Beer Week

Week Three

The beer spectrum in Oregon is as varied as the personalities who brew it, from our signature IPAs to deep dark stouts to beers aged like wine. This week brewer and accomplished cook Alan Sprints of Hair of the Dog Brewery takes a trip to the hop fields of the Willamette Valley and gets inspiration for the kitchen and his latest brew.

Featured Recipe:

Beer Braised Short Ribs

This dish is rich and hearty; it makes a great main course or could be used as an appetizer.
