We try out a deep dish pizza using the cast iron dutch oven. We got two parts to this: the crust & toppings to prepare. I tried to get everything done in the dutch oven, but you’ll need a few bowls. The dough is pretty simple and can be made after you’ve lit the coals.

What better way to get some outdoor cast iron dutch oven cooking is after a snow storm. After my shoveling was done, I headed out back and got the firepit going. I was going to make a Balsamic Braised Chicken dish. But stumbled onto this variation which included not only Balsamic, but red wine & […]

Here’s a great base chili that you can augment to your taste/heat. We were camping in Maine and decided that this would provide a great meal. This will feed up to 6 people and cost a little over 20$ to gather all of the groceries.

We reviewed Allagash White while out on a camping trip in Maine. This being one of the standard offerings, meaning that you can find this within the state fairly easy at a store or restaurant. The style is a Witbier, or Belgian Wheat beer. 5% ABV.

Trying out this 1st beer above 6.5% ABV in Prince Edward Island. PEI had this crazy rule that local breweries and distilleries could not make high alcohol beverages, but yet restaurants could IMPORT AS THEY PLEASED. So local PEI BREWING COMPANY released this Double IPA. 8.5% ABV before Christmas 2014 and is only available on the island […]

We try out the second of the initial release beers from Brasseurs du Petit Sault from Edmundston, New Brunswick – Bob LeBoeuf. This is a 5.2% ABV Belgian Blonde Ale. Hoping to get some earthy notes, a little sweetness etc..

Drinking bottle 3101 out of 4000 of this dark amber ale brewed using the old method of putting hot stones into the wort! Coming in at 6.5% ABV, this 750ml bottle is in limited supply in Nova Scotia & New Brunswick with a price tag of 14$. Dark Amber Ale.

I am trying out the first beer launched by Brasseurs du Petit-Sault, from my hometown area. This was launched during the spring of 2014, just in time for the Congrès mondiale acadien 2014. This is a Belgian White beer, so I was expecting something like Blanche de Chambly, Allagash White; something like that since they […]

Got my hands on the latest seasonal from Garrison with special collaboration with Beaus Natural from Ontario. Beaus came to this year’s Halifax Beer on the Pier and mixed up their Bog Myrtle with the complex brew that Garrison was preparing.
