    Sweet and Stout

    With the recent microbrewery mania, beer experts have found ways to incorporate beer with almost anything — even dessert.

    Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day on March 17, Bonnie Watson, Craft Beer Cellar’s director of education and certified cicerone — a sommelier of beers — paired classic desserts with craft beers. Chocolate chip cookies? A malty German doppelbock. Cheesecake? A carbonated sour cherry beer.

    Watson said the three primary pairing goals are to complement, enhance or contrast. When tasting, first take a sip of beer. Then take a bite of dessert. Mid-bite, take another sip of beer and let the flavors unfold.

    Twenty-one Troop 707 Boy Scouts manned 21 tables as Columbians streamed into the warmth of Calvary Episcopal Church’s Parish Hall. The 27-degree weather did not deter them. Heaps of steaming pancakes and savory sausages cooked by troop parents waited to be served. The Boy Scouts, ages 11 to 17, greeted their guests, took their drink orders and delivered breakfast for dinner at the troop’s 50th Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper on Feb. 9.
