Dinner With Rhonda
Jun 29, 2010 Beer, Celebration Worthy, Good People
What a delightful way to share a warm summer evening.
Rhonda, Matt, Larry, Ginger
My Fine Husband and I had the pleasure of dining with friend and colleague Rhonda Kallman, co-founder of Sam Adams (retired) and founder of New Century Brewing Company, and her husband Matt recently. Since we were in Massachusetts a few weeks ago, it worked out to connect.
I admire Rhonda for her persistence, unflagging belief, and direct style (with a smile). So glad we could get together in her home turf.
Sitting outside, enjoying her beer Edison with fresh seafood, laughing and talking with a very good server taking care of us made for a great night.
Get together with friends often. Savor these experiences.
It’s a big part of what makes the world go round.

Thanksgiving Beer Suggestions
Nov 26, 2009 Beer & Food, Celebration Worthy
If you are in the population that celebrates Thanksgiving, here are a few of my favorite suggestions to go with some after traditional flavors of the holiday.
Sausage, walnut, cranberry & celery stuffed acorn squash
1. Bell’s Lager and Edison. These are 2 of my favorite lagers around. Crisp, nicely and lightly hoppy, very refreshing. Good for any energetic projects the holiday may bring.
2. Russian River’s Belgians. These lush, full bodied beers pair nicely with flavors such as savory squash dishes, roasted poultry.
3. Chili beers. Day after turkey chili? Perfect. Add some zing to the meal with a well balanced chili beer. They also help you make a great Bloody Mary.
4. Lambics. They’ll pair very well with your desserts of the holiday, particularly pies, tarts and chocolate.
Bon Appetit and Happy Thanksgiving All.
