Four Peaks Brewery wins BIG

Four Peaks Brewery, housed in the 1892 Borden's Creamery building, has given us several wonderful recipes for Tastes & Treasures cookbook. Love the Oatmeal Stout Shake on page 92.

Now they are winning BIG awards in the beer world. Read about them at http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/bella/2012/05/four_peaks_wins_big_at_world_b.php

Four Peaks Brewery offers refreshing drinks

The recipe for Stout Shake on page 92 is impressive and a cool drink for a hot summer day. Andy Ingram, owner of of Four Peaks Brewery in Tempe has some wonderful offerings in Tastes & Treasures. Try the Halibut with Penne and Basil Pesto at the restaurant or make it yourself from page 89. Fresh basil from the garden makes this very flavorful.

The brewery itself resides in the old Borden's Creamery building built in 1892. No additions were added after 1927 so you can see the old brick, wooden ceilings and 35-foot-high glass clerestory.

You can learn other suggestions from Andy's specials in The Arizona Republic called "Beer Buzz".
