Dessert Day – Pie Fest (& Beer)

So, I am a pie guy. Cake is OK but pie is where it’s at. Of course I went to the KCRW Good Food Pie Fest, and part of the intrigue was the presence of…

…what beer would be on offer? Well, it was more an hard Agua Fresca….

…and light and even lighter lager. So here is my recommendation for pie and beer. Find a nice brown ale for general cream and custard pies. If you have cherry pie, a cherry sour would work great. Stay away from hoppy or too sugary pastry stout but a saison would do nicely with fruit pies.

Hops Tea

Hops aren’t just for beer. They can be used for other beverages. One of which is right here in Los Angeles. G&B Coffee in the Grand Central Market downtown sells a hop infused tea along with coffee in that bustling market.

It is on the Angel Flight side of the market and you can order up the tea which comes in a wine glass.  It is very light in both hop flavor and tea flavor as well. You have to search for the bitterness but it is quite refreshing.

You should check out the interview with the co-founder Charles Babinski on KCRW’s Good Food program that also talks about 2 other beer-y topics in that particular program.
