Red Ale-Braised Chicken with Pumpkin

Red Ale-Braised Chicken with Pumpkin

Serves 8-10 people

 

What are Red Ales? According to The Original Craft Beer Club, “Red Ales, unlike American Amber Ales, use specialty roasted malts that create a unique complexity within the finished beer, give it a sweeter, butterscotch or caramelized flavor, and allow it to achieve the reddish color”. These Red Ales don’t get enough attention – compared to other notable styles. We thought that needed to change. Thanks to the roasted barley in the brewing process, which gives the beer its red color, it pairs beautifully with the roasted winter vegetables. It’s a delicious meal for autumn and another beautiful example of “Beer meets pumpkin,” but this time, instead of pumpkin in the brew, it’s in the braise.

 

Ingredients

1 whole, hormone free chicken – 3 to 4 lbs
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 sprigs rosemary
4 sprigs thyme
4 sprigs parsley
1 pint red ale, such as St. James’ Irish Red Ale
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp paprika
1 whole winter squash of your choice, Kabocha or Sugar Pumpkin are great choices
1 large yellow onion
4 ribs of celery
4 cloves of garlic
2 small dried chilies like Pepperoncini

 

Directions

  1. Cut up the chicken in 10 pieces – two drumsticks, two thighs, four from the breasts and the two wings and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season them all over with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  2. Prep your vegetables: The onion should be in a large dice and the celery should be chopped in large chunks as should the pumpkin. The garlic should be peeled and smashed with the heel of your palm or with the help of a large spoon – just to bruise it a bit and release the juices inside.
  3. Sear the chicken pieces on all sides in a cast iron pan with olive oil. The heat should be kept at medium-high. Don’t worry about cooking the chicken through, we’ll braise it the rest of the way. Move the chicken pieces to an oven safe casserole.
  4. Leave the rendered chicken fat and olive oil in the pan. Swirl the smashed garlic, the chilies and the hard herbs (rosemary and thyme) through the fat. No need to pick the herbs – the whole branches can get put in the braise and the stem can be pulled out later.
  5. Swirl the vegetables through the fat next (keeping the heat medium high), in batches, no reason to cook them through, just to pick up a little of the caramelization from the chicken. Season the vegetables with salt and add them to the casserole. Add extra olive oil as needed during this step.
  6. Add the sautéed vegetables to the casserole along with any remaining pan drippings (probably most of them will have absorbed into the vegetables). Add the pint of beer to the pan and braise until the chicken is done (165 degrees F) – about 30 to 40 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley, chopped or simply picked and serve warm. Enjoy!

Girly Drinks, a James Beard award-winning book by Girly Drinks, a James Beard award-winning book by Mallory O'Meara, sets out to tell the history of women in alcohol through fifteen individual stories, the content is even richer than advertised. As we ricochet around the globe, it’s impossible not to be in awe of O’Meara’s no-stone-unturned research, diving into drinks cultures as diverse as ruou in Vietnam, omaongo and oshinwayin Namibia, and early Japanese sake (kuchikami) – all produced by women.

I am sorry to our beer community and our queer com I am sorry to our beer community and our queer community. I made a mistake, and I’d like to make an apology.

Beer is for Everyone received an email a few days ago, and I jumped to conclusions about its meaning based on my own lived experiences.

As a person who identifies as a womxn, specifically a non-binary demi female womxn, I was defensive when I read the aforementioned email. Because of my own experiences of being invalidated and attacked, I took it to mean that the person was anti-queer.

However, I never followed up to find out a deeper reason why the sender said what they did. It’s not an excuse, but it is a reason - I get messages like this all the time and are usually very much racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, and the list goes on. So, I tend to just ignore them.

But, a friend brought it to my attention that they were confused as to why I used a word that can be seen as problematic.

After much discussion, I realized I wasn’t as clear as I needed to be. And, my assumption could have hurt someone.

I also needed to be more aware that just because I use that term to identify, I should have acknowledged that it, perhaps, should not be used by others, at least not if they don’t personally identify or have consent.

Identity politics are incredibly complex and ever-evolving. And, even though I consider myself well-versed and well-lived, I am wrong very often. So, I am truly sorry if I hurt anyone.

I will be following up with a longer post online at a later time once I can decompress. But, for now, I want to give this apology with my sincere sadness for any confusion or hurt that I may have caused.

In response to the events transpiring in the world In response to the events transpiring in the world, we thought we’d share this reminder: Beer is for Everyone. All of us; not some of us 🍻

We received a message from someone saying, “What a great idea and group! I was ready to support until I saw the use of the word “womxn”. Sorry…” 

So, in case you didn’t know, beer is for everyone! And, we unequivocally mean it.

Beer is for…

Beer is for Everyone

And, to celebrate our love for our diverse, intersectional community, we are doing a surprise PRIDE drop. 

But, it’s not June. How could we be releasing Pride merch? Well, guess what, Pride is 365/24/7 here 🌈 As it should be. 

Cheers! Stay tuned for much more - We might be making this a double drop special. 

Mark your calendars for 3/31 at noon PST on Transgender Day of Visibility- As a direct response to the anti-trans, anti-queer legislation and rhetoric surrounding our nation, we combat them with awareness, advocacy, and radical joy.
