Starkenberger Brewery - An Austrian brewery castle where you can literally swim in beer Presenting the one place in the world where it's not girly to take a bubble bath: the centuries-old Austrian brewery Starkenberger, who've built the world's first-ever beer swimming pools in the recesses of their brew-castle, and, for a paltry fee, you can take a dip. Here's the skinny: Starkenberger Located a few hours outside Munich, the setting for the Starkenberger Brewery castle is pretty ridonkulous, though, with the glory that's awaiting for you inside, you probably won't want to spend too much time out there. As a brewery Starkenberger's been at it for more than a hundred years, and is currently (and always has been) run by women. Barrels are stored down in their super gothic cellar, which you could see if you dropped $10 on a brewery tour, but totally don't care about since you came for the beer pools! You've gotta make reservations in advance but for $298/ pool (and an additional $6.50/ person) this could be you sharing a beer pool with blonde coeds.

The 10 manliest cocktails (and how to make them) Beer and Food Pairings at Epicurious F or centuries, if you asked a restaurant server in any mid-range to upscale American eatery what drink to pair with a certain dish, he'd bring over the sommelier and a wine bottle negotiation would ensue. But in the last five years, there's been a paradigm shift: Beer has made it onto the menu as more than an afterthought. Beverage directors, chefs, and even wine lovers have learned that beer has an amazing capacity to pair with all kinds of foods. As a result, beer sommeliers have popped up in cities across the country, especially Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Portland, Oregon. Beer-and-food tasting events have multiplied exponentially—the monthly lists at beerfestivals.org are enormous. Nowadays, asking for a beer no longer means you're simply afraid of wine (or the type of person who wears face paint to football games). Beer may actually be more food-friendly than wine is. food and beer pairing issues: Complementary or contrasting flavors? Comparing beer to wine Examples:

Better than the Best Stuff on Earth: Lemon Iced Tea Needless to say, this is the most vital step. But for the ones out there that didn't catch on, this is the most vital step. Again. It is still important. Pour 1 quart of water into the saucepan.Put the lid on the saucepan and put it on the stove to boil.Boil it.Once the water has been boiled, pour it into the jar. Set the kitchen timer for 20 minutes.Put both the green and black tea bags in the water.Start the timer and let the tea steep for 20 minutes. When the timer goes off, pull the tea bags out of the tea.Apply 15-17 squirts of lemon juice (more for more lemony flavor, less for less lemony flavor). *You don't have to use sugar, but it makes the final product of lesser quality.

Horchata Horchata is a Mexican specialty drink. It is often referred to as an “agua fresca” or a “fresh water.” These are drinks like tamarindos and the cucumber lime agua fresca that I posted last fall. They are essentially water flavored with fruit or other fresh flavors. I’m flat out cheating with this one. It has also become common to make horchata using sweetened condensed milk, and though there are certainly applications where I will use sweetened condensed milk, here, I think it adds too distinctive of a flavor. I’m so happy to have a recipe for horchata that has met with Pitts’ approval. This is a natural recipe to use homemade vanilla extract . Recipe: (serves 6) 1 cup water 1 cup sugar 3 cups milk ⅔ cup rice flour ½ teaspoon cinnamon 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups ice cubes water, as needed 1. 2. Note: The sweetness of this mix accounts for the fact that is served over ice and therefore watered down a bit. It is summer. See, I wasn’t kidding.

Lemon Tequila Cocktails {with salt} I’m a big fan of tequila with salt. That’s why I really, really love today’s salty lemon tequila cocktails. And I’m 102.4% sure you will love them too. And if you don’t… well then I guess I’ll tell you to check out the Basil Lemon Vodka Cocktail instead. The idea for these lemon tequila cocktails with salt came from a menu I saw at a restaurant. Anyway, the minute I saw the name Salty Lemonade I knew it would be a great mixed drink with tequila. I thought about using bottled lemonade for the cocktails until I read how much sugar was in the bottle. Instead, I got out the juicer and fresh squeezed my own lemons. To balance out the salt and the citrus, I used agave nectar. Salty Lemonade Tequila Cocktails Author: The Mixologists Serves: 2 3 ounces reposado tequila 1 fresh squeezed lemon 1 tbsp agave nectar (adjust according to your own tastes) Salt Lemon wedge for garnish Rim two rocks glasses with lemon and dip in margarita salt. Now don’t those just sound amazing? Cheers!
