OK, when I said I’d take a break from west-coast beers, I kinda lied. Still, at least on the next show I’m spreading the love a little. The beers are:
Shipyard IPA [alternatives: Samuel Smith's India Ale, Fuller's India Pale Ale, Summit India Pale Ale]
and
Lagunitas IPA [alternatives: Stone IPA, AleSmith IPA, Bell's Two Hearted Ale]
The theme is probably apparent, but hey, it’s a good one!
Loved the chew your beer segment. I’m doing brats this weekend for the big local college football rivalry, so will be using the brats recipe.
Mike needs to write a cookbook about cooking with beer! The concept of applying the classical French technique of wine reduction to beer is simply brilliant.
