Thursday, December 9th, 2010

If you’re always hanging out and drinking beer (or those fancy sodas) in the same place, it only makes sense to install a permanent bottle opener. Not only does the oh-so-important tool stay right where you need it, it looks really cool. Put the cap catcher right underneath and you’re all set! You won’t even have a mess to clean up in the morning (unless of course, you leave the pizza sitting out again.)

Wall Mount Bottle Opener and Cap Catcher Set

What You Get: A cast iron bottle opener, a stainless steep cap catcher and all of the mounting screws you need to attach them to your wall.

Who It’s Perfect For: Home bar owners, guys who hang out in the garage a lot, anyone with a man cave, cabin, cottage or beer drinking retreat, frat houses, bars.

The Deal: Ordinarily we sell these as separate items – $6.95 for the opener and $15.95 for the cap catcher. Today only, you can get ‘em both for the one low price of $14.95.

Drink Your Beer and Burn It Off

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

Happened upon this article from Wine Enthusiast Magazine, listing ways to burn off the calories from some some of your favorite, flavorful craft brews.

Not all beers are packed with an insane number of calories, of course, and you don’t even have to stick to the "light" varieties. Some of the styles you can count on to add less "love" to your waistline include the non-imperial versions of stouts, ambers, pilsners, pale ales and wheat brews.

Of course, we can’t always stick to the lowest calorie beers on the block. Wine Enthusiast offers a few suggestions to burn off the belly that might otherwise result from imbibing in some of our favorite brews.

Flying Dog Horn Dog
This Barleywine packs in 314 calories per serving, which is like chowing down a cup of pork lo mein (hmmm… I haven’t had Chinese in a while and it’s sounding pretty good right about now). The article recommends playing 75 minutes of mini golf to burn every one of those calories off.

Sierra Nevada Bigfoot
Here’s another Barleywine style that will add 330 calories to your daily count, which is like shoveling in a side-serving of Boston Market macaroni and cheese. Wine Enthusiast suggests just over an hour of shoveling snow to rid yourself of those newly acquired calories, if you’re so inclined.

Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA
This super-strong India Pale Ale weighs in at an incredible 450 calories, which is like binging on a tasty smoked sausage. You’ll have to sweat quite a bit to burn these buggers off. The article recommends an hour of kickboxing for a full body workout that will do the trick.

Hot Chai Cocktail for Blustery, Cold Nights

Monday, December 6th, 2010

Hot Chai CocktailBack in my college days (any Canisius alumni out there?), I was a barista and shift manager at SPoT Coffee in Buffalo, NY. I got to experiment with a lot of interesting flavors and invent delicious coffee and tea concoctions every day as specials. One of my favorite base ingredients to play with was chai (I positively love chai).

Unfortunately, we didn’t (still don’t) have a liquor license so none of these beverages were spirited, but I still have a lot of my old recipes floating around in my head. Here’s one to try, converted to an "adult" beverage, just for you. Perfect for cold nights by the fire, this chai cocktail will warm you from the inside out.

Hot Chai Cocktail

2 oz Baileys Caramel Cream
½ oz vanilla vodka
4 oz black chai tea
3 – 4 dashes Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters
Dash simple syrup, to taste

Grab your favorite mug and pour in the Baileys Caramel Cream and vanilla vodka. Fill your mug the rest of the way with fresh-brewed, hot chai tea. Added 3 to 4 dashes of Aztec Chocolate Bitters and simple syrup, to taste. Give it a quick stir and enjoy.

For the record, I do NOT miss answering phones, "SPoT Coffee, spot on, this is Hannah. How can I help you?" [gag] I am, however, glad for all of the recipe experimentation I got to do through the years.

Cheers!
