The Quest for the Perfect Pint. Monday, June 8, 2009. May took me to a few new places, mostly, the Seattle Beer Scene. Although I only tried a smattering from Elysian. And Pike Brewing Co. Both with some really exceptional stouts and solid IPAs. I did hit one of the most amazing beers store: Bottleworks. In addition, tried a smattering of Aaron's Homebrews. Lagunitas Brewery tour, Iron Springs tasting, and a tasting of some of Moylans Finest Eats and drinks were also in the books. Couldn't think of a...

The Quest for the Perfect Pint. Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Following the Irish Tradition, I had lots of new stouts and porters this month.

Belgain Quadrupel laid over cherries and barrel aged. 2 Year Old Bottle, signed by Fritz Himself. Schlafy's Bourbon Barrel Stout. Dogfish Head Chickory Stout. Stone Old Guardian Barleywine.

Ale Monthly: The classic "what beer are you" quiz, with a twist
http://alemonthly.blogspot.com/2009/04/classic-what-beer-are-you-quiz-with.html
The Quest for the Perfect Pint. Thursday, April 2, 2009. The classic "what beer are you" quiz, with a twist. Well, I was hesitant to do it, but the dismal quality of "What beer are you" quizzes out there left me . well, pissed. I had to at least attempt my own. Obviously focused on styles rather than beers themselves. You can find it here. Note: need to be a facebook user to use this quiz, as far as I can tell. Posted by Ryan Knock.

The Quest for the Perfect Pint. Tuesday, May 12, 2009. The Prescription May 2009: Bourbon and Porter and Chicken. This month, a recipe for a Bourbon Barrel Smoked Porter to go with some Bourbon Honey Chicken. This recipe is a little heavier than last month, but is a good summer recipe for the grill. An ode to the grillmaster in all of us, if chicken isn't your thing, this could easily work well with pork, steak or even veggies (hobo style in a large foil packet on the grill? 9 lbs American 2-row.

The Quest for the Perfect Pint. Wednesday, April 8, 2009. The Prescription: April 2009. I've decided to begin a month post focusing on beer and food recipes that pair together as a meal. Lets call it the Prescription. Off of the argula, walnuts and dijon. A good substitue for the beer would be a Saison (Dupont or Foret) , or possibly a more bitter Belgian Blond. Dijon Chicken Apple Salad. Serves One. Adjust accordingly for more. Nice Bed of Arugula (4 cups? 1 Red Anjou Pear. 1/4 Cup Chopped Walnuts.
