You like food right? And how about beer?
Fri, 08/27/2010 - 11:21am — mbussmannI was strolling around Whole Food's this morning doing a little gathering (in the modern hunter/gatherer kind of way) and finding some cheese to present at a good friend's wedding this weekend (in lieu of a gift the soon to be nuptialed couple has asked us all to bring a specific food item, I got the cheese plate (and it is going to be the best cheese plate in the whole world, cows, goats and sheep will all be accounted for, not to mention the crackers)). And as the rest of my grocery getting was happening I decided to peruse the meat case. As you may know Whole FRead more
A fine day for beer pairings and story swapping.
Tue, 08/17/2010 - 9:48am — mbussmannWell it's Tuesday, I was up early and ready to complete all tasks at hand. And the task staring me right in the face now is this post, and for this post I wanted to offer a few things to you. First, another great beer and food pairing: green chili beef tacos with Hoptober. I spent the majority of yesterday afternoon stewing up some flank steak in onions, garlic, and a little broth (water at first, then eventually I could call it broth). It slowly cooked, tenderizing and readying itself for the shredding. On Read more
FRIDAY!
Fri, 07/30/2010 - 10:34am — mbussmannSo I'm back from my weekend in the middle west and I have stories to tell. It was a wonderful couple of days full of family time and friendly activities. It started with Sunday at the pool. All my brothers and their families were present and we swam and jumped off a nice diving board. I tried to do a flip and didn't make it (it would have been the first successful Juicebox flip). In the process my sun-shades went flying off my face and sank to the bottom of the deep end. This deep end was over 11 feet. In the act of swimming to the bottom Read more
The holiday weekend.
Thu, 07/08/2010 - 8:25am — mbussmannWell I hope that everyone had a great (and safe) holiday weekend. But now it's over and we can assess the damage. Here in the Fort some friends and I hatched big plans to ride bikes up to Vedauwoo, Wyoming, camp the night away and ride back on Monday. Well it didn't really go down like that. We met at Fort Collin's newest (and super delicious) breakfast joint, Snooze at 7:30am the morning of the forth.Read more
Belgo IPA, it is good.
Fri, 07/02/2010 - 11:59am — mbussmannSo we have a new entry in the world of Lips of Faith and it is Belgo IPA. This beer is a five hop IPA with Amarillo, Chinook, Cascade, Willamette and Simcoe. These wonderful little plants (and malts, and water and stuff) are then paired with a Belgian yeast for a match made in heaven. This is a mix made to party (as you can tell from the disco ball on the label):
(see, it likes to party, it's dancing right now)Read more
Are you ready for this? Another awesome food pairing!
Tue, 06/29/2010 - 8:06am — mbussmannThis last Sunday the wife and I went for a lovely car camping expedition. And with all that accompanies the wonderful world of car camping; extra chairs, firewood, the dog, pillows, a cooler, one gets take liberties in cooking extravagant, delicious meals. We packed our cooler full of the sundries that would be come dinner and breakfast and we headed north (and a little west) to Vedauwoo, Wyoming. Vedauwoo is an awesome place (you should go there), full of crazy rock features and lovely trails. We planned on getting there, setting up camp, taking a nice hike, then seRead more
Let's go to the micro-lab!
Tue, 06/22/2010 - 11:47am — mbussmannSo here it is my friends, the long awaited trip deep into the inner sanctum of New Belgium Micro-Biology Lab (not sure if I should capitalize micro and biology (or lab), but I did (it seems important)).Read more
First Kriek and now Biere de Mars?
Fri, 06/18/2010 - 10:31am — mbussmannThat's right folks, after last weekend's tearful goodbye to Transatlantique Kriek I now have more sad news; we are on our last few cases of Biere de Mars. The photo below represents the last of our, the Liquid Center's, stock of this classic:
Dunk tanks, water slides, and further weekend shenanigans.
Tue, 06/15/2010 - 10:39am — mbussmannWell it's Tuesday, which marks the beginning of my work week. I am ready my friends, I feel refreshed, recharged, and full of hope for the coming days. And why do I feel so good? The weekend past was full of so much happiness that I almost passed out. Let's go over it.Read more
Matty Smooth loves Jambalaya and Trippel.
Fri, 06/11/2010 - 11:53am — mbussmannHere is food pairing number 2 from our very own Matty Smooth, take a gander:
Some of my first experiences with cooking and beer came when I was a kid. My dad loved to celebrate his birthday at Sapphire Point. It was a winter wonderland every March with an incredible view of Lake Dillon and the mountains.
