If youre looking for gourmet food paired with craft beer, look no further than Kalamazoos Beer Week. Seven days of beer themed events can be found throughout the city at many local hot spots, including the Centre Street Tap House. Now serving beer before noon, the Tap House has big plans for this years Kalamazoo Beer Week. Sunday, theyserved an inaugural brunch paired with beer, dubbing their Sunday brunch, Beer-unch. Guest we spoke with said the new menu items paired with cider beer from Virtue gave them a new dining experience. Its something different for breakfast, I mean it sure beats doing just the normal scrambled eggs and bacon type of breakfast, said one guest. I feel a little guilty having alcohol at ten in the morning. If you missed SundaysBeer-unch, you still have the rest of the week at the Tap House and many other pubsto celebrate Kalamazoos Beer Week. Tap House Assistant General Manager, Patti Scarff, believes Beer Week is something special that brings out a myriad of people. Beer Week to me is really cool because you get the biggest range of guests, said Scarff. You dont just get the beer nerds, we have people who have drank hundreds and thousands of different beers andpeople who are new to it and super excited. So you get this whole new range of people to teach and possibly learn from. Tap House is partnering with agencies like Virtue, Latitude 42 and Saugatuck Brewing throughout the week. Were doing a really cool thing on Wednesday with Saugatuck Brewing where we actually went to Saugutuck and brewed our own beers, said Scarff. So were going to be featuring a couple of those and Im really excited. Although events for Kalamazoo Beer Week only run for seven days, the Tap House plans on bringing back their Sunday Beer-unch, again in February.

56 people die after drinking poisoned beer in Mozambique - Yahoo News
An additional 49 people were admitted to hospitals in the Chitima and Songo districts in the northeastern Tete province, and 146 more people have reported to hospitals to be examined for the poisoning, district health official Alex Albertini told Radio Mozambique. ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT Those who drank the contaminated brew were attending a funeral in the region on Saturday, Albertini said. Pombe, a traditional Mozambican beer, is made from millet or corn flour. Authorities believe that the drink was poisoned with crocodile bile during the course of the funeral. Blood and traditional beer samples were being sent to the capital Maputo to be tested, said provincial health director Carle Mosse. "We don't have the capacity to test the samples," she told Radio Mozambique. Mosse told Radio Mozambique on Sunday that she expected the situation to worsen because the region did not have the necessary resources to deal with the disaster. Mourners who drank the beer in the morning reported no illness, while those who drank the beer in the afternoon, fell ill, authorities said. They believe the beer must have been poisoned while funeral goers were at the cemetery. The woman who brewed the beer is also among the dead. Police are investigating the incident. Health authorities have begun collecting food parcels and other items for donation to the affected families.

Beer N Black, Cappadonna from Wu-Tang Clan bring beat to D.C. -- FairfaxTimes.com
Post a comment All of us may be trying desperately (or at least occasionally) to eat enough wild Alaskan salmon, leafy greens and quinoa salads. But lets be honest; if were making the effort to pack a bag and book a flight in search of flavor, its going to be for something decadent. The Galway International Oyster and Seafood Festival in Ireland and the Salon du Chocolat in Paris are two more obvious choices for edible extravagance. Having just celebrated its 60th anniversary, the oyster festival has grown from a banquet for 30 to one of Irelands most celebrated events, with music, shucking competitions and historical tours marking the beginning of the oyster harvest (Sept. 25-27). Salon du Chocolat hosts several events focused on the darling of indulgences, this year in Japan, Belgium, Russia and England; all amuse-bouches to the main course in Paris, a virtual fondue pot of international confectioners and pastry chefs mixing, tasting, building towers out of, and designing clothing with cacao (Oct. 28 to Nov. 1). But some of the worlds richest treats arent quite as refined. Take, for instance, the doppelbock, a doubly strong version of an already thick and malty beer first brewed by the Paulaner monks in Munich in the 17th century. Oddly, it was brewed during Lent, when fasting allowed only the consumption of liquids. The more potent the beer, the more nourishment they got, or so the story goes, and the local flock was happy to follow their example. Today, the tradition is celebrated during Starkbierzeit, or strong beer time, the first of Germanys spring beer festivals (Feb. 27 to March 15). It begins each year at the Nockherberg brewerys Paulaner beer hall and garden, former home to those crafty friars, with the tapping of the first keg of Salvator, the original brew, just as strong. Look for other varieties, as well as oompah bands and other entertainment, at any of Munichs abundant breweries. The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival may have mile-long trains of crawfish bread and stuffed-mirliton, but the gumbos and gravies of the South Louisiana Blackpot Festival & Cook-Off in Lafayette win crowds with personality. Each pot entered in the festivals 10th anniversary cook-off this year (Oct. 23-24) represents centuries of Acadian and Cajun history, family recipes tweaked and tooled over the years to compete for modern palates. Crowds gather at competitors pots on Saturday evenings while the judges decide which wins the day in five categories: gravies, gumbos, cracklins (or gratons), jambalayas and desserts (yes, pies, cobblers and even cinnamon rolls cooked in cast iron). Americana plays throughout, from the regions best zydeco to Appalachian bluegrass, topped off with an accordion contest and square dancing lessons. And in the campgrounds, where most out-of-towners settle in for the night, theres more grilled boudin sausage and fried catfish to be shared, most likely along with a fiddled fais-do-do from a neighboring tent.

Tickets: $25 More information: rockandrollhoteldc.com; (202) 388-7625 Its super exciting, hes one of the pioneers, Wells said of sharing the stage with Cappadonna. Its an excellent opportunity. We reached out [to Wu-Tang management] and they let us know that they really wanted to do a show in D.C. and were looking for a group like ours with a large base in D.C. to work with. Our fan base is going to be coupled with their fan base. They didnt want to do the show by themselves, they wanted to have some local support. And local support is what theyll get. Even before Beer N Black released Random Tandem, their 2010 debut album, the duo had been steadily building their fan base across the DMV. The two met in college at Christopher Newport University and began their burgeoning hip-hop career by rapping for friends together, something Hudson says eased himself into being comfortable as a performer. Wed freestyle at parties, and I started getting really into it, Hudson said of his musical passion. [Wells and I] moved in together, and wed come home from our jobs and get to work. It was just for fun, really, and it became kind of an addiction. I kind of say if it was just me by myself, Id probably never do it. Having your best friend there eases the pain or the anxiety of going up there. Once their raps began to pick up, the two realized they needed a name, and looked no further than an everyday routine. We had this ritual, like every time we came home from work, we would just relax, smoke a Black and Mild, and drink some beers to get ourselves in the right mood to make music, Wells said. In addition to Random Tandem, Beer N Black also released Kingstowne: The Prequel in 2013, an ode to their journey from college kids to young adults in keeping with their high-energy, life-of-the-party sound. Of making music together, the two said their musical influences differ, but always circle back to one very important aspect: the lyrics. Most of my influences actually arent hip-hop, Hudson said. If Im having writers block, I drive around and listen to a lot of rock, old-school rock, and a lot of blues. When it comes to lyrics, I like hearing words that I wouldve never thought to use. Eminem is on another level of vocab.
