Text of the page (random words):
d pop culture haven t collaborated before ommegang has already done two brews for hbo s game of thrones the current take the black stout is a well crafted complex but accessible stout that would be worth a pour even if it was associated with h r pufnstuf and then there was that hanson brothers mmmhop ipa or was there did they ever get that off the ground or have they been too focused on training for an eventual invitation to appear on dancing with the one hit wonders maybe its just me but i think brewing with roasted goat brains makes about as much sense as yul brynner nailing a series of taylor swift hair flips and before you go there i d say the same thing if they were using candied goat brains i tried to fight the windmill but alas the battle is lost since it appears as though shock and grotesque gimmick brews are here to stay i figured i d toss out a couple of ideas extreme brewing fermenter staying with the anatomical theme how about a surgical waste saison fermented in used medical waste buckets no need to pitch any yeast plenty of naturally occurring wild yeast strains already partying in the goo looking for something a little darker to pair with a hearty burger of slab of bbq ribs can t beat this those aren t hop sacks yes its finally here diaper genie baby poo porter chocolate malt entirely optional given the robust deep dark hues imparted by the brewing process variants could be fermented with gerber peas chicken mush organic carrots you name it the baby food aisle s the limit unfortunately there may be no end to this madness fortunately however there s always bud light i d take one of those over brains in my beer any day cheers share this share on reddit opens in new window reddit share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new

anniversary brewer s plate event 2014 reflections of brewers plate so i m minding my own business two weeks ago something i do far more often than many are willing to believe when g lo lets me know that he s been invited to attend fair food philly s gala 10th anniversary brewer s plate event at the kimmel center he and limpd attended and raved about it the last two years but scheduling conflicts prevented either of them from taking advantage of this year s invitation that was about to become a problem for me because i was being asked to pinch hit for the booze dancers by attending as a vip to review the event honored and intrigued by the prospect i gladly accepted the invitation and the challenge you see the last event of this type i attended was the atlantic city craft beer festival some years ago with chef robert irvine of dinner restaurant impossible fame let s just say that spending a day with him sampling our way through various brewer s and restaurant s offerings was hysterical but not something i felt i needed to repeat and then there s that cheese thing g lo and virtually everyone who s spent more than a few minutes with me is well aware of my issues with cheese and with more than a handful of other supposedly edible foods believe me rain man and his eight fish sticks have nothing on me i wrote about my fatwa with all things cheese in full frontal fromage so there s no point in getting into it here other than to acknowledge that my pre event research revealed that brewer s plate would showcase many local artisinal cheeses never fear on occasion i m modestly capable of exercising sound judgment in the face of a clear and present gouda and this was one of those times i d enlisted the expert assistance of my lovely wife who surprisingly doesn t share my fear or opinions regarding cheese time to experience the brewer s plate in all of its glory beads of sweat began to form on my furrowed brow and i was starting to form complete thoughts in my mind that ended in prepositions a sure sign of an impending panic attack as i waited in line first in line actually to enter the kimmel center biej entertained the vips including epikur s writer of the year tara nurin with some well executed acoustic tunes to set the mood before the doors opened once inside it was wow at first sight the kimmel center is a stunning example of design and architecture a festival of mexican hairless dogs and their owners well some of them would look great in this space fortunately none of the attendees needed to negotiate any of those hideous canines because fair food philly had something else to showcase buy fresh buy local is one of the the themes of the brewer s plate and that theme was beautifully showcased throughout the evening in fair food philly s own words the brewer s plate is the great grand pappy of the beer and food pairing movement in philadelphia one of the first to introduce the region s blossoming throngs of foodies and beer geeks to the concept and like most things we continue to get better with age no other annual event maintains an unwavering commitment to buy fresh buy local while bringing together our region s outstanding chefs farmers food artisans brewers distillers and winemakers for the benefit of the most discerning critics bloggers and guests brewer s plate attendees enhance their knowledge of the local food scene by sampling attending breakout sessions and directly interacting with vendors and sponsors our 10th anniversary bp10 celebration will be the best yet jam packed with celebrity guests exclusive beers amazing pairings and much more located at one of the best venues in the city after three hours of sampling many of the offerings covering every inch of all three levels and chatting with like minded local craft beer geeks foodies bloggers and professional writers i have to say the fair food philly team nailed it philadelphia has a long and enviable craft beer and fine food culture and many of the brewers chefs chocolatiers and yes cheese maker purveyors who contribute to that reputation were on hand here s a list of this year s participants eats abbaye alla spina amada bar ferdinand barren

wide variety to chose from it was impossible to try and get to all of them but the well thought out layout made it easy to sample a representative cross section my wife was impressed with the overall quality of the food and was particularly impressed with the pommes puree by garces trading co i have to admit calling mashed potatoes something frenchly exotic makes a difference attempting to list and comment on everything we sampled would be a fool s errand so i ll simply note a few favorites white dog cafe s bbq pulled pork sliders were tangy sweet and tender and weckerly s toasted oat cinnamon ice cream float with dock street cinnister stout was a worthy adults only desert treat speaking of desert treats you can t beat capogiro for flat out world class gelato they whipped up several local craft beer flavored gelatos for brewer s plate i went with the weyerbacher heresy and quickly discovered that heretics can be splendid indeed we were however slightly puzzled at the number of items that required two hands to eat after all this is food and craft beer pairing event and pairing is best facilitated by having a bite ready in one hand with a sip ready to go in he other not really a major problem upstairs on the vip level where there was plenty of room and cocktail tables but managing without a third hand was a bit more challenging elsewhere as for the craft brews i was most impressed with forest main s alopex sour lemongrass saison brooklyn brewery s swedish strong ale boxcar brewing s 1492 american pale and sam adams rebel ipa through a simcoe packed randall victory brewing teamed up with sam adams for a subtly complex brewers plate stout that was a nice contrast to many of the more intense though delicious barrel aged ales performing elsewhere in the kimmel center both my wife and i gave the best surprise beer of the night award to sam adams for their spiced peach ale i was also pleasantly surprised by the asian pear wines being poured by subarashii kudamono about those cheeses they were abundant and the air was often redolent with their scent but that didn t seem to bother any of the throngs of people constantly awaiting their turn to graze the spread laid out by dibruno brothers again i don t get it what s wrong with a display of matzo balls that said my cheese sampling winglady enjoyed all but the victory storm king soaked cheddar pretty clearly a gross violation and waste of a fine imperial stout but that s just me unfortunately we missed one of the feature events best of the wurst sausage showdown but we didn t miss much else with such a large and diverse venue it was difficult to estimate the total attendance the main lobby and locavore lounge on the second level were crowded but not uncomfortably so from a third balcony view i could occasionally make out small mobs of meerkats nattily dressed hipsters bounding from brewer to chef to brewer but always in a well mannered way this wasn t one of those craft beer and food festivals that makes you feel like you ve been dropped into a real life giant pachinko game every element of the brewers plate was well conceived from the selection of the venue to the layout of the participants the hoppin john orchestra kept everyone pouring and sampling to a great groove and the mix of craft beer and foodie fans provided its own city suave energy craft beer gelato

craft beer fair food philly kimmel center philadelphia sam adams leave a comment december 4 2013 by the alemonger these are not your uncle s balls over the course of a day i have many opportunities to be wrong there are plenty of people from federal and state regulators to the occasional staff colleague hoping that i ll miss something or fail to catch an esoteric issue as they sharpen their career advancing daggers i guess that s a reasonably good description of stress halloween was a particularly fine example and not because i d be spending much of the early evening careening about the neighborhood in the company of hideous ghouls and pint sized taylor swifts it was my final day of preparation for a deposition as a witness the wrong side of the questioning in a case involving about a quarter billion dollars so you could say it was a bit more stressful a day than most that said we were having a few friends over for drinks pumpkin ales apps after trick or treating with our kids later on so i took a few minutes to type up a sign to go with the meatballs i concocted for the evening the description started with these are not your uncle s balls it devolved from there listing the odd culinary fusion confusion collision cuisine elements it contained from thailand korea vietnam and sweden for no good or apparent reason i sent the description to my enabler and wingman in all things culinary craft beer spirits and lunacy g lo of it s just the booze dancing and he responded with the following annoying line that s a blog post just say in i didn t have time to list all the reasons why it was certainly was not a blog post went back to preparing for the deposition and ignored him for the rest of the day while occasionally mentally circling back to why it wasn t a blog post until it was i did my part as the trick or treating craft beer evangelist by dragging around a rolling cooler full of wachusett pumpkin and tuckahoe holly beach pumpkin ales handing them out to worthy and thirsty halloween revelers after they presented legal proof of age of course can never be too sure when you might be handing an adult beverage to a freakishly large 14 year old in a skin tight dalmatian suit the meatballs went over well and the after party was success but there were no inspiring craft beers and definitely nothing to inspire a craft beer blog post fast forward to that
