Now that the calendar has turned to spring, it means that it's grilling season. One of the joys of living in Philadelphia is the abundance of roof decks and patios. My current apartment has a fantastic roof deck with an amazing view of the Philly skyline which makes for some relaxing sunsets up there.
Last week I had a few friends over for a man night. We bought a bunch of steaks and craft brews from Sam Adams (not their normal seasonal or lagers, but their craft brews) to continue our brewery tour of the Northeast (in the fall we explored the manly brew series from Bar Harbor Brewery, hence the naming of the event). We expanded from the four inaugural members last fall (Me, Adam, Dave, and Aaron) to add two more (Elliot and Phil). We picked a perfect night for it, getting a balmy 85 degree evening, fired up the grill and began tasting some brews.
Our steaks all turned out exceptionally well thanks to the grilling
skills of Aaron. He and Phil also made some delicious grilled mushrooms
and onions as well as cooking some zucchini that Dave brought over. We
enjoyed seven different craft brews from Sam Adams, and had some
excellent conversation.
