Beer | Santa Fe Brewing Company Imperial Java Stout

Our own experiments brewing beer with coffee have not been the most favorable. We are pretty sure the trick is adding some coffee grounds to the wort as it is cooling, so that it doesn’t steep in boiling water and…

Reasons I’m Not Vegetarian #3: Bone Marrow with Parsley, Capers, Lemon and Radish at The Cannibal

reasons-im-not-a-vegetarian-the-cannibal-7

Guest writer Jodie Chan is quite possibly the most hardline carnivore we have met. For her third report, she took one of Selectism’s managing editors, Jeff Carvalho, to a beer and butcher shop in Midtown East that is aptly named…

Beer | Twisted Pine Big Easy Offbeat Brown

Twisted Pine is a brewery with some funk in their trunk … or tank, as it were. Along with a recently released Carrot IPA, they bring us this brown ale enriched with the likes of wasabi, ginger and horseradish. The…

Beer | Maui Brewing Co. Big Swell IPA

Trying to avoid hanging a lei joke on this IPA from Maui Brewing Co., as the blast of multiple hops tastes quite a bit like a mouth full of flowers. This is not so much a perfumed flavor as it…

Beer | Stone Imperial Russian Stout

Chocolate, coffee and whiskey—quite the taste triptych from Stone in this Imperial Russian Stout. We don’t often find ourselves craving a stout, as they tend to be a bit too smooth and milky, but this big bolshevik upended that attitude.…
