Back to the Kitchen
The quickly dropping temperatures of fall and rainy weather in New York is my signal that outdoor beer drinking is quickly coming to an end. It’s time to return to the soups, stews, and kitchen drinking - which is fine with me. To start my seasonal departure away from the beer cocktails and transition to cooking with beer, I thought I would share this amazing recipe for short rips with beer and buckwheat honey from food52.
For an end of summer beer cocktail. Mmmmmm
Raspberry Beer Cocktail
3/4 cup frozen raspberries
3 1/2 bottles beer, chilled
1 container raspberry lemonade concentrate, thawed
1/2 cup vodka
lemon and lime slices for garnish
Combine all ingredients in a pitcher with ice, and serve.

Yes, I made this. Its called a Michelada. Its a relatively nice beer cocktail.
Michata? Is that what this drink is called? IDK. My BLager friend made it for me while she visited. It’s like Natty Bo (Baltimore’s finest beer) lime juice, sriracha, in an Old Bay rimmed glass. It was a nice way to mix up a relatively bland beerdrink. Try it!

To toast the 100th birthday of its landmark Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, the Library has partnered with Coney Island Brewing Company in Brooklyn to create George Washington’s personal, handwritten beer recipe (a porter), which is located in our Manuscripts and…
Yeah…except that Yards Brewery in Philadelphia has been making a beer from his recipe for years. (It’s quite tasty). http://www.yardsbrewing.com/ales_general-washingtons-tavern-porter.asp
That’s awesome, thanks for the info/update! +1 for Philadelphia, who knew.

The Birth of the Meat Cake: Your One Way Ticket To Flavor Country
The inspiration for this latest food-child comes courtesy of an earlier post, dedicated to beer bread grilled cheese. Thus, it had to be done… we whipped out our best recession style cookware (note tiny-mini iron skillet) and our portable panini presses to play with, to accompany our strategies for next week’s Guactacular (you can meet us in real life there, but please don’t be creepy about it. Oh yeah, and don’t bother talking to us if you don’t plan on voting for us).
Sooo…we installed my last bottle of homebrew for this puppy, and I will say the bread came out a bit doughy. Hence the picture of it falling apart after I cut it…but I just slapped around those slices like a tortilla and threw them in that panini press and it all worked out just the same. I will say, I don’t think the end result would have been as successful without the porto-press.The addition of honey to the batter was a grand success. Yes, I used the word grand in the non-French sense. We also added some caramelized shallots and paprika-ed bacon. Then we ate it.
The end result was a pleasant sweet and savory treat. A word of warning, also extremely intense. One bite will probably change your heart rate and send you into a food frenzied panic. Proceed with caution.
