August Grilled Corn on the Cob and Helles

This pairing ranked at the top!  We were a little skeptical about grilling the corn because it has never worked well for us.  I found this recipe online and it was perfect.  No soaking in water, no removing silks before grilling, just put on a hot grill and turn often until outer husks are burnt.

We served it with  pork loin ribs that I cooked in the crockpot.  I coated them with lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano and paprika.  The meat fell off the bone making them a little hard to grill at the end.  They were perfect.

Matt sent us on a beer run (armed with my newly downloaded Beer Advocate app) and we found  Weihenstephan Original Premium beer.  It turns out it is made at the oldest brewery in the world dating back to 1040 (no, that is not a typo, almost 1,000 years ago!).  The beer was lighter than expected and pretty good.

Here was our social media post:

See you in September for Fish & Chips and Double IPA.  Can't wait!

Special Event: Beer and Pizza at Lori and Victor's

Friday night we were invited to Lori and Victor's for a Beer and Pizza tasting.  Everyone brought a six-pack of craft beer.  We brought Revolution Anti-Hero IPA.

  

Their backyard was so cool!  She had a big tub of ice with lots of beer!

But the best was their pizza oven in the yard.

They made lots of different pizzas!

 

We tried lots of different beers!
