FP72: Beer, Baseball and the Magic of Carbonation

Food Philosophy #72: Beer, Baseball and the Magic of Carbonation

Is there anything more American than beer and baseball? No, this isn't about a day at the ballpark. It is, however, about the magic of carbonation, and what that means for the senses (this is good stuff, people).

You'll also hear a clip of my interview with baseball legend Reggie "Mr. October" Jackson, who is dabbling in soup these days along with Al Yegenah, the inspiration for the Seinfeld "Soup" episode.

FP69: Belgian Beer

Food Philosophy #69: Belgian Beer

Did you know that Stella Artois was originally brewed as a Christmas lager? And that it is crafted by monks in Belgium? Chef Mark and I learned that and a whole lot more as we explored Belgian beer with our new friend Marc Stroobandt, a Master Beer Sommelier who flew in for a special dinner at Markt restaurant in NYC. He offered us some surprising tidbits, as well as some very helpful guidelines for pairing beer with food.

Featured Belgian beers:
Stella Artois
Hoegaarden
Leffe Blonde
Leffe Brune

Coming later this week: Video with Marc Stroobandt featuring the proper way to pour these beer varieties. Even if you already think you know how, this is worth watching!

What's in a Glass?

I read the news this morning that Boston Beer Co. has designed a special glass for Sam Adams Boston Lager. Long a fan of the tasty beverage, I'm intrigued by Jim Koch's efforts to showcase it at its best. There were apparently hundreds of prototypes created and tested by sensory scientists (now there are some people I need to meet), and the final result claims to showcase the beer "just as the brewer intended."

There is an extensive description on the Samuel Adams web site which actually specifies what different sections of the glass do for the taste, i.e. "The outward turned lip delivers beer to front of tongue where sweetness (malt) is tasted." You can see the rest of the description here.

As a sensualist, I must say that this kind of attention to the sensations of a beverage and its interaction with the palate is something that pleases my sensibilities immeasurably. Thought + sensory stimulation + passion = a very pleasurable imbibing session. Nicely done, Jim Koch.
