We made a wonderful pork chop, sauerkraut with potatoes meal. I needed a beer to pair with it. I choose a traditional German Double Bock. “Paulaner Salvator”. It went perfect with the meal. Very little hops in this beer which worked out great. I almost severed a nice “Riesling” wine with this and it would have went nicely with this meal, but I’m a beer guy.
Beer
Not a new beer but a good one.
I needed a beer to go with some homemade Chili. Choose “Hop Back” an nice amber ale from Tröegs Brewing Company. This beer has become my favorite. Not too hoppy but just enough to pair nicely with some spicy food. As for the Chili I used a slow cooker recipe. I used sirloin tips instead of chopped meat. It was great big chunks of beef that melted in your month.
Too Cold For Me to Fish!
Well it is to cold for me to fish, but I can still eat and drink.
I had a really nice porter with my corned beef dinner tonight.
“Dead Reckoning Porter” from TrÖegs Brewing Co Hershey PA. This beer Is dark brown with a nice full head.
A taste of coffee with a little bit of a hoppy finish. Give it a try.
Sea Dog Hazelnut Porter

Very nice beer. A good porter with a nutty finish. Good for a cold night by the fire.
