Another award winning lager, Old Dominion Lager took the gold in the Dortmunder/European-Style Export category in 1997 at the Great American Beer Festival, was awarded the Best Micro Brew by the Washingtonian Magazine and recognized as one of the 18 Best Beers in America by Men's Health Magazine!

Dominion Lager is the brewery's best selling bottled beer and is brewed with a combination of four types of malted barley: Two-Row Pale Brewer's malt, Carapils, Munich, and Caramel malts. The bittering hops used are Perle and Hallertau from the Yakima Valley in Washington State. Jerry uses domestic Tettnang, German Hallertau Hersbrucker, and Czech Saaz to add to the beers aromatic profile. Look for a hint of grainy and sweet malt, rich with citrus flavor and solid bitterness. This combination of malt and hops, along with a classic lager yeast from Germany, and the long, low-temperature lagering process results in a mild, smooth, flavorful, complex beer that we found very enjoyable.
Penn Pilsner Eggplant Pasta

½ cup olive oil
1 medium eggplant, peeled & diced
Salt and pepper
6 ounces smoked ham, cubed
1 cup Penn Pilsner
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
1 lb. large tubular pasta such as penne
Freshly grated parmesan cheese

In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Put in the eggplant, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 10 min., until it becomes soft. Stir in the ham, and fry 2 min. Add the pilsner and rosemary, and bring to a boil. Reduce the liquid by half. Put in the peas, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir the cooked pasta into the sauce, and cook for 30 seconds to heat through. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with plenty of Parmesan cheese, and serve.

Serves: 4-6.

Dear Murl,

I recently started a new job where I'll be away from home quite a bit. I've changed the mailing address for my monthly shipments to a (non-beer drinking) friends house. I'm worried about it staying unrefrigerated for up to two weeks. Should I buy my friend a refrigerator for my BOM shipments or will the beer not be affected by the chill delay?

Yo Suz!

First of all, let me commend you on your wise decision to re-route the service to a non-beer lover. I've seen that kind of thing tear a friendship apart. First, they blame it on the UPS driver breaking a few bottles, then shipments seem to get 'lost' altogether. A quick call to our customer service department and the revelation that the 'friend' signed for the beer is about the time when things get real ugly. We're doing everything we can to provide you with the freshest beers possible each month. Each beer featured is custom brewed for us and delivered straight from the bottling line. The beer only stays in our warehouse for 3-5 days before being packaged and sent to you. We also try and feature bottle conditioned, higher alcohol content or hop assertive beers in the warmer months as they tend to travel better. Bottom line? Put 'em in a fridge if you can, but if you can't keep them in the box and out of sunlight in a cool area (perhaps a closet or basement) until you can. If you wanted to store them for a longer period, say more than 6 weeks before drinking them, I'd push your friend to clear out 7-8 half-spent salad dressings, mustards, jams, and condiments you can't pronounce to make way for your coveted brew.

Woof!

Murl.
