food.pairing: White Ale

General description and suggestion:  Witbiers are one of the oldest beer styles in Europe, nearly 500 years old.  This style would have became another casualty of the lite pale lager invasion if not for the efforts of Pierre Celis who brought the beer style back from the brink with the popular Hoegaarden.  Since then witbiers [&hellip[ READ MORE ]

Beer: Bonfire Rauchbier (5.7%) Brewery: Samuel Adams (Boston Beer Company) Style: Rauchbier Serving: Pilsner or Stange glass @ 45°-50° General description and suggestion: The most identifiable characteristic of rauchbiers besides its crystal clear copper color and thick creamy head is its smoky aroma and flavor.  The smoky aroma and flavor comes from wood kilned malt.

food.pairing: Horny Devil

General description and suggestion: Belgian ales are some of the most exciting and challenging beers to pair with food.

  Beer:  G’Knignt Brewery:  Oskar Blues Style:  Imperial Red(8.5%ABV) Serving:  Pint glass or Snifter (my suggestion) @ 40-45 degrees General description and suggestion:  This beer has substantial malt sweetness; you will probably taste a slight caramel character that comes from the type of grain used in brewing the beer. No caramel was added. Before the beer can become too [&hellip[ READ MORE ]

food.pairing: Union Jack

General description and suggestion: Pair  an American IPA with a spicy corn salsa.  American IPA’s  have a more pronounced bitterness, citrus hop aroma and higher alcohol than their English IPA cousins. That means this is a great beer for hop heads and spice (as in hot) heads.  The hops and the carbonation can intensify the [&hellip[ READ MORE ]

This is the first official shelf talker of many to come. Recently I have started collaborating with a local beer market called the Village Commons Market and in the back corner is a a little slice of beervana called  the Beer Cave.  Together, we (Ken, manager of the Market and I) have developed a scaled [&hellip[ READ MORE ]
