Harviestoun Ola Dubh Easter Eggs

Harviestoun Brewery celebrate their 30th anniversary this year. I'm a bit of a fan of their beers; their Ola Dubh beer was my first ever Monster Beer post, and my first all grain homebrew was an attempted clone of their Bitter & Twisted. With Easter just around the corner, they've decided to do something a bit different. ...

Beer Pancakes

As I'm sure you must be aware, today is Pancake Day, a feast day with a long history which these days is just an excuse for the supermarkets to sell you cheap frying pans and lemons. I've always loved pancakes, and this year I decided to see how they turned out when made with ...

Whisky Mac Ice Cream

This month's BSFIC Challenge over on Kavey Eats is a very seasonal Booze theme. This plays right into my area of expertise! Following on from my exploration of the perfect Whisky Mac earlier this year, I decided that an ice creamed version would be the perfect winter warmer. It's a 'proper' ice cream, being ...

Tequila Ice Cream

This month's BSFIC Challenge over on Kavey Eats is to produce a savoury ice cream – this is my attempt to find something boozily appropriate! The trouble with most alcohol is that it's on the sweet side, but happily as I was staring at my somewhat overstuffed booze cupboard I caught sight of ...

Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf with a Stout & Honey Glaze

A recipe guest post from my wife Kavey, who blogs at Kavey Eats. We eat first with our eyes, so it's no surprise that I've pinned more food images to my Pinterest boards than any others. One of the recipes that caught my eye was this Guinness & Cheddar Meatloaf from The Galley Gourmet blog. ...

Zebedee Beer Slushy

Having been a co-conspirator in a previous month with our Beer & Nuts Ice Cream, this month I decided to make my very own entry for Kavey's Bloggers Scream For Ice Cream. April's theme is Sorbets, Granitas, Shaved Ice Desserts, Slushies and Spoom! Obviously it had to be something beer-related, because as I've said before ...

Stout & Salty Roasted Peanuts Ice Cream - AKA Beer & Nuts Ice Cream

A guest post from my wife Kavey, author of Kavey Eats. As a novice ice cream maker, it's probably not that wise to start inventing completely new ice creams. But having launched a new ice cream challenge on my blog and set the theme for the first month to custard-based ice creams, I really wanted to do ...

Cooking With Drink: Beer & Sausage Stew

This is a drink blog, not a food blog. I'll leave the proper foodie writing to my beloved wife. However, I do sometimes cook things that are at least as much about the booze as the food, and I thought I'd share them here. This is what I have imaginatively called my Beer & ...
