Beer ‘Pocket Pancakes’ celebrates a winning Brewers season

A big beer befits a big season: G5’s Pocket Pancakes. Looking for a big beer to celebrate Brewers’ mania? G5 Brewing in Beloit rolled out the barrel —literally — in honor of Brewers’ manager Pat Murphy with the release of Pocket Pancakes ($23/16-oz bottle). The name calls attention to Murphy’s penchant for pulling out a cold hotel pancake from the pocket of his hoodie when he needs a snack during the game. This beer is a big 15% ABV breakfast stout aged in barrels for 44 months — more than two years in Wild Turkey bourbon barrels, followed by a year-and-half in maple syrup barrels. The brewery offered a limited release of the beer last fall, but when the Brewers made it to the World Series, G5 Brewmaster Tim Goers decided it was time for another run. This year’s version has had an extra year of barrel aging, making it more robust and sweet, just like the Brewers’ season.

This Unassuming Illinois Pizzeria Serves Sausage Pizza So Good It Should Almost Be Illegal

Anthony Bourdain called one pan pizza the only deep dish he ever loved. That pie still comes out of a small, homey pizzeria on a quiet suburban street in Illinois. The crust edge gets so dark and caramelized that it looks almost burnt. It isn’t. That crunchy, cheesy rim is the whole point, and the sausage on top is a house blend.
