Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
I am on Team Pie when it comes to dessert which means when Benny Boy Brewing and Cider announced Pies for Pride was happening on June 9, I was in. From 2-5pm Regarding Her Food will have a competition celebrating LGBTQ+ chefs and their best sweet and savory pies.
This will be a ticketed event so make sure to grab your pie pass.
If you were a fan of Season 1 of BrewDogs then you will be quite happy with the first episode of season 2. You have a great brewery to get to know in Fullsteam. With their motto of Plow to Pint. You have a great location craft beer in North Carolina (curiously not Asheville though). And a beer that will require working out after drinking it.
But for me, that pales in comparison to the two reasons why I enjoyed the Yahoo Sneak Peek. Bacon and Pie. Of all the segments of the show, I love the food pairing the most. And right off the bat, they mix beer with my favorite dessert, pie. Toss in that the baker at Scratch Bakery,Phoebe Lawless, is not a beer geek and the task for Martin and James becomes a challenge. And they relish a challenge. The pies looked awesome. More so than the beers. It made me wish that I was in the bakery when they were filming.
Second was the bacon. Beer brined bacon! That was then added to the beer! Fat and all. And from a local artisan no less. Again, I was suddenly hungry for bacon. The theme of the beer was most caloric hence the bacon and the maple syrup. A true breakfast beer.
Though I am amped for the LA episode. This was a rollicking good start.
