Creamy Risotto

Food adds richness to the beer while balancing salt and acidity.

Roasted Quail with Farrotto

Beer cuts through, balances strong flavors and allows for a complex finish.

Cashew Butter and Red Pepper Jelly on Toast

Brings out umami and balances sweetness and richness.

Green Chili-Stuffed Portobello

Beer complements the natural flavors and textures while cutting through fat, cleansing the palate.

Brie and Fruit

Milk Chocolate Bread Pudding

The intensity of the pork fat stands up to the strong beer characteristics.

Get to know favorite wines for giving A glass of wine makes a nice accompaniment to a meal or something to enjoy and sip while conversing with friends in social situations. Many people have a favorite style of wine, and some even have a favorite vineyard. In addition, the popularity of wine makes it a versatile gift for the holidays or something to bring along to a holiday party as a hostess present.

Novice wine enthusiasts may be interested in learning more about wine so they can choose their wine selections for gifting and enjoyment more readily. According to the experts at Wine Enthusiast, learning to taste wine and differentiate between flavors is similar to appreciating art or music. Understanding the varietals can simplify the process of selecting wines.

• Cabernet Sauvignon: This is a full-bodied red grape heavily planted in the Bordeaux region of France. Cabernet generally has high levels of alcohol and tannins.

•Merlot: The smoothness and mild flavor of this red wine make it a great option for those who need an introduction to red wine. This wine is lower in tannins than Cabernet Sauvignon, and it tends to have a more fruity flavor profile as well.

• Cabernet Franc: This 8

May 2019 | Wine & BREW Guide

is a light- to middleweight wine that features a high acid content and savory flavors.

• Malbec and Carménère: Similar to Merlot, these grapes originated in France but then made their way to other regions of the world. Malbec is most popular in Argentina, while Carménère is grown in Chile.

• Zinfandel: Although mostly associated with the rosé wine White Zinfandel, Zinfandel is actually a mediumbodied red wine that originated in Croatia.

• Pinot Noir: Soft tannins and high acid give this light-bodied red wine its appeal.

The grapes were first widely planted in France but can now be found elsewhere.

• Chianti: Chianti is the most famous Italian red wine in North America. It’s a dry red that pairs very well with food. Chianti, which comes from the Chianti region in Tuscany, is made exclusively with Sangiovese grapes, or at least 80 percent of them and other blends.

• Chardonnay: This is a medium- to full-bodied dry white wine. The Chardonnay grape is a white grape from the Burgundy region of France.

• Sauvignon Blanc: Citrusdriven and often lightbodied, Sauvignon Blanc is another dry white grape planted widely in France.

It also is a parent grape to Cabernet Sauvignon.

• Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio: Pinot Grigio is a zesty, dry white wine that is particularly associated with Italy even though it originated in France, where it is thought to be a mutation of the Pinot Noir grape. Pinot Grigio skins are not green like other white grapes, but

have a gray hue, hence the name.

• Reisling: Those who prefer a sweet white wine can opt for Reisling, which can be traced to Germany. It can be a good match for those who appreciate other sweet white wines, such as Moscato or GewŸrztraminer.There are many wines to tempt palates. When gifting, the selections mentioned above can tempt foodies and budding sommeliers alike.

Brothers Curtis and Thad Benner started home brewing in their basement in the early 90s as a hobby. The goal was to just try to make a craft brew, nothing fancy or extraordinary, just good, simple, clean, craft brew. Little did they know something simple would turn out to be something extraordinary. Years later after brewing countless batches of craft brew with some very good successful brews and some magnificently brilliant failures they would go on to open a craft beer pub.

Brother Curtis took a leap of faith and went to Brew Masters school in Davis, California earning his degree for Brew Master and Brew House Management.

Brother Thad meanwhile honed his skills in business and restaurant Management.

After years and years of crafting and experimenting in their own garage, testing one recipe after another, tweaking and adjusting as they went along, honing in on the brews they liked best, they produced good, clean, solid, drinkable brews.

The Benner brothers then decided to take their skills and knowledge and open up what we know today as Eclipse Craft Brewing."Sunbury's Oldest Craft Brewery", located in beautiful downtown Sunbury, PA.

18

249 Market St • Sunbury, PA 17801 570-917-8100 eclipsecraftbrewing.com

Their principles are still the same, to make craft brew which are good, clean, smooth and solid.

Open Wed & Thur 3-10pm Fri & Sat 11am - 11pm Sun 11am - 7pm

In addition to the Brewery they offer pub style food with artisan style pizza to be added to the menu in the near future.

May 2019 | Wine & BREW Guide

Notable craft brews are their Thorny Prick, Cuppa Coffee Porter, English and Scottish Ales. All smooth, delicious and drinkable craft brews.

Explaining popular beer styles Beer can be the perfect complement to a delicious meal or an ideal beverage when unwinding in the backyard or watching a movie at home. The explosion of the craft brewing industry, which the Brewers Association notes experienced a 5 percent growth in 2017, ensures that just about anyone can find a beer that suits his or her palate. Beers are often placed into one of two categories, ales and lagers, though the difference between beers within each category is significant.

Craft beer novices or those who simply need a refresher course on their refreshments may benefit from studying up on these popular beer styles.

Ales Ales are a type of beer brewed with top-fermenting yeast, which is often referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;ale yeast.â&#x20AC;? One of two types of yeast used in brewing, topfermenting yeast is unable to ferment some sugars. Because of that, beers made with topfermenting yeast may have a sweet flavor.

Beers made with topfermenting yeasts can tolerate high-alcohol concentrations, so ales may have a high alcohol by volume, or ABV.

Stouts Stouts also are made with top fermenting yeast, placing them in the ale category, though they are not as sweet as ales. Stouts, including the popular Irish stout Guinness, tend to feature creamy heads. A dark, coffeelike character also is common in many stouts, and that can be traced to the use of unmalted roasted barley during their production.

Porters Similar to stouts, porters are made with top-fermenting yeast.

Porters are brewed with

roasted malt, setting them apart from stouts.

Porters are dark, and many are described as producing flavors of chocolate, coffee and caramel.

Lagers Lagers are brewed with bottom-fermenting yeast and generally feature a lower ABV and lighter color than ales.

Examples of American lagers include Budweiser and Coors, though many craft brewers also produce lagers.

Dark lagers are malty and smooth, and such beers typically have a higher ABV than more traditional lagers.

Craft breweries produce a variety of styles of beer, and those new to the craft beer scene should know that many craft breweries produce their own ales, stouts, porters, and lagers. When visiting a craft brewery for the first time, men and women may want to order a flight, which is a selection of the various beers brewed by a particular brewer, with each beer typically served in a four-ounce glass. Doing so allows beer drinkers to sample various beers and find the style that suits them best.

Passion. Perfection. Persistence. These three traits drive us to create exciting, new and different wines that will invigorate your senses and even change the way you look at wine. We’re life-long wine lovers and natives of the beautiful Seven Mountains Region in Pennsylvania. Seven Mountains Wine Cellars puts the two together; it enables us to share the delights of wine with neighbors from our own region — and with adventurous wine lovers from all over the U.S. and beyond. Seven Mountains is family owned and operated and will soon be celebrating our 10th Anniversary in August.
