April is #BeerMonth on NY Foodgasm

Beer Month is an entire month dedicated to craft beer. That’s because beer, especially craft beer is so diverse and so varied that there’s so much you can do with it!
In celebration of #BeerMonth I post beer recipes, articles about beer and some of my favorite beers. In the future there will most likely beer #BeerMonth celebrations here in NY and I will find a way to get all you guys in on the action.

My love of craft beer started with The Gateway to Craft Beer, Pumpkin Spice. I think you ladies know what I am talking about. If not this is the magic that is pumpkin spice ale- It is ale brewed with pumpkin and spices and then in NY (as I understand this is not done everywhere) they rim the glass with pumpkin spice sugar. TO- DIE- FOR. I fell and I fell hard for the spice. The spice captured my heart and then I just had to know more about craft beer.

I moved on to other fruit beers. One of my first faves was Bluepoint Blueberry Ale, so delicious and perfect in the summer. Then I tried Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. Then I really started getting adventurous and ventured onto the dark side. Dark beers- dun dun dun **cue scary music** My biggest takeaway – never to judge a beer by it’s color. Just like with people, you should see what’s happening on the inside. While I don’t encourage you to lick a person to see if they’re any good… I do encourage you to at least take a simple sip of a beer. At worst, you can easily spit it our
if you don’t like it.

Since I had my own blog I knew I had to incorporate cooking and beer together for a month of craft beer love. As my love of craft beer grew, it blossomed into a new direction for me. I write for 2 magazines about local craft beer and have become completely immersed with the craft beer culture here on Long Island.

Beer month was born so I can share recipes with local craft beer and give you a little taste of the local scene and happenings. Since I never drink alone- I always invite some bloggers to get in on the fun with me!
