Dogfish Head and Woolrich Team Up for Pennsylvania Tuxedo

In Pennsylvania, the family-run heritage clothing label Woolrich is so ubiquitous that they teamed up with Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales for a collaboration that also doubles as a nod to the uniform they conceived. Called Pennsylvania Tuxedo, the spruce-infused ale “pays homage to the flannel-suited hunters and gatherers who dwell deep in the back country of north central Pennsylvania.”

The ale, which was brewed with the help of the Woolrich, has, according to Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales, “a grassy citrus kick complemented by the resinous conifer notes of fresh green spruce tips.” Dogfish went into the forests of north-central Pennsylvania and Georgetown, Delaware to pick the fresh tips themselves. The ale has a “dry, yet doughy malt backbone [that] lets the hops and spruce shine while still balancing out the bitterness.”

Similar to a pinot gris, the beer pairs great with smoked salmon, smoked meats, wild game and big crusty breads. If you want to drink it while eating cheese, go for a Jarlesberg or sharp cheddar.

So next time you put on your Woolrich flannels, grab a six pack of the Woolrich and Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales Pennsylvania Tuxedo. You’ll feel as if you were in the forests of Pennsylvania hunting. Or you can just get a bottle and imagine you were in the deep woods of Pennsylvania wearing your Woolrich flannel suit ready to find your prey.

A Michelin-starred chef guides us on pairing wine and pasta
pasta courses at Massara NYC

Enjoying a nice bowl of fresh pasta? While steak and wine are often touted as the perfect pairing, pasta is also a complex pairing for wine. But with so many pasta types, cooking styles, and sauces, pairing pasta with wine is a complex task. We decided to try out the new pasta-tasting menu at Massara, a Southern Italian restaurant in New York helmed by Chef Stefano Secchi of Rezdôra (a one Michelin-starred restaurant).

"Michael Duffy and the somm team has done well in the pairing," said Chef Stefano Secchi. "Luckily, the wines on our list pair well with the food eaten in the region…a strong ethos and throughline of our restaurants."

I tried the Kamado Joe Konnected Joe—here’s how it handled real recipes
Even if you make mistakes you can create crowd-pleasing meals with Kamado Joe Konnected Joe
Pre-heating the Kamado Joe Konnected Joe guarded by with Happy.

I jumped at the chance to test the Kamado Joe's Konnected Joe Digital Grill and Smoker. Like most members of our extended family of avid cooks and eager eaters, I enjoy grilling year-round. Still, my experience has been limited to conventional charcoal grills and three-burner propane grills. I was curious about what it would be like to cook with a ceramic grill, and grew even more excited by the prospect of precise temperature control promised by the Konnected Joe.
Why cook with a kamado-style grill

Kamado-style ovens, stoves, and grills use heated stone or ceramic to provide radiant heat that cooks the food. The Kamado Joe brand of kamado grills cooks with radiant heat, with thick ceramic sections in the cooker. It can take some time to reach the desired temperature, but the grill's heavy insulation retains the heat for a long time.

How I upgraded my De’Longhi Rivelia to make incredible cold espresso drinks
How to unlock six new cold foam recipes
De'Longhi Rivelia

I first started using the De'Longhi Rivelia espresso machine, the brand's newest fully automatic, innovative, and touchscreen espresso maker for home use. I was instantly impressed with how easy this espresso maker was to use and how quickly it made it possible to prepare all my favorite espresso-based beverages.

Ironically, I was so caught up in learning how to use the machine to make hot coffee drinks that I forgot it could also make cold coffee drinks. Once I upgraded with the De'Longhi LatteCrema Cool kit, I unlocked a whole new world of possibilities for cold coffee drinks, from an iced white flat to an iced cappuccino. This tiny upgrade changed the game, solidifying just how much I love this espresso machine.
