Press Release: MadTree Collaborates with Top Cincinnati Chefs on Charity Cookbook

MadTree Collaborates with Top Cincinnati Chefs on Charity Cookbook

Mix and Mash pairs MadTree beers with gourmet recipes to support La Soupe

CINCINNATI (December 18, 2017) – MadTree Brewing and top local chefs have collaborated to bring food and beer together in a new cookbook, Mix and Mash: Recipes for the Table and Glass. MadTree has a long history of working with local chefs to create unique new beer flavors through their Chef Series and now they have created a full-color, hardbound cookbook to showcase their combined talents. As a part of MadTree’s belief that beer builds community and community builds beer, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to local non-profit, La Soupe.

The 125-page book features more than 25 recipes created by the chefs using a MadTree beer as an ingredient. The recipes span from vegetable fritto misto to roasted pork belly tacos to citrus IPA bars. Readers will also get to know a little bit more about each chef along the way. Additionally, MadTree has included the recipes to brew their most popular beers at home.

“Creating Mix and Mash has been one of the most rewarding projects we have ever done at MadTree,” said Sarah Gast, MadTree Brewing marketing manager. “We have always admired the creativity of these chefs and loved brewing beer with them. This time, we were able to step into their world to help share some amazing dishes while supporting a great cause.”

La Soupe’s mission is to rescue otherwise wasted produce to create delicious and highly-nutritious meals for customers, non-profits, and food-insecure families. In 2016 alone, La Soupe rescued 125,000 pounds of perishable food from going to the landfill (“ugly” or over ordered produce from grocery stores) and donated almost 75,000 servings to people living in food insecurity. They are on-target to double that amount in 2017. MadTree previously partnered with La Soupe for the launch of their Pilgrim fall ale, donating a portion of sales at the can launch party in September of this year.

Mix and Mash is available now for $50.00 at the MadTree Taproom, online at http://shop.madtreebrewing.com, and at Joseph-Beth Booksellers’ Rookwood, Crestview Hills, and Christ Hospital locations.

The chefs featured in the book are:
Dana Scott Adkins
Paul Barraco
Jared Bennett
Brad Bernstein
Rachel DesRochers
Mike Florea
Patrick Hague
Dylan Jones

Jeff Ledford
Andrew Mersmann
Arik Messerschmidt

About MadTree Brewing Company
Cincinnati’s MadTree Brewing made history when they opened in 2013 by becoming the first modern craft brewery to can its beer in Ohio. In February 2017 they opened a new $18M brewery, taproom, beer garden, and private event spaces in Cincinnati’s Oakley neighborhood. MadTree is known for focusing more on great tasting beers rather than following traditional brewing style guidelines. Their award-winning beers are distributed throughout Ohio by Cavalier Distributing and throughout Kentucky by Beer House Distributing.

About La Soupe

Headed by Chef Suzy DeYoung, La Soupe is bridging the gap between food waste and hunger. They rescue “ugly” and over-ordered perishable food to create delicious and highly-nutritious meals for food-insecure families. A small percentage of soup is sold to paying customers and sales of the meals fuel our donations to Cincinnati’s food-deprived individuals. La Soupe is a non-profit organization that relies on soup sales and individual donations to operate.

Cider Review: Blake's Hard Cider Co. Cyser

Well, I had one more cider left in my collection and again it is one from Blake’s Hard Cider Company out of Michigan. This time it’s the Cyser which comes in with an alcohol content of 6.9% ABV and is one of their seasonal offerings featuring a combination of honey and apples used in the fermenting with hints of bergamot and jasmine. Not sure what bergamot is but everything else sounds delightful for sure. So without further ado, check out my video here and let’s see what this cider has to offer.

Cider Review: Blake's Hard Cider Co. Flannel Mouth

Mixing things up again as I decided to check out a cider here, and this time it is Flannel Mouth from Blake’s Hard Cider Company. Now, usually ciders aren’t something that I get often look to get, but it was such a good deal that it was like the saying in the movie, “it was an offer that I couldn’t refuse.” Check out the video to see and hear my thoughts, but if you want to quickly see how I rated it then see those numbers below the video.

Unboxing Video: What's This? Rare Beer Club? Well, Ho Ho Ho!

Hello and once again it's time to do an unboxing, and this time it comes from two of my business partners as a gift for Christmas. A gift that keeps on giving as they had enrolled me into a rare beer club as part of www.beermonthclub.com so every three months over the next year I will receive two what are considered rare beers. This video is the unboxing of that first shipment and I am looking forward to seeing what is included. So let’s get to it and thank you Brant and Emily for the nice gift.

Beer Review: Rogue New Crustacean Barleywineish Imperial IPA Sorta

New Crustacean Barleywineish Imperial IPA Sorta is one heck of a mouthful of words for a beer, but that’s what Rogue Ales & Spirits chose and that’s what I’m drinking and reviewing for this go around. Coming in with an alcohol content of 11.6% ABV and an IBU level of 88, this is not a beer for lightweights. As one could guess from the crab on the bottle, seafood is being touted as the go to for pairing. And played as not quite Barleywine and not quite Imperial IPA, this one should be quite interesting. Check out my video review to see my thoughts on this beer and why it rated as I did. And of course remember, there’s always time to “Get Your Beer On!”

Cheers!

Beer Review: Unibroue Maudite With Average Joe

Maudite is an offering from Unibroue, a microbrewery out of Canada which is now a part of the Sapporo Breweries so can’t fully call it a craft brewery of one follows the definition assigned by the Brewers Association. Nonetheless, I and my friend Joe have decided to take a look at this Belgian Dubbel and see what this 8% ABV ale has to offer. So check out the video here to see our thoughts and join us by grabbing a cold one so that we all can now, “Get Our Beer On!”



Rating: 84 Out of 100
