Ocean City Brewing Company Nuckin Futz with Baked Brie covered with maple syrup and candied walnuts
This is a continuation of a blog about the Shore Craft Beer Talk and Tasting held at the Clarion Fountainebleu in early 2016. Yes, it is a mouthful, but more than that there’s a behind the scenes story. Because of the wonderfullest mixup of the day there were too many candies walnuts. That meant I […]
Dominion Morning Glory Espresso Stout with Stilton
This is a continuation of a blog about the Shore Craft Beer Talk and Tasting held at the Clarion Fountainebleu in early 2016. I love Morning Glory Espresso Stour because the coffee beans and hops work as a team for a mellow bitterness that is even further tempered by the malt. That’s what gives it a […]
Fin City Capitano’s Winter Stout with Smoked Cheddar
This is a continuation of a blog about the Shore Craft Beer Talk and Tasting held at the Clarion Fountainebleu in early 2016. First (and this may or may not be news to you) most people can’t get Capitano’s Winter Stout. OK If you count Asia most people can’t get craft beer, but I’m making […]
Mispillion Space Otter with Red Dragon cheese
This is a continuation of a blog about the Shore Craft Beer Talk and Tasting held at the Clarion Fountainebleu in early 2016. Red Dragon cheese? Is that really a thing? Yes, and it is an awesome thing. Just as with the Maytag Cheese this selection was off my radar and, as many other people said, […]
Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale with Smoked Gouda
This is a continuation of a blog about the Shore Craft Beer Talk and Tasting held at the Clarion Fountainebleu in early 2016. I was really excited to see this pairing on the list because the Indian Brown is one of my favorites. Not only is it a really accessible beer, it is one of […]
Assawoman Angry Clown Brown Ale with Maytag Blue Cheese
This is a continuation of a blog about the Shore Craft Beer Talk and Tasting held at the Clarion Fountainebleu in early 2016. The difficulty here is both to not oversell the cheese and not undersell the beer. Maytag Blue Cheese is better described on this link, but I’ll say it has almost the consistency of […]
Tall Tales Paul Bunyan Strong Ale with Roquefort
This is a continuation of a blog about the Shore Craft Beer Talk and Tasting held at the Clarion Fountainebleu in early 2016. Eric Camper, the head brewer at Tall Tales, has been hard at work re-imagining the Paul Bunyan Strong Ale for wider distribution and hit upon the right combination between the beer and […]
Evo Crystal Row American Strong Ale with Gouda
This is a continuation of a blog about the Shore Craft Beer Talk and Tasting held at the Clarion Fountainebleu in early 2016. I so was looking forward to trying Crystal Row, which I head Evo has been tinkering with since they were in Delmar (which is where I live, but I’m still a good […]
3rd Wave Sandstorm Belgian Tripel with Apricot Stilton
This is a continuation of a blog about the Shore Craft Beer Talk and Tasting held at the Clarion Fountainebleu in early 2016. When Belgian Tripels are done well you can’t really taste the alcohol, even when the beer is in the 9 percent range, as Sandstorm is. Broadly speaking tastings are fun when they […]
