• Serenity Serenely Sweet & Spicy Summer Chili
  Summer is in full swing! Kids are out of school and family vacations are planned. Greens are ready for eatin’ in our gardens, and grilling is the name of the game when friends and family get together. Make your next grilling or outing special with Crabtree Brewery’s Serenity Amber Ale. The beer is a great addition to marinades, and it is a knockout in our Serenely Sweet & Spicy Chili. Our recipe feeds a crowd, so make sure you have a big pot. This summer chili features a variety of peppers and is not heavy like a winter chili. It goes well with steak, chicken, and even hot dogs. It’s also fantastic by itself. Best of all, after you put it together, you just leave it to simmer—overnight or all day. The kitchen will stay cool, while the aroma of the chili wafts its way through the house, teasing appetites and willing everybody to eat come dinner time. Put some up to freeze once it cools, and you’ve got a great take-along for camping, too. Enjoy!
  


• Boxcar Brown Pork Kabobs
• Boxcar Brown Bean Salad
  My granddaddy always entertained dreams of being a hobo, of riding the rails and living footloose and fancy free. The story goes that one day he did jump a train but soon found himself homesick. So, he worked his way back to the family place in no time flat. A wiser man. Perhaps if he’d traveled with some Boxcar Brown, he wouldn’t have found the journey quite so lonesome. At night beside an open fire, had he added bit of that malted beverage into a can of beans or poured a little over roasting meat, his adventure would've taken on a whole new perspective. Try the recipes here for yourself the next time you're itching to escape or maybe just to have a memorable BBQ with friends and family. It’s Boxcar Brown that'll make the difference and get you on the right track. Enjoy the journey!
