“Green Beers” Menu
Mar 16, 2012 Beer & Food, Education & Training, Women and Beer
As a matter of course for WEB, below is the menu we served at the monthly meet-up we host. Women only, education based, highly social and fun, taken care of by hospitable host location partners.
We choose “Green Beers” ala sustainability. It’s the perfect time to not tint any beer food coloring green and to highlight the members of the brewing community that exercise Earth friendly practices. Our host, Standing Stone Brewing, has been recognized as a very green brewpub so it was an easy choice for us to return.
The beers are clean, solid and they brew house beers as well as seasonals. In fact, we even had the last of their barleywine, which had been covertly stashed for the occasion!
Enjoy other green beers, wherever you may be – by supporting your local brewer who is also supporting Mother Earth. Cheers ~
- SSBC Amber with extra crispy garlic fries.
- SSBC Barleywine with bleu cheese and candied walnuts
- SSBC Double IPA with corn chips topped with humus and chili oil drizzle
- SSBC Noble Stout with classic chocolate cake

How Do You Quench Your Thirst?
Jul 13, 2010 Beer, Something To Think About
What quenches your thirst? And what specifically are you trying to quench?
In the beer world, quenching – for me – involves context as well as what’s in my glass. What to consider?
thirst quenching beer
Well, time of year and climate of locale for one. For example right now, in Southern Oregon, it’s hot and dry. Bring on a refreshing session beer (a range of them is great). As the evenings cool down, I’ll always welcome a full flavored stout or porter with some ice cream or other yummy complementary dessert. A crisp hoppy Pale or IPA with fresh citrus fruit in a tart – mmmm! also makes a swell choice.
Consider also availability of beer where you’re at. What’s fresh on tap at the spot you’re sitting or driving to or through. Fresh is always better (as long as it’s not green). Available beer could also be some home brewed beer as well if someone decides to offer to share.
And what about what’s new? Consider what’s new to the market as well as what’s new to you. What haven’t you tried – or had in a long time. What’s newer to the market, perhaps even an exclusive roll out or tasting event of a special beer.
Quenching involves your physical thirst as well as your metal thirst. What makes you satiated and happy – although I’d actually put happiness with satiation.
Have fun quenching this summer.
