Join the Revolution:
DECLARE INDEPENDENCE!
 This
week is the annual American Craft Beer Week (May 17 - 23), a national
celebration highlighting the culture and contributions of craft beer.
America's small and independent craft brewers want the week to
inspire beer enthusiasts to declare their independence by supporting
breweries that produce fewer than 2 million barrels of beer a year and
are independently owned. In the works are special brewery tours, beer
and food pairing events, special release craft beers and festivals all
across the U.S. The Declaration of Beer Independence
is available on the program web site and the American Craft Beer Week
fan page on Facebook, which has more than 7,000 fans thus far.
Changed to a week long event in 2006, the inaugural American
Craft Beer Week was recognized by the U.S. Congress with House
Resolution 753. The week has continued to grow with interest
and support from beer enthusiasts and the media.

At the Deli:
Gourmandaise
with Walnuts
from France
Made from cow's milk, this spreadable processed cheese is a unique
blend of aged cheeses (Gruyere and Cheddar), and cream, with a hint of
added flavors. One type is flavored with walnut and is excellent with
pears and other winter fruits, or even accompanied by blue cheeses.
The other type is infused with kirsch, the clear brandy distilled from
cherries and their pits and used in making fondue, and black forest
cake. Gourmandise varieties are most commonly served as dessert cheese;
a true delicacy especially when served with dessert wines like Sherry
or Port or well chilled champagne.
Stop by for a sample at the Sun Singer Deli.
