Mission Drift →
Bacon (and now, nut?) infused cocktails are just so trendy now. Or, any kind of meat infusion really. So I was wondering the other night…what would a meat beer be like? Has anyone ever tried to attempt to make such a thing? Would a chocolate bacon porter be the worst…or the best…thing in the world? A chorizo lager? A rosemary chicken pilsner?
Nuts would provide a much easier...

It beat’s the $h*t out of the whole pen pal routine,...

“I actually put ice in my beer.”
– That’s New York City mayor and apparent Communist Mike Bloomberg, proving he has absolutely no connection to regular human beings by telling reporters that he puts ice in his beer, which is only slightly less repugnant than putting ice in your milk. Someone please fly this man (at his own expense)...

10 Foods You Can Allegedly Make In A Coffee Maker →
Hmm…this might call for a live blog.

10. Beer
This sounds insane, but bear with us. Southern Fried Science has produced the definitive article on “how to brew beer in a coffee maker, using only materials commonly found on a modestly sized oceanographic research vessel.” They recommend using cereals for grains, vegemite for malt, and seaweed for hops. Amazing.

How to Romance with Beer →
I like so many things about this article, and can’t agree more that a chocolate stout is a perfect V day gift. I also love the idea of drinking a framboise lambic out of a flute.
Coincidentally, my husband proposed to me over Harpoon IPAs. We stole the glasses as memorabilia (sorry bar that will remain unnamed).
What beer related item are you hoping for this V day?

Agreed that Asian night markets are the best, and I would love to have one of these in Brooklyn. Here’s a way to make it happen, and to bring local beer, food, artists and musicians together all in one spot.
