For the uninitiated, Hopslam Ale is a double IPA brewed by Bell’s out of Michigan. This bitter/sweet tango makes Hopslam very easy to drink, especially for non-IPA drinkers. I still remember having three pints of Hopslam with Eric back in the late winter of 2007. As Keith noted on our late-morning Sunday drive to a Hopslam tapping after heavy snow the night before, it’s an adventure.

Almost every time I make pizzas, I opt to move the charcoal grate to the lower level and use the heat deflector to rock out 600° F on the baking stone. This morning, for the sake of time, I opted to grill my dough directly on the grates. The previous night I choked out my remaining fuel and didn’t want to mess around taking the briquettes out to move the charcoal grate. For the absolute best tasting pizza dough, a slow and cold rise works wonders and unless you are a really early riser, when considering pizza for breakfast, its best to make the dough ahead and refrigerate overnight.

I've been grilling turkeys for Thanksgiving for as long as I've had a grill, which means two decades are almost in my rear view mirror. When it comes down to it, my favorite turkeys have always been on the rotisserie, and I've been spinning my birds for as long as I've had a grill. While not a Weber post from this year, it's a perennial favorite and a close second to the rotisserie on Mike's Favorite Grilled Turkey Methods List. While a lot of people grill, a lot of people grill on gas and this same group is capable of grilling some excellent turkey.

I can’t wait to celebrate the 4th of July next year with autumnal color palettes and dried leaf artwork. While fall beers start to land around early August, I always push off till September 1st. As much as I love a malty marzen or a crazy take on a yam beer, I want to at least see “fall” on my calendar before I kiss summer goodbye. The Cold Press Coffee variation is fantastic, with coffee providing the perfect leverage for its sweet backbone.
