Beer Flats Have Curves : Super Bowl 2013

FOOD:

A couple of months ago met Maria Walley of Daelia's Food Company while she was promoting a new product at East Village Cheese Shop. 
East Village Cheese Shop is legendary for discount prices on a large variety of cheeses and gourmet products. Got to love that for a Super Bowl party.

Maria's pitch was spot-on. Weeks later received an email from Maria; and, she sent samples of Beer Flats in Pilsner and Porter for Cooking Lounge to review.

The first thing that caught our attention was that Beer Flats have curves. Perfect for scooping and cradling all kinds of tasty bites from cheeses to spreads to cured meats. 

At Cooking Lounge, we munched the Beer Flats with Collier's Welsh Cheddar Cheese and an Old Golden Hen English ale, while cooking during the holidays. Of course, the crackers go well with beer.

Beer Flats are hearty, sturdy, whole grain, small batch "artisanal flatbread crackers made with craft beer." The Pilsner Beer Flats are malty and slightly sweet. The Porter Beer Flats are a savory, flavorful balance of rye, caraway, and molasses with hints of cocoa. The Porter Beer Flats are far more complex on the palate.  These crackers have great shelf life. An opened box of Beer Flats maintained quality for over a month; they stayed crisp and crunchy. 

Super Bowl XLVll is February 3, 2013 in New Orleans. 

Beer Flats are a perfect compliment to almost any Super Bowl culinary line-up.

What to Eat? - Super Bowl Recipes - Top 10 Websites

 

Clock is ticking, countdown to the Super Bowl: New York Giants vs New England Patriots.

By 6:30pm the streets of New York City, and pretty much every city in the U.S., will be deserted, for the Super Bowl. The subway trains will trace the tracks with near empty cars. The city that never sleeps hits pause and roots for the hometown team, the NY Giants. Screams and cheers, and hopefully no bawling, will emanate from bars, apartments and brownstones, echoing down the empty streets, as taxis idle.

Once you have decided how to watch the game, usually the next question is 'What to Eat?.' If at bar, no problem, order off the menu or order delivery. The hassle comes when you have to bring food to a Super Bowl party where a bag of Doritos or a 6 pack of beer will not do. Or even more stressful, you are hosting a party with foodie friends. Need to prepare some tasty munchies that probably will not make it onto any healthy eating list? Go for it. It's the Super Bowl. Indulge! Have fun. Cook.

To make it a little easier to decide, 'What to Eat?'; here's Cooking Lounge's Top 10 sites for Super Bowl Recipes.
