Recipes: Croûte de Pécan Bière (A Pecan Pie Ale)


  This is a recipe I wanted to post that I consider a tip of the hat to my southern Louisiana roots. Pecan Pie is served especially in the fall with coffee as the perfect end to large family meals. With very few "pecan pie beer" out in the craft beer world (none that i like) I decided to give it a shot. Now you can too, so go brew it up, judge for yourself & enjoy with family around a dinner table!

CHECK IT OUT: Simply Beer gets to interview Dogfish Head's owner about the Life & Limb release with Sierra Nevada



Dogfish Head brewery has a collaboration with Sierra Nevada called Life & Limb hitting the streets as I type this. Since I live on the west coast it would be very slim to impossible to get the chance that Peter over at SimplyBeer got. He got to interview my brew hero Sam Calagione. It's a youtube video interview with mention of a cool new collaboration on the horizon! Check it out and drop @simplybeer a tweet sometime for some great home brewing tricks and tips. Here is the link to his interview: Sam Calagione Talks About Life & Limb and Future Collaborations

Enjoy,
