Review - Samuel Adams Cold Snap



Another great beer from Samuel Adam's. I instantly fell in love with Sam Adam's Cold Snap. This is a very complex beer with hints of orange peel, plum and coriander amongst other spices. It has a crisp taste and great after taste.

This is an Belgium style whit beer, which is probably why I like it so much. It's unfiltered and hazy. It's 5.3%ABV.

Recipe - Beer Bread



This was a great find at Aldi supermarkets for only $1. I have seen beer bread mixes selling elsewhere for $6+. I decided to try Sam Adams Cherry Wheat for my first bread.

The bread was surprisingly easy to make, just add one bottle of beer and stir. I really liked the way it turned out. It tasted great with a sweet cherry aftertaste. It's definitely one of those breads that have some what of a cake consistency.

I've read some blogs online that suggest making the beer bread and pairing it with cheese. That sounds great too, but I would recommend using a hearty tasting beer.
