The Official Brewsletter of Appalachian Brewing Company Camp Hill
June 2015
The Craft Beer and Soda of Appalachian Brewing Company
Dear Friends,

Spring is finally in full swing, and the official start of summer is just around the corner. At Appalachian Brewing Company, we're here to help you make every special occasion this time of year even more spirited.

First, as a Dad who's recently experienced my own child's high school graduation, I know personally how proud other parents are of their kids. Whether you're celebrating their leap to college, or jump into the professional world - you can't beat a visit to ABC! We're proud to be a family-friendly brewpub with a little something for everyone when you treat your grad and their 'entourage' to dinner or just a drink.

Secondly, it's also time to celebrate Dad, himself. Father's Day is on Sunday, June 21. If the 'old man' in your life loves a great pint of beer and an epic burger, there's no place like ABC. Treat Dad to one of our delicious entrees and wash it down with an old fashioned Appalachian Root Beer Float - and he'll love you forever... although we know he already does. No matter which ABC location you prefer, keep an eye out for list of specials throughout the Father's Day weekend.

On a different note, I'd like to thank our great team at ABC of Gettysburg Gateway for organizing the recent Mug Club Open Golf Tournament. More than 20 teams competed in this 8th annual event held this year at The Bridges Golf Club in Abbottstown. For those of you who were there - you may or may not remember how great of a time it was! For those who missed it, don't make the same mistake next year!

Until next time, Cheers!

Our Hops Garden is Growing!
We're putting our deck to good use


The deck at ABC of Camp Hill is open, and along with being newly painted - we're growing hops! This first-time gardening venture is going well, with several varieties of hops currently thriving in this sunny space. 


 

Please take time to check out our crop the next time you visit. Along with the great natural ambiance these hops will provide as the vines grow, we're looking forward to using them to supplement the beer recipes in our own small-batch brewing system!

We Support the Big 33
The Big 33 Football Classic happens on June 20


 

ABC is a sponsor of this year's Big 33 Football Classic, which is a battle between the best outgoing high school senior football players from Pennsylvania and Maryland.

 

This year's game happens on Saturday, June 20 at Hersheypark Stadium, with kickoff at 7:06pm.

 

Along with putting on a great game, the Big 33 Scholarship Foundation does great things for local students, athletes and families.

Chef's Recipe

Ginger Beer Glazed Shrimp Skewers

 

From the kitchen of ABC Executive Chef Kyle Mason, we present this tasty and innovative dish you'll enjoy trying at home!

 

Ginger Beer Glazed Shrimp Skewers

Makes 12 Skewers (serves 6)

 

Ingredients:

A dozen 9" Bamboo skewers soaked in water

2lbs. White Shrimp, (fresh of frozen) 21/25 CT P&D Tail On

� Cup of Brown Sugar

12oz ABC Ginger Beer

2oz Soy Sauce

1 Chopped Scallion

1 Garlic Clove (chopped)

1 Tsp Sriracha sauce

 

Directions:

*If using frozen shrimp, allow time to properly thaw prior to cooking.

 

Place bamboo skewers into water and allow soaking for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent skewers from burning on grill. Rinse the shrimp under cold water to ensure they are clean. Using two pounds of shrimp, you should have around 48 shrimp. Make sure the shrimp is peeled of its shell and deveined. The tail can remain on or off if you prefer.

 

In a bowl combine 12oz of Appalachian Ginger Beer, 2oz of your favorite soy sauce, � cup of brown sugar, 1 Tsp of Sriracha (you may add more if you like it spicier), 1 clove of freshly chopped garlic, and 1 scallion finely chopped. Mix contents of bowl until well blended. Next add your cleaned shrimp to the liquid and allow to marinate for at least 20-30 minutes. Once your shrimp and skewers are ready carefully slide 4 whole shrimp onto each skewer, save the remaining marinade. You should yield 12 total skewers.

 

Place your skewed shrimp on a preheat 400F grill and allow each side to cook for approximately 1-2 minutes. Brush the shrimp with the extra marinade as they cook for additional flavor.

 

Serve two Skewers per dish with your favorite back yard sides and enjoy!
