For this weekend's #beersaturday adventure, I returned to an old friend in my favorite session beer; Moon Man, by New Glarus.
As I am getting ready to leave a company behind that I've spent 16 years at, my anxiety seems to be at an all-time high. Like any change, it's tough to estimate the unknown of the future. With five more working days to go, and nerves growing, we decided to take it easy tonight and make a cast iron meal while having a few Moon Mans. Easy enough!
I love this pale ale. The hop bill is very floral; the majority of hops are from the Yakima Valley, and one-fifth of the hops come from New Zealand. At only 5% ABV, it's no double, but you don't feel so bad the next day if you have more than one.
So what did make for dinner while enjoying our beers? We found a fusilli pasta dish recipe for the cast iron; we chopped up some mushrooms, red onions, and threw it on some grass-fed ground beef. We added some tomato sauce, herbs, and even some cheese to give is some kick.
We threw some fresh basil on from the garden, a bit more cheese presto! Dinner was served with a nice cold beer on the side.
Another easy enough #beersaturday. Not as fancy as some of those Toppling hazy beers, but still a good Saturday. If you are interested in joining the fun, definitely check out the link below :

Yum looks amazing.
New Glarus makes some fantastic beer. Just saying.
Yes they do! Are you in the state? I know it's hard to get outside of Wisconsin
I'm in MN. We can get it, but it's a little bit harder in some parts. There was a bar in the Twin Cities that got shut down because they were buying kegs and transporting it across the border.

Ah you have some good stuff over there too...I love Furious
That's funny about NG's Cow; there was a bar in Manhattan years ago too (a Packer bar, I think), that was driving back kegs of Spotted Cow and brats in a van every week or so to NYC. They got shut down too; lots of things have changed in the world, but you can't mess with alcohol distribution laws over here. Distributors got it too good being in the middle to let stuff like that fly, lol
lmao, I can't stand surly. Their brewers don't know how to do hops right. Everything is overhopped as though that's a good thing. It's not. I much prefer Bent, Summit, Utepils, and Lake Monster. If you ever find yourself in the twin cities, let me know. I'll take you and a brewery tour.
ha, yeah I don't know...i like the pine taste of Furious; I don't really drink much of their other stuff. I'd definitely take you up on a brewery tour...I'm in La Crosse, so not that far away. I really like Toppling south of us in Iowa; that might be my favorite brewery in the area right now
