Want Some Homebrew?
|
|
| This Thursday, I’ll be pouring homebrew at 18 Reasons for a Beer and Cheese tasting. It should be a good time - there will be great homebrew and cheeses from Bi-Rite. Rob of PFIFF! will be contributing as well, and if they’re anything like the homebrew of his I tasted this past weekend, Bi-Rite better be kicking [...] |

Beer Wars Movie
|
|
| I’ll be at the “Live” premiere this Thursday April 16th in San Francisco. Now the question is, what kind of beer should I sneak into the theatre? |

Cleaning Out Jay’s Fridge
|
|
| Aaaaaand we’re back.
Sorry things have been so quiet round these parts. Life has just been a little busy and a lot of crazy lately here at Beer & Nosh HQ, and the blog posting schedule has suffered for it. There are big changes coming down the pipeline for B&N - I can’t reveal the [...] |

Duck Pastrami Hash
|
|
| Some of my favorite meals are born out of leftovers. There is just something so wonderful about taking extra food from a previous meal, investing a little effort and coming out with something entirely new. This is especially true for brunch. Take for example, this dish:
Which was born from this dish:
After Elianna and I had [...] |

MSF Beer & Nosh Night
|
|
| One of my favorite things about Mission Street Food is the level of creativity it breeds. I’ll give you an example: while planning this meal I sent Anthony home with a collection of home brew ingredients, instructing him to play around with them, and find a bit of inspiration. One of the dishes he came back with [...] |

The Brewmaster’s Beard
|
|
| I’ve noticed a common thread amongst brewmasters - a deep and abiding love of facial hair. Although it’s not universal (there are some notable female brewmasters, and some very talented clean shaven male ones) it seems to be a common thread with malt and hop wranglers. The more time they spend bend over a mash tun, the more likely it is [...] |

Beer Carbonated Citrus
|
|
| All of the last minute pieces are coming together rather nicely for the Mission Street Food and Beer & Nosh collaboration. Anthony has the brisket dry-curing for the Messiah Bold braised brisket dish, all of the beer has been ordered, Jake at Humphry Slocombe is churning away his contribution to the night as well.
For my part, I’ll be prepping the beer carbonated citrus to [...] |

MSF on NPR
|
|
| I while ago, while taking pictures in the kitchen at MSF, I ran into a reporter from NPR. Her story finally aired on NPR. In the interview, he discusses one of my favorite dishes, the Butter fried cornbread with buttermilk panacotta.
Here’s in the intrepid reporter, invading the kitchen (that I was already crowding!) back in February. I’m surprised [...] |

We’ll be spending the evening with Mission Street Food, and serving up some stellar food and big flavorful beers. Anthony, Karen, Eli and I have worked to [...] |
