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.

Eating and Exploring in New England & Beyond

Crab Bruleè at @thestagerestaurant603 in Keene is such a fun appetizer. You crack the hard layer of caramelized sugar on the top, and then scoop up the crab Rangoon dip with the wonton crisps. It’s not too filling, so it’s a great way to start your dinner.
The Grotto at @thestagerestaurant603 …….. such a lovely dining area just off the sidewalk, down a narrow alley. This is an incredible hidden gem in the heart of Keene.

I highly recommend you enjoy a great meal here while the weather is still perfect.
