Coppertail/Stillwater Collaboration – Good Ideas Session IPA

Got a chance to try out the Coppertail Brewery last weekend for a fellow zythophile’s birthday. Among a number of really great sour beers was an interesting collaboration with Stillwater Brewery called Good Ideas.

Coppertail-Stillwater Good Ideas Session IPA

A Session IPA, this was very hoppy with a heavy floral note but what I really enjoyed about it was the underlying hint of pine that lasted from the first pull to the back end. Tasted almost like a holiday beer. Christmas in July? I’ll take it.

Definitely planning on heading to Coppertail again soon as I’m very interested to see what their Autumn offerings will entail.

Everglades Shrimp and Grilled Parmesan Polenta Cakes

My own take on the classic southern Shrimp & Grits recipe.

Shrimp & Polenta

Shrimp sautéed in olive oil, lime juice, white wine and a pinch of Everglades seasoning served over grilled polenta cakes with parmesan and crushed black pepper.
