‘Round The Beer World

My cousin Beaner, aka Caroline, moved to Australia and fell in love! She and Kris are here on a tour of the East Coast, and Charlottesville made their list! On behalf of the city of Cville, we are honored.

Joined by my aunt and uncle, Matt and I were excited to take them to Beer Run tonight, as Kris is quite the beer aficionado (even more so than Matt, perhaps!?)

Since 66% of our table was left handed, we were pleased to find a large selection of Left Hand Brewing beers on the menu.

I went bold and tried a 10 ounce of the Terrapin Left Hand Collaboration Depth Charge Espresso Milk Stout.

IMG_9045

Holy stout, it was good!!

For dinner I tried the Butternut Soup with a Spinach + Walnut + Bleu Cheese Salad

With the beer [and all those walnuts], it hit the spot.

Our family has an affinity for desserts, perhaps stemming from my grandmother’s excellent pies and chocolates over the years ; ) For the table we shared a Guinness Chocolate Ganache Cake (which was excellent!!) and a Pumpkin Pie (for Kris, who had never had one!)

IMG_9057

The pumpkin was not as good as my mom’s pumpkin chiffon pie, but the chocolate ganache was pretty good!

IMG_9058

The boys bonded over beer and a few more were sampled – taste testing is fun!

Currently sipping hot water, debating starting a new book and excited for my first visit to Monticello tomorrow!

      Yeah! I’m living in Australia right now, and there’s no pumpkin pie here. Pumpkin is popular, but it’s always eaten as a savory dish and they find the idea of pumpkin pie quite strange.

    I hope you started a new book. I’m such a bookworm. If you did, what did you start? I’m currently reading A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. It’s incredibly sad, but I’m not sure if I like the writer’s style or not.

    They definitely need to try a homemade pumpkin pie — so much better than any restaurant!

    Why wouldn’t she love Australia? I’m pretty sure it’s the best country in the world, even if we don’t have pumpkin pie. And okay, okay, I’m probably a little biased 😉

    our family has a renowned sweet tooth, too. it’s hard to out-sugar us with our love of sweet desserts! generations of excellent bakers have helped, too!
    my mom just finished “the help” and said it was one of the top 20 reads of her life. she’s passing the book on to me – excited to read this one!
    happy hallowe’en!

    Yeah for Left Hand Brewery! I like all the love our Colorado microbreweries get on your blog. 🙂 My husband is a homebrewer, too, and has a goal to visit all the microbreweries in CO…a big goal, considering a new one opens up every couple of weeks!
