As a follow up to last week’s beer-candied orange peel recipe, I wanted to give you guys another chance to cook with the Southern Tier Choklat Oranj. While the candy is delicious on its own, I wanted to use it to enhance another recipe: orange fudge. I’ve been wanting to make a fudge recipe that uses beer as an…
As a maker of yummy edibles, my recipes often come from an inspiration ingredient. This week, that was so. While perusing my local bottle shop, I happened upon a bottle of Southern Tier’s newest offering, Choklat Orange. It’s a new version of their chocolate stout (Choklat). Mind you, I already know I love using Choklat as…
I completely wanted to make this as a joke. I love pumpkin spice, but it’s becoming so popular that the act of hating it is becoming even more popular. But… hot damn. Pumpkin spice candied bacon is autumn heaven in pork form. I used Southern Tier Warlock (a pumpkin imperial stout that has a great balance of…
Beer!? For Breakfast!? I don’t know about you guys, but when I’m enjoying a nice little dessert from my childhood, the one thing that comes to mind is: “man, this could use some beer and bacon.” Am I alone here? I didn’t think so. Let’s take our childhood favorite add just that. Bacon, candied in…
Editor’s Note: This recipe ran on June 25, 2014 on DrinkingCraft.com. When you’re looking for comfort food, you don’t usually need to look much further than a helping of Welsh Rarebit.

But the truth of the matter is, that’s not always what it’s about. Sometimes my readers want a simple delicious recipe that they’ll actually make because it doesn’t…
I don’t think it’s any secret that I’m partial to Great Lakes Brewing Company. Not just because it’s in Cleveland (though that doesn’t hurt) but because it’s awesome. I’m big into porters and stouts and I can’t say enough about the Edmund Fitzgerald Porter and the Blackout Stout. So this week on DrinkingCraft.com, I whip…
It’s tradition in my household that every September 14th, there is an ice cream cake. It’s my husband’s birthday and from the time we started dating, I knew that it was something his mom had done for him. So from the first year I spent his birthday with him, I’d made sure he had an…
Hey you. You going to some barbecues this season? You want to impress the shit out of people with the dish you bring? Thank god. I’d hate to think slackers read my blog. Make this! It is what it says. AMAZE BALLS with an anything-but-delicate AWESOME SAUCE. It’s basically a savory monkey bread. Caramelized onions…
