Sierrra Nevada Extra IPAAccording to sports writers and others in the know, Sunday’s epic rematch is predicted to be the most-watched show in American TV history. It’s also quite possibly going to be the biggest beer-drinking day of the year. No pressure then to pick two styles everyone at your football party might like. It’s not so easy when you love them all, but here are my picks. Go for IPAs (India Pale Ales) and Porters to have on hand when you’ve got a roomful of fans and friends.  For a little more game-day rivalry fun, put both out and see which one is the champ of your party.

Past, Present, and Future Blog

From the Farm: Cold-Hardy Winter Greens

Written by on January 26th, 2012.
Filed under: Farm Fresh

As we look out our windows and notice the blanket of snow forming over our yards, local organic produce may be the last thing we expect to see in Wegmans. If you are someone who strives to eat seasonally, winter greens, like spinach, mustard, and kale, should be your vegetable of choice! Ideally, they haven’t traveled far from field to fork, like the “cold-hardy” greens currently at their peak from Wegmans Organic Farm here in the Finger Lakes.
