Lion's Ale - "We brew this smooth English-style amber ale with our good friends at The Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge, MA. This beer has been crafted to pair greatly with most every meal and works well during any season, it is most often enjoyed at the historic inn with food and friends. " 5.3% ABV

i made this w samuel adams boston lager and it was pretty damn good. perfect for a fall sunday, toast some sliced french bread for dipping, i also added some broccoli and sliced hot links. it took about 90 minutes from start to finish, well worth it.

Beer-and-Cheddar Soup Recipe - Jonathon Erdeljac | Food & Wine (http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/beer-and-cheddar-soup)

Had my first bottle of allagash's farm to face this weekend. Good but for $15 for a 12.6 oz bottle is way too much. Surprised it is classified as a "pale ale". Tasted like a sour/saison. Wish this beer was cheaper bc I would like to drink more of it but there are comparables for less money sitting on the shelves.

Manor Hill - finally found a fresh six pack of their standard IPA. This beer used to always be on the shelf and always fresh but now I just dont see it around anymore. Bummed bc this last 6 pack I got had a huge trub problem. I poured my first can and it came out real cloudy so I poured it out and grabbed another can. This time I poured to see what was going on and the first 90% of the beer looks normal but the last 10% is thick cloudy gray trub. I poured the trub into another pint glass and it was easily more than 2 fingers tall. (I didnt know what "trub" was until I googled why my beer came out cloudy)

Don't know why but Sam Adams just crushes it when you need to use a beer in a recipe. Our go-to as well when a recipe calls for a lager.

the first time i made it, i used pacifico and it was also fire.

I tend to use Yuengling in as my beer in recipes, especially chili. I've used it in pulled pork too.

@OTM - Thanks for the #FF on Tuesday with Rodman's Twitter feed. I haven't had any Manor HIll IPA lately, but trying to get my hands on the Hidden Hopyard 2/Taylor's Row IPA. I've been lazy in my beer gettings lately.

A buddy of mine just did a Boston/Monson run, so I got some new (to me) Trillium beers and RAR Walk of Shame from last month's release. And another buddy got back from Austin and brought back some Austin Beerworks (head brewer is a guy I knew growing up) and St. Arnold.

Speaking of RAR, they are doing a can release this Saturday at 5pm. Four beers, including their crushable blond ale Marylan, their juice bomb IPA Pulp, and two new beers (Lecter's Nectar IPA and Country Road Pale Ale). If you've never been to a can release at RAR it's a fun time. Usually a bottle share in line and fun, friendly people.
