Carrots are often relegated to a side dish. Underappreciated no longer, this delicious dessert lets carrots shine as the main focus for a change; and it only gets better when topped with chopped nuts and drizzled with honey from the backyard bees, further emphasizing the carrots’ inherent sweetness. This natural sweetness provided by the carrots is balanced out with the crisp, hoppy bitterness offered by a strong pale ale or IPA, like this Zombie Dust.

Field Trip: Front Royal, Virginia.
With the vaccine & booster available, it seems a good time to safely (with facemasks and hand sanitizer at the ready) get out and support breweries & restaurants both near and far, ever in search of delicious beer and food pairings.
For this “filed trip”, had to stop Front Royal, Virginia to sample some great brews and food at Front Royal Brewing (now known as Vibrissa Beer)!
Root Vegetable Soup
Hot soup on a cold winter day is one of the most satisfying simple pleasure meals anyone can have; and home baked bread with an appropriate beer pairing made this meal even better!

Met up with some yinzers for this “Field Trip” to the Steel City; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Grabbed some great grub (and some of the giant sandwiches the city has become known for) and a few good pints at Fat Heads Saloon, and marveled at the unconventional location that The Church Brew Works has built inside of while sampling some beers made there.
