Craft beer meets fine art in Carmel as taproom opens in gallery

It's not everyday you find freshly brewed beer in an art gallery, but that's exactly what you'll find at Silver Horns Brewing Company in Carmel. The venture, which opened Oct. 17, combines the passions of Kelly and Mark Edwards — she's the owner of Arbor Gallery where Silver Horns in located; he's a longtime homebrewer who formerly worked in animation. Together, their nano brewery features five beers: a kolsch, cream ale, New England IPA, IPA and a stout. To come: lagers, saisons, sours and more stouts. Snacks (e.g. nuts, pickles and olives) are also part of their offerings with the hopes of attracting a local food truck to their parking lot (they're located at Promenade on 6, which features a variety of businesses). Already, Maybe Coffee is there with coffee drinks, pancakes, pastries and acai bowls. Customers are also allowed to bring in their own food. Dining: Westchester restaurateurs expand, elevate their cozy eatery to Putnam Keeping to their local theme, they also have seltzers from Upstate Stock and plan to offer wine. From the beginning Kelly said the gallery's goal was to be as community-minded as possible. That is why, although she's been in the Promenade for three years,

8 exceptional bakeries to get Thanksgiving pies in North Jersey

Getting put on the Thanksgiving pie article is tough, because — contrary to the dinner, which is easy to mess up — I genuinely believe holiday pies are better homemade. For 98% of the time. Buttery crust filled with mom's hand-whisked custard, caramelized apples peeled by grandma; swirl on the whipped cream and you've got a slice of culinary heaven that's impossible to top... ...unless your local pastry shop is run by someone who also happens to bake at that level, in addition to having a cake-centric career, a cookie-inspired Instagram page and a professional dessert education. (Sorry, Grandma. You're not Christina Tosi .) Since I've been assigned this duty, then, I've compiled a few bakeries that can compete with, or — God forbid — surpass, the treats of our most beloved family members. From Bergen, Passaic, Morris and Essex counties, here are eight exceptional bake spots to get Thanksgiving pies in North Jersey. **NOTE: Pre-ordering is recommended, if not required, at most spots. Details included.
