I picked up a couple of beers recently I had never tried before. One Missouri brewed triple ale and an import from the Sub Continent. Schlafly Tripel Ale, a St. Louis original, caught my eye last week as I browsed the craft beer isle at McAdoodles in Joplin.

Schlafly Tripel Ale: The bottle grabbed my attention and the product info made the sale. Seems like that’s often how it happens with me. The company web site describes the golden-colored brew as ”Hearty with a golden hue and rich, fruity character. While this ale is light in color, it is fuller bodied than many darker ales. These characteristics make it a great after-dinner drink and a perfect complement to aged cheese and fruity desserts.” Seems accurate. Not to get too gourmet, I picked up a steak and cheese sandwich at Quizno’s on the way home and and sat back and enjoyed the 750 ml. bottle.

Cheryle Finley: Super party calls for super plan
It’s just a few days until the Super Bowl, which means football and, most importantly to me, lots of grazing at the food tables. I would be hard pressed to tell you which teams are playing for the Super Bowl title, but it’s easy to tell you some great cooking and eating ideas for game day or any day when you are entertaining a group of family and friends.

Dave Woods: Sam Adams founder talks passion, pride and football
Jim, founder of the Boston Beer Company, is the brewer behind Sam Adams stable of craft ales and lagers. I hooked up with Jim by phone recently after touring his Jamaica Plain, Mass., brewery. The crew at the brewery was super friendly and offered great insight into Sam Adams beers. All of Sam’s beer recipes are developed inside the small brewery in JP.
I had plenty of questions for the beer magnate, but one burned: Who was his money on — metaphorically speaking, of course — in the Super Bowl match up between the New England Patriots and New York Giants.
