Heat over medium-high heat until butter melts (approximately 180 degrees) stirring often.
BBQ Sauce Instructions ('soppin'):
In a heavy 2 quart saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and oil.
Add onion and sauté until it is slightly caramelized, approximately 5 minutes.
Add garlic and sauté another minute.
Add all remaining ingredients, stir well.
Raise heat to high, bring to a boil and stir constantly for 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, partially covered, stirring occasionally.
Note: Sauce can be used immediately or if preparing ahead of time, cool sauce completely, under refrigeration.
Prior to using, reheat sauce to a minimum of 180 degrees.
Sauce may be refrigerated for up to one week.
Baby back Rib Cooking Instructions:
In a large stock pot, combine all ingredients except ribs and bring to a boil for 5 minutes.
Add ribs to pot and return to a boil, immediately turn off heat and allow ribs to 'soak' for 10 minutes.
Remove ribs from liquid and allow them to cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Baste ribs with basting ('moppin') sauce, both sides.
Place in a storage container, cover and place in refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours.

New Arrivals:
SHIPYARD BREWING COMPANY Monkey Fist IPA - This IPA is edgy, aggressive, and unique in style. This beer is brill.iant copper in color and exploding with Warrior, Glacier and Cascade hop character. 6.9% ABV (bottle and draft).
CIGAR CITY BREWING
Bone Valley Brown Ale - This brown ale is a sessionable, highly hopped American brown ale with rye added. It has large forward citrus hop bitterness and aroma with light spicy notes from the rye and moderate chocolate character. The perfect beer for hop heads who want to have an extended humulone experience without being overtaken by alcohol early in the evening. 5% ABV (draft only).
CRAZY MOUNTAIN BREWING COMPANY
Amber Ale - This delightfully floral American style Amber Ale displays a wonderful balance while still maintaining a profound hoppy goodness. We load this beer with a ridiculous and obscene amount of West Coast hops that are added late in the boil, resulting in a hoppy beer without any bitterness. 5.25% ABV (can only).
Lava Lake Wit - This Ale is their take on a classic Belgian Wit Beer. To make this beer unique, they add un-malted wheat, rolled oats, two varieties of classic European hops, chamomile, curacao orange peel, coriander, grains of paradise, and a rare yeast strain from the Old Country. This is a beer that can be enjoyed year-round, whether on the slopes on a beautiful bluebird day, or lazily fly fishing in Lava Lake. 5.2% ABV (can only).
Mountain Livin' - They utilize two types of American hops in such a way that they put the flavor of these hops center stage and let their bitterness fade into the background. The hop forward character of this beer is represented not in its bittering qualities, but in the unique, fruit forward flavor of two new and somewhat experimental American hop varieties. Enjoy this beer with a fresh approach to how a Pale Ale expresses its inner hoppiness. 5.7% ABV (can only).
 BISCHOFF PREMIUM
Pilsner - This award winning pilsner is brewed with premium, hand-selected hops that create a fresh, traditional pils tasted that is love by beer drinkers around the world. 4.7% ABV (bottle and draft).
Black Lager - A classic German "schwarzbier" or "black beer" with a traditional black color and a full but mild taste. 5.2% ABV (bottle and draft).
Hefeweizen - A traditional wheat beer that is a delight for all occasions and a refreshing experience during all seasons. 5.2% ABV (bottle and draft).
Doppelbock - A strong, full-bodied bock beer that gives you wings due to its' inner strength and richness. 7.5% ABV (bottle and draft). GAFFEL KOLSCH Gaffel Kolsch - This particularly fresh, specialty beer from Cologne, brewed according to a time-honored family recipe and German Purity Law of 1516 with water, malt, and hops. The delicately bitter, pleasant, slightly hopsy taste is characteristic of this traditional product and clearly distinguishes Gaffel Koelsch from all other Koelsch brands. 4.8% ABV (bottle and draft). OSKAR BLUES BREWERY Deviant Dale's - Born at the corssroads, in a juke joint, as if Dale's Pale Ale sold its soul to balance Deviant's foreboding aromas of citrus, grapefuit rind and piney resins with a copper ball-of-fire color and inscrutable finish. 8% ABV (tall boy cans and draft).
Other returning favorites hitting the shelves:
Look out for returning hits such as: Avery Karma (bottle and draft), Avery Samael's (bottle and draft), Stone Russian Imperial Stout (bottle and draft), and Blanche de Bruxelles (now in cans).

| The Beer Guy Previews American Craft Beer Week
By: Post Staff
The business of craft beer is booming. And that means American Craft Beer Week 2012, which runs Monday through May 20, will be bigger than ever.
"While craft is booming everywhere, it's especially true in South Florida," according to John Linn, baron of beer happenings for Brown Distributing Co. in West Palm Beach.
While the nation's craft brewing industry was up last year (13 percent by volume, 15 percent by dollars), its growth was puny in comparison with South Florida's.
"Our Specialty Division sales (Palm Beach to Key West) were up 84 percent from 2010 to 2011," says Linn.
Part of that growth can be seen and tasted daily at the Tequesta Brewing Co., where brewers Matt Webster and Fran Andrewlevich have been bubbling up daily batches without much respite. They'll celebrate American Craft Beer Week (ACBW) in style with a special release of an Imperial Red Ale made with a hop from a central Washington farmer.

| Beer Mash Fattening Cows, Trimming Costs in Colorado
By: Steve Raabe/The Denver Post
Explosive growth in Colorado's craft-brewing industry produces not only more beer, but more beer byproducts.
That means the hamburger you eat next week may come from a steer happily fed last week with brewing leftovers.
Using spent grains for livestock feed dates to the advent of beer. But with corn and other commodity prices sky high, feedyards increasingly are using brewing byproducts to help fatten cattle in preparation for slaughter.
"They say that Colorado is the Napa Valley of beer, and there are a lot of breweries here producing a lot of spent grain," said Joe Schiraldi, vice president of brewing operations for Boulder-based Left Hand Brewing.
Shipping processed barley to livestock feeders "really helps their economics," Schiraldi said. "It's a great way to direct that waste stream."
Some brewers give their spent mash away. Others receive about $5 to $10 per ton for the wet grains.
Either way, it must go. Craft brewers have little storage for used grain, and production bottlenecks quickly materialize without disposal.

The biannual competition, now in its ninth year, featured submissions from 799 breweries across 54 countries and 45 U.S. states. In all, 3,921 beers in 95 style categories were considered. Five breweries and brewmasters were named champions in various size categories. Sixty-seven percent of the 211 judges were from outside of the U.S., spanning 26 countries abroad. Taste tests were blind to eliminate the possibility of bias.
