Habanero Peach Sour Ale Salsa
Last year some friends of mine had a "Harvest Party and Salsa Competition" around this time of year to help bring in the fall season. Since they're big gardeners, the 'harvest' part of the name suited it just perfectly; hell, they even opened up their garden so people could go in and pick whatever they wanted (think 8 foot tall tomato bushes, no joke). Anyway, as last year's winner of the salsa competition, I kinda feel obligated to defend my title, right? So I entered my tried and true traditional salsa last year, and feel that I need to step it up a bit with my entry this year. I just bought 3 monstrous Colorado peaches that should be perfectly ripe come Saturday, so I'm thinking of a peach based salsa. Actually, it would be more of a pico de gallo consistency, so we'll see. I have some sour beer that I'm going to try with this for the juice. I've always wanted to use habaneros in a salsa, so why not now?

Cooking with Beer: Beer Battered Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa and Crema Aguacate
It has been been a while since I wrote about cooking with beer, but damn, this is definitely one to put on your menu! Yesterday, I was reading my latest email from the Brewers Association and I stumbled upon a link to some recipes; specifically for the beer battered fish tacos with mango salsa and avocado crema. If you like fish tacos, these are definitely hard to beat! We used tilapia, and Breckenridge Brewery's Vanilla Porter instead of the suggested IPA, so feel free to change that up a bit. Now that you've been informed, go get your ingredients, and grub down!
Here you go!
