A cold front moved into my area overnight, and temperatures will be in the low 60s here at kickoff. So, 11am kick or not, it’s finally time to move to the darker beers. Good-bye, shandies! See you next May. A brilliant local option to transition to the dark side is Avondale Brewing’s Vanillaphant Porter, which I will be enjoying. For something with a more national distribution, Founder’s Breakfast Stout is solid choice (Editor’s note: I concur).
My food pairing will be a grilled pork chop with a side of steamed fresh green beans. How am I doing this while watching the game?
