Thank You

Thank you to everyone who voted. I will go into a much bigger thank you on the Results Page, as well as looking for feedback, suggestions for next year (and all other years going forward), and in general people’s thoughts, ideas, and if they enjoyed this year’s tournament or not. I hope everyone did. I appreciate all the time and effort everyone spent on voting and participating in the tournament, and I can only hope everyone enjoyed it. This year’s edition was plagued with a few technical issues on our website, on social media, and all kinds of things, but I think we made it through, just going an extra week long due to the issues. But ending on WrestleMania Night 2, on Easter, and on 4:20 day, kind of made up for it.

I want to congratulate all of the finalists – Allusion Brewing Company (Apollo Conference winner), Collusion Tap Works (Zeus Conference Winner), Liquid Noise Brewing Company (Cascade Conference Winner), and Acclamation Brewing (Liberty Conference Winner). All four breweries did a fantastic job throughout the tournament, and are fantastic breweries period. So if you can, go out and support these great places and people!

There was a total of 256 breweries competing this year, from 13 states and the District of Columbia.  So this was certainly a hard fought win, especially since it’s their second win, for Allusion Brewing Company. Congrats to them (again)!

Hoppy Easter to One and All

Hop Shoot Omelet https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/04/10/hop-shoot-omelet/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hop-shoot-omelet Mon, 10 Apr 2023 11:52:00 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=11015
Hop Omelet – With a beer of course.

Hop Shoot Omelet

Who doesn’t love a yummy omelet to start their day? Are you needing new ideas for your omelets? Want something all vegan, all tasty, and can also even be all home grown? Then this is an omelet for you.

It is a pretty simple, straight forward recipe, not a ton of ingredients, and lots of room to add, change, or tweak the recipe to your particular likes.

The Hops

Hops starting to grow in our gardens here at The Beer Thrillers Headquarters

Hops are one of the main ingredients in beer (along with water and yeast). For the purposes of making a hop shoot omelet, any variety of hops will work, and so far as I can tell there’s no taste difference between variants in hops (as far as eating them goes). At The Beer Thrillers Headquarters (or Bender Braus Brewery) we have Cascade, Chinook, Centennial, Nugget, and Saaz. We had potted Walhalla, Willamette, and Magnum. Unfortunately over the winter the potted ones didn’t survive.

Harvesting the shoots is pretty easy. March – April the hops will begin to pop up out of the ground (depending on how the weather has been, but its usually end of March to beginning of April that you’ll see them popping up). For growing the hops (for use of the hop cones) you only want a few of the vines to grow, so you need to snip and cut the remainder away, which is perfect for making our meal.

When ready to make your meal (typically the morning of), go out to your hop vines and snip off the ‘heads’ of each vine. See image below for the ‘heads’ of the vines.

Hop heads

Only cut about 1 – 2″ from the top of each of the vines, this is the ‘hop heads’ and is the most tender and tasty part of the hop vines / hop shoots.

A quick rinse under the water before getting them on the skillet or pan is all you really need to do, and thats a cursory rinse just to remove any debris or dirt.

Reminder – Use Only the Tender Parts

Friendly reminder – use only the most tender part of the hop vines. This will probably be only the top head of the vine, or about 1″ to 1.5″ – 2″ of the vine. Anything more than that its going to get very fibrous and chewy and not very tasty. It’ll also have tiny little prickles.

Depending on when you find them, your hop shoots may be short or just a couple inches, or very long like vines – this is why I recommend early season for the hop shoot omelets. Right around Easter time is usually the perfect time to trim and clip off the unwanted vines before the hop plants grow into a massive tangled mass. Hop shoots can be harvested at any time of the year up, but its best to do it early in the year. As long as there is tender, young growth to harvest they’re fine to eat.

Early season works best because you are already pruning the hops back naturally anyway, so its kind of a “kill two birds with one stone” kind of scenario.

Ingredients and Equipment

Hop Shoots Omelet

This is a very simple and adjustable meal. You can decide how many eggs you want, you can decide what greens, meats, etc., you want in. Herbs, spices; pretty much everything is up to you.

But here is generally what I use when I make a hop shoots omelet at home:

  • As much fresh hop shoot heads as you have (or want to use)
  • 4 – 6 eggs
  • 1 or 2 chopped bell peppers
  • 1 / 2 chopped onion
  • Optional meats: 2 oz of bacon, sausage, kielbasa, or your preferred meat
  • salt (sea salt or kosher salt), oregano, thyme, lemon pepper seasoning, Italian seasoning, garlic salt or powder

Serving size depends on number of eggs used; but generally serves 2 – 4 people.

Best as a breakfast, brunch, or as an appetizer before dinner.

Equipment and tools needed:

  • Skillet or pan (preferably 10″ stove pan)
  • Chopping boards for peppers, onions, meat
  • Bowls for chopped vegetables before adding them to the pan
  • container to beat the eggs in before adding them to the pan
  • knives / utensils (for cutting up peppers, onion, meat, and for beating the eggs)

Instructions

Hop Shootss Omelet
  1. Ready the stove, heating the pan, use butter or vegetable oil, or spray to prevent sticking
  2. Prepare your eggs – beat them in the container until nice and fluffy
  3. Prepare your vegetables and meat you are adding (chop them and put them in bowls)
  4. Prepare your hop shoots (rinse them delicately, and keep them in a bowl)
  5. Saute the hop shoots, the pepper, and onion
  6. If you are using meat, add when necessary
  7. Add in the eggs, stir, twirl, and keep the eggs properly distributed about the pan

Overall cooking time should take roughly 10 – 15 minutes (depending on how you like your eggs, meat, and vegetables).

Serving

Remember – always serve with a beer

Serving size depends on the amount of eggs and vegetables you added, but typically it should serve 2 – 4. You can top it with cheese or any other spices, herbs, or flavorings you wish. One thing you do certainly need to serve it with though is a beer!

You’ve worked hard now, grab a delicious craft beer, and chow down! Enjoy!

Hoppy Easter – IPAs https://thebeerthrillers.com/2020/04/12/hoppy-easter-ipas/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hoppy-easter-ipas Mon, 13 Apr 2020 00:00:50 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=2801 In honor of Easter (and what a weird Easter this is too), and since we’ve all been stuck inside all day. I figured I’d do a listicle of some of the IPAs we’ve reviewed. I’ve done a few other listicle articles (not too many, as I’m not a huge fan of them), but I figured its been a while, and since its Easter, lets do a “hoppy” one about the various IPAs we’ve reviewed.

Firstly, the other listicles I’ve done:

After a few months of us doing the beer reviews, I added the category – styles; where you can click through to find your favorite style or if you want to check out reviews for a particular style. I haven’t gotten to go back through and add the old reviews to the new categories, but I will. In the mean-time, we currently have 26 (and growing) in the IPA Category. You can find it by clicking it here: Categories: Style: IPA.

We’ve been running this blog since late May last year. I (B. Kline) have done a few podcasts (for both beer and pop culture). I am also doing a Beer Education series right now, with a running table of contents. You can see the table of contents (so far) below:

 

The Beer Education Series:
* Beer Education: Series
* Beer Education: Syllabus
* Beer Education: Introduction
* Beer Education: Module One: The History of Beer Brewing
* Beer Education: Module Two: Barley and Malting
* Beer Education: Module Three: Water

 

Hopefully (fingers crossed) there will most likely be Module Four released and posted tomorrow.

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful, hoppy, and happy Easter. It wasn’t my usual, but it was an Easter spent with family. So that in and of itself made it a good day. Got to do some grilling for Easter dinner:

 

Nothing beats grilling and drinking a wonderful (D)IPA like Time Keeper by Fourscore Beer Co.

 

So from us here at The Beer Thrillers to your family, we hope you had a wonderful hoppy Easter. Please stay safe, and cheers everyone!

 

Have a Hoppy Easter!
