Imbibe Magazine May/June 2014

I’m very excited to be published in Imbibe Magazine for a second time. A couple of months ago, I went out to Earth Eagle Brewings in Portsmouth to photograph the making of gruits, which is ancient type of beer made without hops, and instead with many other types of herbs. They concoct fascinating combinations of herbs and even meats in their gruits.

The herbs and spices are weighed out carefully and wrapped in a large cheesecloth bag and steeped like a teabag, infusing the brew with flavor and often herbal/medicinal qualities.

One thing you’ll always see on the table at a NC barbecue spot is a bottle of @texaspetesauces. If you don’t know, this is not a product from Texas but a North Carolina product. My whole life, I have never really seen anybody put anything on their bbq other than Texas Pete. 

Fun fact about me: in the 4th grade in Kernersville NC we had a guy from the Texas Pete family come to speak to my 4th grade class. This would have been 1987 or 88. Must have been great marketing, because I never forgot it. 

Lexington Barbecue is not even on IG as far as I can find but they are world famous and I’m glad I got to stop by last week. Shown here: Chopped bbq plate with red slaw, fries, and hushpuppies. #ncbbq #lexingtonbbq #texaspete #bbq #barbecue
