Product line extension: dinner rolls

Posted at 6:10 pm by Patrick under General Ramblings, Home Brewing

It’s getting close to dinnertime, and Phil was in charge of making dinner rolls for the meal. His recipe called for, among other things, a 12 ounce beer.

I couldn’t let him use a regular domestic lager. So I poured some “Another Tire” into the batter, and Phil got it ready for the oven.

They’re in the oven now, becoming golden, brown and delicious.

Finally, some appropriate glassware!

I’m at my father-in-law’s casa for the Jones family holiday celebration, and look what I found in the cupboard.

Straight out of 1983 — a Handy Smurf drinking glass.

While it’s probably not the correct shape for most purist beer drinkers, I think it works just fine for the Shlalfy Coffee Stout (St. Louis) I’m enjoying.

The locally-made coffee that flavors the beer is extracted using a cold-press method, which pulls a lot of flavor out of the beans without all of the bitterness. It adds a deep coffee flavor that finishes with a little bit of astringency. In all, pretty tasty, even when warm.
