If You Want to Brave the Waters…

Night Flights is holding a “Flying Dog” night tonight complete with beer specials and the possibility of beer gear (tshirts, glasses, etc).

So, if you’re feeling like a stir-crazy hound, head on over for some frosty ones.

Brewery News RSS

Posted By Brewmaster on June 17, 2009

I have an idea to put together a RSS page of feeds or posts on microbrew news (New link to the left called Brewery News RSS) from all over but would like to gather a lot of local news so the community can stay informed when we might have a lack of posts.  I can’t seem to find any local brewery feeds but found a Northeastern PA Microbrewery site which has constant updates on Troegs, Victory, and Dogfishhead since they are closer to the action.

If anyone has any RSS feeds that they might read regularly or know of any local ones that might be of interest to our readers, please let me know and I will be sure to add it!

Beer Slushie

Posted By Kate on June 16, 2009

This one reminds us of the college days, but it’s a great one to resurrect in the Summertime!

Although there are MANY variations to this, Chef William just whipped this one up on WSEE this morning:

         1 Pint Beer (Hefeweizen recommended)
         2 Pints Ice
         4 oz Vodka
         6 oz Liquid Lemonade Concentrate

         Blend all in food processor or blender and enjoy!

Beer and Food Pairing

Posted By Kate on June 12, 2009

10462Saturday, June 13 – 11am to 3pm

What’s a better way to kick off your summer than with a FREE beer and food pairing event at Wegmans?  Stop by any of the Pennsylvania Wegmans stores (Allentown, Bethlehem, Downingtown, Erie, Erie West, Harrisburg, Nazareth, Scranton, State College, Warrington, Wilkes-Barre, and Williamsport) to “taste great beers and easy entertaining foods that complement them.  You’ll also be able to talk to regional brewery reps and [Wegmans] culinary experts!”

The Peach Street Wegmans is rumored to be sampling Victory, Presque Isle Pilsner, Stoudts, and they will have Lindemans Lambic with lemon sorbet and fruits to to enhance the dessert experience.

So start your summer off in the right direction; go to Wegmans and learn about what beers you should pair with what foods so you can be the life of any party!
