The beer Matt chose was Dubhe Imperial Black IPA by Uinta Brewing. It did not disappoint and was as described:
- Toasted, chocolaty dark malts align with an astronomical amount of hops
Carnitas are like burritos but with pork. I used a recipe I found online, doubling the spices and using a pork loin since I had one in the freezer. I looked for pictures online to decide which toppings to use and settled on lettuce, onions, fresh cilantro, lime, salsa and cheddar. They worked out well.
We served them with broccoli slaw and chips with guacamole (favorite recipe here).
