Peach Porch Lounger

- Lips of Faith

STORY

Beers and front porch lounging with G. Love means peaches, hominy grits, molasses and lemon peel, all funked up with pale and biscuit malts in a saison for sipping. In three-part harmony enters a healthy dose of Brettanomyces to bring tropical, citrus flavors and bold, sweet nose. This foot-stomping beer pours a glowing orange under a fluffy, white head and grooves all the way to its dry finish. G. Love and New Belgium together, making sweet beer and music.

Nana Alden’s Molasses Cookies Joel Winn - New Belgium Missouri Beer Ranger print recipe Nana Alden’s Molasses Cookies As a child summer seemed to last forever. Until it didn’t and it was time to go back to school. One of the ways my mother would soften the blow of the end of summer was by making our Nana Alden’s Molasses Cookies and having them waiting for us warm out of the oven when we’d get home from school. The rich, dark molasses combined with a myriad of spice in a soft, delicious, comforting cookie just seemed to make sense during those Indian summer afternoons. Thirty years later summer doesn’t even pretend to last forever, but Nana Alden’s Molasses Cookies paired with our Peach Porch Lounger can certainly slow down time enough to give those Indian summer afternoons a whole new meaning. The ginger, cinnamon, and cloves of the cookies make beautiful music with the peaches and lemon peel in the Peach Porch Lounger. And the molasses in the cookies bring the rich molasses flavor hiding behind the fruit, spice, and brett funk of the beer, straight to the front row. This pairing is enjoyed best on a warm, late autumn afternoon preferably on a front porch. Cheers! Recipe for Nana Alden’s Molasses Cookies: ½ cup molasses ¾ cup of Crisco ½ cup sugar Mix the following in ½ cup of boiling water: 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. Ginger, 1 tsp.
