefferson’s original recipe! This strong golden ale tips the scales at 8 percent ABV as well. Not only is this beer highly drinkable, it also shows the foresight that Jefferson had even in good beer – truly a drink to toast to the past and future of America!

21st Amendment Brewery, Brew Free! Or Die IPA: The artwork alone for this beer will spark a patriotic movement within you; Abraham Lincoln is pictured breaking free from Mount Rushmore! However, the true movement is the delicious and balanced IPA within the can – yes, can – that will leave you inspired to enjoy another one. The fact that that this fantastic IPA comes in a can makes it seem even more American in spirit and should motivate you to bring a few along to any outdoor summer activities!

Avery Brewing Company, Ale to the Chief: This Imperial Pale Ale, or rather Presidential Pale Ale, as Avery calls it, is unique in that it is brewed every four years to commemorate the President’s inauguration. A beer that celebrates our democracy is certainly one worth drinking, and as with all of Avery’s beers, this is no exception – very balanced, but best enjoyed fresh. Thankfully, we don’t have too long to go until the next batch is brewed up!

Cigar City Brewing, Homefront IPA: Another wonderful and balanced beer from a fantastic brewery, or in this case, breweries. This is a collaboration beer between several breweries that is released every Memorial Day, with a large amount of proceeds going to charity. This beer is unique in that it was actually aged with wooden baseball bats – now that is American! Also, in 2014, a minimum of $150,000 from the sale of this beer will be donated to Operation Homefront, an organization providing emergency financial and other assistance to our service members and wounded warriors, making it even more American!

The craft beer movement occurring right now in America is something worth celebrating, and while enjoying craft beers is certainly an American way to celebrate, so is celebrating safely! So grab yourself some great American craft beer and toast to those who have made this country the wonderful place that it is today. Cheers!
