A Guide for Selecting the Perfect Brew in honor of National IPA Day

By: Britain Baker and Lindsay Shoemake

For craft beer aficionados around the country, August 1 doesn’t just signal the start of a new month, but one of the hoppiest days of the year – National IPA Day. Identifiable by their robust flavor, higher-than-average ABV and all-around personality, IPAs have quickly become the “It Brew” in the beer realm. In honor of this hop-tastic day, we asked a few of our beer-loving friends and experts from around the city for their advice on picking the perfect IPA. Check out their flavorful picks below.

First, let’s get things started with Cypress Street Pint & Plate’s resident beer guru (or “BrewRu,” if you will), Rob Merrick, who recommends Dogfish Head Burton Baton.

Speaking of smoked and meaty, what pairs better with an ice-cold brew than some dee-lish BBQ? Chef Mike LaSage of Bone Lick BBQ recommends keeping things light with a Monday Night Eye Patch IPA.

Another fan of a good ‘cue and brew pairing is D.B.A. Barbecue Chef and Owner, Matt Coggin, who likes to keep it local with SweetWater IPA.

Park Bar and Sidebar Owner, Jose Navarro, also enjoys keeping it local. 

Speaking of hops, Diesel Filling Station owner and self-proclaimed hophead, Justin Haynie, recommends a Stone IPA for those looking for a little more adventure.

All great suggestions, but let’s face it – at the end of the day, we love ‘em all and beer expert, writer and founder of the Cruisin’ for a Brewsin’ beer blog, Ale Sharpton, hits the nail on the head when it comes to choosing the perfect IPA.

Now, the question remains as to when the best time to enjoy an IPA is? Just kidding… it’s ALWAYS a good time to enjoy an IPA! Isn’t that right, Ale?

Now that you’ve got the knowledge, it's time to celebrate National IPA Day; so grab a delicious, ice-cold brew and let us know what brand makes your beer senses tingle with hoppiness!

Your Guide to the Best Frozen Treats in Atlanta

By: Lindsay Shoemake

At CWPR, we’re all about kicking back, relaxing and enjoying a cold treat in the midst of the summer heat. To commemorate our love for all things frozen, we’re bringing you our guide to this summer’s must-have frozen treats.

First up we have D.B.A. Barbecue’s Puddin’ Pops, which recently made their summer debut on June 1. D.B.A. sticks true to its roots with the Pops, flavoring the beloved frozen treats with creative add-ons like candied bacon (yes, bacon), chocolate sauce, Girl Scout cookies and banana. For any longtime popsicle fan, D.B.A.’s Puddin’ Pops up the ante and satisfy even the strongest sweet tooth.

But wait a second – D.B.A. doesn’t just stop at the Puddin’ Pops! Frozen boozy slushies are also offered for the big kids, and come served in down-home mason jars. With flavors like spiked root beer, lemon-mint cooler, Whynatte White Russian and blueberry moonshine lemonade (a crowd favorite!), D.B.A.’s boozy slushie selection is undoubtedly enticing. Slide up to the bar or grab a seat on the comfortable patio, reach for a straw and start slurpin’. 

Frozen Pints Craft Beer Ice Cream hit the frozen treats arena just a year ago and it's taken Georgia by storm. With a flavor selection that spans the entire craft beer spectrum from Honey IPA to Vanilla Bock Chip, this one-of-kind ice cream is every beer connoisseur’s dream. Frozen Pints can hold its own while being eaten straight out of the carton, but try adding a scoop of the Peach Lambic flavor to a pint glass of Blue Moon – you’ll instantly have a delicious beer float.

Speaking of beer floats, The Albert’s newest frozen delight, the Stormy Float, packs an icy punch. Mixed with the Inman Park haunt’s Stormy Cocktail, the float is perfectly concocted with Goslings Rum, ginger beer, bitters and lime. Topped with a scoop of Frozen Pints Peach Lambic Craft Beer Ice Cream, you’ll be singing praises about the Stormy Float long after enjoying! 

Atlanta’s own Cypress Street Pint and Plate entered the frozen treats game big time this summer by offering a double-whammy of a dessert item: the Frozen Pints and Sublime Doughnut Ice Cream Sandwich. The treat consists of a scoop of Frozen Pints’ Malted Milk Chocolate Stout ice cream wedged between slices of a grilled Sublime donut. Did we mention that Cypress is the only spot in the city to get a taste of this glazed Sublime donut? Are you salivating yet?

One last must-have frozen treat to try this summer is Bone Lick BBQ’s rich, creamy and boozy Bourbon Milkshake. Expertly crafted and blended with chocolate, peanut butter, bourbon and ice cream, this isn’t your childhood milkshake. Topped with a little whipped cream and served to you with a straw, Bone Lick’s Bourbon Milkshake is just begging to be enjoyed!

This summer, we’re all about these frozen treats, and we honestly can’t wait to try them all. Remember to enjoy them responsibly!

Roundup: Screw Your Resolutions!

By: Britain Baker

A New Year’s resolution is best described as a commitment that a person makes to accomplish one or more personal goals, projects, or to reform a bad habit. In theory, New Year’s resolutions are great, but let’s be honest. Whether it’s to eat healthier, lose weight, or quit smoking, most of our resolutions have about a two-week lifespan until everything falls apart. Then sooner than we know it everything goes back to normal. Our advice? Do yourself a favor and quit while you’re ahead. After all, today is national “screw your resolutions day,” so what better excuse to throw out the salad and dig in to a well-deserved, mouthwatering, calorie-packed delight. As always, CWPR is here to help. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite guilty pleasures from all over the city that will leave you saying “Resolution? What resolution?” Enjoy!

 D.B.A. Barbecue: Bacon Pudding Bacon. Pudding… what’s not to love about that combo? It’s a taste bud’s dream; Sweet, salty, and highly addicting. One bite and you’ll be 5 bowls in before you know it. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!   

Bone Lick BBQ: Gospel Brunch Who says BBQ and breakfast don’t go together? Not Bone Lick BBQ. Sometimes, it’s just not enough to wait until the clock hits PM to chow down on some delicious, smoked piggy goodness. Thank heavens for Bone Lick’s Gospel Brunch, now available every Sunday from 11AM - 4PM. After you pay your respects to the man upstairs, head on over for some upbeat, hand clappin', honky-tonkin' Gospel jams and keep the party going with bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys with all the fixins.  

Cypress Street Pint and Plate: Sublime Burger  A take on the Luther Burger, made famous by singer/producer Luther Vandross, the name says it all when it comes to Cypress’ Sublime Burger. A delicious beef patty topped with a mound of caramelized onions, slice of cheese and (our favorite) bacon between two perfectly crisped glazed Sublime doughnuts. You may be wondering, “Is this real life?” The answer is yes. Yes it is.   

Diesel Filling Station: Death Muffin Don’t let the name scare you. Diesel’s popular brunch item, The Death Muffin, won’t actually kill you, but it will make you feel as if you’ve died and gone to heaven.  Crisp bacon and pork sausage are housed in a woven bacon blanket and covered with maple syrup, grilled, smoked and then sliced atop an English muffin smothered in jam and completed with a poached egg. Best way to start your day? We think so.  

Winter Beer Carnival: After devouring all those bacon-filled delights, you’ll have to wash it down with something, and what better to do so with than beer? Once you’ve sampled over 100 brews from around the country, give one of several games a whirl. After all, games take up energy… so technically, you’ll be exercising and burning off a calorie or two following your calorie explosion, so everybody wins.

Let the glutton begin!

Join the Georgia Theatre for a special performance by Modern Skirts supported by Kishi Bashi and Yip Deceiver this New Year’s Eve beginning at 8 p.m. Born of four hopeful rednecks and numerous misconceptions, Athens, Georgia’s own Modern Skirts crept onto the scene in 2005 with its piano-laden debut record, Catalogue of Generous Men. The record was very well received, landing at #11 on Paste Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 2005". Pop Matters also praised the debut for its “impeccably structured, gorgeous pop.” More recently, Grammahawk reintroduces Modern Skirts as a band honest to its musical tastes. These songs strut with a creepy swagger made from lost vintage beats, freaky found sounds, and booming drums. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the record, though, is its insight into Gulley’s dark, imaginative, and humorous brain. There is a gleeful and twisted pop evil afoot here, so be sure not to miss out on this special night of music as you ring in the New Year.

Located at 215 North Lumpkin Street Athens, GA 30601, The Georgia Theatre is a prominent music venue in Athens, Georgia, located in an old cinema. Many prominent acts from the early music of Athens, Georgia performed at the Theatre, including a range of folk, popular and country acts.

Back by popular demand, Michelle Malone and her band will ring in the New Year at Eddie's Attic once again with two back-to-back performances at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. with special guest Gareth Asher. Armed with a bottleneck slide, harmonica, and her signature soul-filled vocals, Michelle Malone was born in the Deep South and grew up listening to her mother sing in the church choir every Sunday. When it came time to craft her own sound, she took those religious roots, and blended in enough rock, folk, and country-blues to satisfy. The result is, Debris, a high-spirited stripped down blend of rootsy acoustic slide, gritty electric blues and explosive vocals that harkens back to the lost recordings of Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams and The Rolling Stones. Seats are limited, so grab your ticket today by calling 404-377-4976 and for more information, visit http://www.facebook.com/events/500915319927810/. 

Eddie’s Attic is a popular and intimate live music venue for aspiring and accomplished performing songwriters. Located at 515-B North McDonough St. 30030 in Decatur, Georgia, a small artist-friendly town within the metro Atlanta area – a cultural blend of Berkeley and Mayberry. A “listening room” with a superior sound system/acoustics, where customers are asked to silence cell phones and actually listen to the songs, has made the Attic’s music room a hit with music enthusiasts. Eddie’s Attic draws both fans and artists from all over the world, and continues to be one of the premier music venues in the South. On any given night, music lovers can hear talented performing songwriters and bands playing original music in an intimate setting. The Attic welcomes all varieties of original, live music and embraces the diversity that allows independent music to thrive.

Bone Lick BBQ Officially Opens Its Doors In West Midtown

By: Andrea Duke

It’s finally here! Bone Lick BBQ now has a permanent home in West Midtown. Until today, the award-winning barbecue was only served on Monday nights at the Old Fourth Ward hot-spot, P’cheen International Bistro and Pub.  Thanks to diehard barbecue enthusiasts, P'cheen's Monday night pop-up concept was such a hit that it ranked fourth in the state and best in the city of Atlanta according to Atlanta Magazine's "Best BBQ" issue. 

After seeing how successful the weekly series became, Pit Master Mike LaSage and the rest of the P’cheen owners, Alex Friedman and Keiran Neely, decided to bring their beloved, award-winning barbecue to a brick and mortar foundation in burgeoning West Midtown. Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday, Bone Lick is where 50s diner meets southern barbecue joint, complete with a jukebox, an antique skee ball machine and a bathtub behind the bar filled with ice cold beer. LaSage is serving up his tried and true favorites including 48-hour marinated wings, The Legendary Pulled Pork Sammy, the Austin-tacious chopped brisket sandwich, and mouthwatering ribs.  He has also introduced a range of new and creative options including deep fried boiled peanuts, homemade beef jerky, Yucatan-style barbecued snapper, and maple bacon cotton candy. Diners can wash down their delicious dishes with local Georgia beers and wines and American small batch whiskeys.

Drooling yet? Try it out for yourself beginning August 14th. The fourth offering from Georgiville Food Company, a new restaurant group formed by Alex Friedman, Keiran Neely and Michael LaSage, owners of P’cheen International Pub, Pizzeria Vesuvius, and the Edgewood Speakeasy, Bone Lick BBQ is located at 1133 Huff Road at Apex West Midtown in Atlanta. For more information visit them online at www.bonelickbarbecue.com.
