Smoked Salmon & Horseradish Spread

Smokey flavors are spiked with the bite of the horseradish.  Distinctively divine on a plain, rye or buttery cracker.

Black & Tan Pork w/Spicy Ale Slaw

Add some pizzaz to your St. Patrick’s Day meal this year. The combination of exotic spices and the ever-traditional stout and ales from across the pond blend deliciously in this pork and slaw combo. Nix the boiled corned beef and cabbage...
