October 2017 - Brown Ale & Chicken Pot Pie

While I usually make chicken pot pie in a pie plate, this time I tried a new recipe that called for individual cups.  It was Weight Watchers Individual Creamy Chicken Pot Pies.  And they were delicious!

We started out looking for Taft's Brewporium Brown Ale which we had heard was highly rated, Jungle Jim's did not have it because I think it may be only served on tap.  The next choice was Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale.  We found it (well we thought we found it) and realized on the way home that it was actually Dogfish Head Indian Brown Dark IPA.  It was fine with me because I love IPAs.

After a little more research we discovered that the Brown Ale had recently been morphed into the Dark IPA so it worked out perfectly.

It was a great pairing!
