What in the world?, I thought. It’s … [Read more...]
5 Rockin’ Restaurant Dishes + 5 Bodacious Brews
Over the past few years, I’ve been noticing that beer pairing dinners in breweries and restaurants have replaced some of the ubiquitous wine dinners that previously ruled the roost. And, why not?

Home Brewers Flavor Beer with Locally Grown Hops Varieties
This past summer, my husband and I planted hops for the first time in a sunny corner of our yard in Sugarhouse. After years of buying shrink-wrapped packages of the papery cones for his homebrews, we decided it was time to give it a try ourselves. After some initial research on Google, we found that Cascade hops tend to grow well in Utah’s climate and are a prominent … [Read more...]
