Meatless Monday Featured Pairing: Falafel Sandwich + Bison Organic IPA
Posted by Ashley on Mon, Jun 27th 2011, 15:59True story: Bison's operating owner and brewmaster, Dan De Grande, loves falafels. So much so, that he even eats them on "non" Meatless Monday days.

Meatless Monday Featured Pairing: Gazpacho + Bison Organic Honey Basil Ale
Posted by Ashley on Mon, Jun 20th 2011, 18:00Not sure what the weather is like in the rest of the world, but if it is anything like NorCal, is it hotter than Hades. The sun is in full force, and temps are creeping up towards the 100 degree mark. And it is times like these where cooling down with a refreshing craft brew is not only desired, it is necessary.

Meatless Monday Featured Pairing: Beer Battered Asparagus + Bison Organic IPA
Posted by Ashley on Mon, May 23rd 2011, 14:53With asparagus season in full throttle, it is only appropriate that today's featured Meatless Monday recipe features this delicious little powerhouse. Although not substantial enough to be a meal on its own, our beer-battered asparagus spears make an excellent afternoon, pre-dinner or late night snack. For the batter, we chose to use our organic IPA, which we think adds a nice bitter hop bite tha
