Sorry #Santa , but these #homemade #chocolate #wafer #cookies, are all for me!; #homebaked #chocolatewafers served with @fulltiltbrewing ‘s #bergercookiechocolatestout and #yoders#goldenguernsey #milk. This #stout #beer is brewed with real #bergers cookies and #fudge icing in every batch, making it sweet enough to match the sweetness of the #chocolatecookies and roasty enough to match the #chocolates flavor, just another reason to have #beerfordessert!
Followed the #snowprints while #hiking to find this little fella’ looking for a bite to eat.

Homebrew spiced sparkling cider and home baked seeded honey dinner rolls. This cider started out with home juiced Kauffmans apples, then was spiced with Korintje grade A cinnamon, organic star anise pods, whole allspice berries, and Madagascar cloves before being lightly back sweetened and then bottle conditioned for that sparkling effect. The yeast rolls were sweetened with Stockins Apiaries honey and seeded with flax and sesame seeds to give a modestly nutty and earthy balance to the slight sweetness from the honey.
