February Beers: Beagle Love Beers

 

As everyone knows, dog love is about the most unconditional love you can find. We recently lost two of our dear pups, our beagles Bailey and Cody. To say that we are sad is an understatement, dog

love, after all, is pretty amazing. Bailey and Cody were our hangout pals on rare days off, and always greeted us like conquering heroes when we'd stagger home after a long day at work. They were both loved deeply and are both sorely missed. So this month, we're celebrating them, and DOG LOVE in general, with a special beer menu:

  

Flying Dog Pale Ale , Maryland Flying Dog Classic Pale Ale is brilliant amber in color and dry hopped with buckets full of Cascades for an unrivaled hop flavor and aroma. This is a true representation of American-style pale ale.  5.5% ABV.

 

Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA, Maryland Snake Dog India Pale Ale is a Colorado-style IPA, power hopped with specialty hops from the Pacific Northwest. This is the brewery's hop monster, and the citrus fruit aroma will hypnotize the senses of the most hardcore craft beer drinkers.  7.1% ABV.

 

Flying Dog Double Dog Double Pale Ale, Maryland Double Dog Double Pale Ale is a generously hopped ale with a deep red color and pours with a nice frothy head. The abundance of hops will conjure some provocative aromas with hints of raisins and citrus.  11.5% ABV.

Blue Dawg Wild Blue (Blueberry Lager), New York Wild Blue is a blueberry lager that fuses the juice of nature's perfect fruit - blueberries - with premium American and German hops, two row and six-row barley malt and cereal grains. Wild Blue has a full taste with a pleasant blueberry aroma and flavor.  8% ABV.  

 

Spanish Peaks Black Dog Ale (English Style Amber Ale), Colorado A deep amber ale with a pleasant hop aroma.  It has layers of malty flavors that give it a complex and well balanced taste.  A substantial and pleasant ale that retains a high level of drinkability. 5.2% ABV.

 

Sea Dog Hazel Nut Porter, Maine This beer is one of a kind! Four different malted barleys combine to create a distinctive, full-bodied beer with a roasted nuttiness, uniquely enhanced by a hint of hazelnuts. Smooth and creamy with the nose of the Willamette hop, this porter is a beer style unto itself. 5.6% ABV

Wines: Beautiful Wines from a "Beautiful Place"

 

This month we are featuring wines from Beaulieu Vineyard, or BV, ("beau lieu" is French for "beautiful place"). This winery has a pretty interesting history to accompany its excellent wines. For example, BV was the only Napa Valley winery to remain in business during Prohibition (thanks to some prior wine selling to the Catholic Church) AND the inaugural release of their Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, marked the launch of a wine that became Napa Valley's first "cult" Cabernet. This month, visit beautiful places in your mind while savoring the following BV wines:

BV wines 

BV Coastal Estates Pinot Grigio, This stylish and approachable wine boasts refreshing notes of honeysuckle and citrus with distinct varietal character and balanced acidity.

 

BV Coastal Estates Sauvignon Blanc, This fresh, pale green-gold wine displays distinctive grapefruit and honeydew character with hints of mineral and lemon zest. Cold fermentation and sur lie aging provide silky texture.

 

BV Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, A blend of several outstanding Napa Valley terroirs, this medium-bodied earthy Cabernet Sauvignon expresses layers of cherry, plum, rose and chocolate balanced with toasty oak.

 

BV Reserve 2005 DulcetA splash of Syrah softens this wine's Cabernet Sauvignon structure, making our lush New World blend as harmonious as its name suggests. Dulcet has medium-to-full body and moderate acidity.

The story behind Heart Song Cookies is wonderful and reminds us of ourselves a few short years ago.

 

For Kathy, cookies are much more than just a treat.  They are a way to share a piece of her soul with another, express creativity, package one of life's greatest pleasures...a hug, into a few sweet bites. For more information check out her website or better yet stop by and try one at the Cafe!
