Bevy of Beers

by Letetia on May 19, 2011

Have some fun close to home, as in craft beers from small breweries in your area. Or become an armchair traveler and try out beers from around the world. German beers “vom Fass” (on tap) are spectacularly yummy, but go ahead and thrill your guests with a close second by breaking out the bottled versions.

Glühwein…take that, oh wintry cold!

March 4, 2011

This German equivalent of mulled wine is typically served during Christmas season in Germany, but in my mind it’s fabulous on any wintry day. Go ahead and have [...]
