Beer-brewing pals craft a winner!

Hobbyist and pro concoct a winning India Pale Ale

Tim Blangger | The Netizen’s Guide

October 17, 2007

pro_am.jpgguys.jpgOn the face of it, it’s an odd combination. Imagine a professional chef collaborating with a barbecue enthusiast. Or a NASCAR pit crew member joining forces with a shade-tree mechanic.

That was the idea behind a professional-amateur collaboration organized last weekend by the biggest beer contest in the country, the Great American Beer Festival.

A Lehigh Valley duo took gold in the Pro-Am category. Chris Bowen, a Bethlehem home brewer, and Beau Baden, brewmaster for the Allentown and Bethlehem branches of the Brew Works, collaborated on an English-style India Pale Ale. They beat out 47 others in the category.

The idea for the team started at a beer dinner this summer at the Bethlehem Brew Works restaurant and brew pub.Bowen, 40, a financial planner whose hobbies include jazz guitar, woodworking and electronics, started chatting about beers with Baden, 36.

Moos and brews

Beef-beer dinner will serve five courses - with beverages, of course

By Diane Stoneback | Of The Morning Call - September 5, 2007

 

How many times have you had beer with your dessert, rather than hot coffee or tea? For that matter, how often have you had beef-filled puff pastry with Parmesan ice cream for dessert?

These are just two of the surprises on tap Saturday at the Allentown Brew Works’ first Beef and Beer Brewmaster’s Dinner, which will feature a five-course meal accompanied by 10 different, finely crafted beers.

Musikfest, good food, and Valley’s downtowns

The Morning Call - Donald P. Russo - August 4, 2007

Allentown continues to lag somewhat. There are, however, several bright spots, and I believe that Allentown can be turned around as Easton and Bethlehem are. The Fegley family, for example, has done a noteworthy job building the Allentown Brew Works. It is breathtakingly beautiful, and it simply has to be seen to be believed. There are three huge floors, and each floor is more gorgeous than the next. One can only hope that enough people can be drawn into downtown Allentown to make this place a success. The Bethlehem Brew Works, owned by the same family, is a smashing success. However, downtown Bethlehem and downtown Allentown are two very different places. The formula for success at in downtown Bethlehem may in fact be quite dissimilar to the formula for success in downtown Allentown.
