BIG GAME REQUIRES AGGRESSIVE BEERS – HERE IS OUR TOP 5 ALES OF ALL TIME!!! As an added bonus, we threw in our favorite chicken wing recipes to compliment each ale. ENJOY!!!
We will start off mild and finish with our hottest pick. These
are must tries for any favorite dark ale and chicken wing connoisseur.
#5 Ballast Point: Amber Calico
Amber Ale:
Inspired by world-renowned ESB’s, it has a nice rich complex malt flavor, but
what sets it apart is the sneaky HOPS boys!!! It’s a world class domestic from
the west coast brewery, Ballast Point, located in San Diego, California. It has
a beautiful bitterness, but very smooth, that only an ale drinker can love. According
to the reviews, there is supposed to be floral flavor patterns, but I am not
tasting it, so it is good to go from my point of view. Its color is a nice dark
rich amber, with an overall alcohol content of 5.5%. Look for the fantastic sports fishing bass
artwork label that sets in apart from the other microbrew in your trusted fine
wine & spirits store.
Super Smokers Sweet
and Spicy Chicken Wings Recipe
We tried these great flavored wings from About.com that

These wings are
incredible and match up perfectly with the Amber Calico!
#4 Flying Dog: Raging B@$# Belgian Style IPA
This funky IPA has hops, hops and more hops from the
geniuses of Flying Dog Brewery in Fredrick, Maryland. It is an explosion of all
that bitter goodness and more. Sweet malt? What sweet malt, OK it does have a
touch, but it has a nice pine note with a suggestion of grapefruit. Sounds
weird right, but it is amazing and totally lives up to its well-deserved name.
Its alcohol by volume packs an 8.3% punch you in the face impact with a hop
bitterness of 60 IBU. The beers label is so bad•ass it actually warranted a
law-suite against it. http://bit.ly/YLl9jg. Creative director, Adam McGinnis,
is the man behind the newest look of the beer labels and packaging.
The IPA pairs well with: Wasabi, Ginger, Jerk, Cajun, or
Cayenne: Tangy Cheese With Fruit; Dark Chocolate
Rockin' Ginger-Wasabi
Wings
We tried these kicked up wings from Foodista.com
Prep Time: Overnight
Cook Time: Until nice and brown
Ingredients:
20 chicken wing pieces
1/8 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons wasabi powder, mixed with enough water to form a
thick paste
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

If wings are too much
trouble, this beer is killer with any type of beef jerky
#3 Fegley’s BreWWorks: HOP’SOLUTELY
This is a serious triple threat IPA with a serious
bitterness, but God you have to love it! This ale has a great caramel malt that
it balanced with a real nice dry hop. This ale is off the IBU’s charts at 100+!
That is not a typo. The color is a mysterious hazy dark amber with some really
dark fruit notes. Some beers just leave that bitterness on your tongue, but you
can feel this all the way down to your stomach. It is not an ale you can drink
all day, but it is one to throw in for a taste palette change up! Blue cheese
goes beyond well with this one, so enjoy!
Seared beef with blue cheese may be the way to go with this
select brew, but here is a nice flavorful wing that compliments this nice dark
hardy ale.
Mahogany Chicken
Wings
We tried these rich flavorful wings from Allrecipes.com
Total Time: 1 hour, 25 minutes
Ingredients:
3 pounds chicken wings, split and tips discarded
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons chile sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

The IPA and wings a
super rich combo so worth exploring!
#3 Victory Brewing Company: HopDevil
By far the most affordable of the recommended ales. It is my
Budweiser of Amber Ales, by price model only, but don’t be fooled, it is so
much more deserving and is no comparison to it’s pale yellow watered down lager
competitor. It has a menacing deliciousness and a nice bity hop flavor that is
deserving of its creators name. This little gem has a 6.7% alcohol by volume
and a nice rich German malt flavor to it. It has a very smooth finish, but it
is a nice little flavor coaster from start to finish.
Teriyaki Chicken Wings
A worthy wing for a worthy brew from Allrecipes.com
Total Time: 1 hour, 25 minutes
Ingredients:
3 pounds chicken wings or drumettes
1 cup water
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

Tangy beer and wings –
Special combo for sure.
#2 Stone Brewery: Levitation
Simply incredible. This ale gem has it’s own definition of
gravity, there is none! Deep rich malt and powerful hop is our description for
it and a must have and never miss flavorful masterpiece. The Alcohol is a surprising low volume of
4.4% and a modest 45 IBUs, but there is just something about it that one
six beers is not even close to satisfactory. This beer is special and the
smoothest we have ever tasted. Well
done Stone Brewery, well done!
Malaysian Barbecue
Chicken Wings
Sweet, sweet wings by Allrecipes.com
Total Time: 1 hour, 25 minutes
Ingredients:
12 chicken wings
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon dried basil

This ale and wing
recipe is for a relaxing afternoon of football or just hanging out on the deck
while the sun goes down.
#1 Stone Brewery: Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale
This is the king of our list and another hole in one from
Stone Brewery, Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale. Stone defies you to drink it. They
even say, you won’t like it, but it is total marketing genius, because you will
again, again and again. One of Stones famous sayings, “Fizzy Yellow Beer is for
Wussies” is the truest statement for this amber marvel. It was born to be
aggressive and it’s flavor profile delivers ever bit of it. Warning: This beer
is close to $18 a 6 pack, but don’t be scared off by the price, because this is
a once in a lifetime beer that is worth every painful penny. The hop recipe is
so secret, it’s CLASSIFIED and it s alcohol by volume hits you with a nice
7.2%. It goes beyond special brewing, and if you happen to come across a bar with it on
tap slap down a hundred on the bar and just drink up and enjoy the sinful
goodness.

2 Seconds of Golf Victory or Defeat!
Welcome to the 18th Hole at Caledonia Golf & Fishing Club in South Myrtle Beach.

Caledonia Golf & Fish Club's Majestic 18th Hole |
Imagine a beautiful day in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina with
you and your golf buddy. You have been battling this beauty of a golf course
all day, and now you are on the 18th hole, starring down a
significant carry over water (very TPC Sawgrass 17th hole scary).
Now add a group of fellow golfers that have already faced this challenge, but
have had more than 2 pitchers of their favorite ale. It sets up for one of
amateur golfers greatest, “HERO” or “GOAT” moments. It is one time that you
don’t mind hitting the stray bunker shot, because if you come up short, you are
assured of hearing the BOO Birds in full force.
Caledonia Golf & Fishing Club is a not miss for sure,
but be prepared if you hit a stray ball down by the water front, because you
may find yourself in an episode of Swamp People with the gators that share this
majestic beauty.
