HOME BREWING with Melissa B
Although Chili and Beer go great together, this is not the same Melissa featured in my Chili Cook Off Contest post. I met this Melissa at a Media Beer Ladies event at Yards Brewing Company. The Media Beer Ladies (facebook page) run by Brooke Penders is a club which combines two beloved traditions: girls night out and drinking great beer! With our Yards tour and tasting complete, we each selected a full glass of our favorite beer (mine the dark, chocolaty Love Stout) and sat down to get to know each other. Melissa revealed that she recently began brewing her own beer at home. Something she figured as a Microbiologist,…

Are You Coming? Philly Beergasm!
April 3, 2013 POST UPDATE To see photos and a brief recap of the event visit Tinsel & Tine’s facebook page I just bought my ticket! Normally, I wait to see if I can get a press pass for an event like this, especially since I’m a member of Collaborate Philly, a co-sponsor of Philly Beergasm. But it’s for a good cause, proceeds benefit local charity Philabundance (hunger relief organization, providing emergency food and access to services to approximately 900,000 people at risk of hunger and malnutrition throughout the Delaware Valley and beyond.) What is Philly Beergasm? Philly Beergasm will be a true love letter to local beer culture.…
