Vegan,
coconut cream-based caramel candies? Yes, please! Read on to hear more about
new JJ Sweets’ Cocomels,
and everything else new
at Wheatsville this week.
Sierra Nevada
launched a beer brewer's fantasty camp back in 2008, inviting fans from across
the country to its Chico, Calif., brewery for a two-day Beer Camp. What started
as a monthly occurrence is now held almost weekly. Under the direction of Steve
Grossman (brother of Sierra Nevada founder Ken Grossman), participants taste
beers, learn about the brewing process, shovel malts and hops, work the
bottling line, and create a unique group beer. Every year, the brewery picks
four of these experimental ales for its Beer Camp Variety 12-Packs – three bottles
each of four different styles:
Sierra Nevada Oatmeal
Stout (9% abv)
This
big oatmeal stout is midnight-black in color-with a big roast-y, mocha-like
aroma. It has a silky body from the use of rolled oats, and a round and lasting
finish. Perfect as an after dinner treat.
Sierra Nevada Imperial
Red Ale (8.1% abv)
This
Imperial Red Ale takes the intense hop profile found in a traditional double
IPA and turns up the malt. It has big aromatic hop notes of grapefruit, peach
and melon – balanced by a smooth and surprisingly robust malt body.
Sierra Nevada Imperial
Pilsner (5.6% abv)
Packing
a big hop-forward punch and bright crisp finish, this golden pilsner features a
hearty dose of “sticky,” resinous Crystal and Pacifica dry hops, which balance
the light-bodied yet complex malt backbone.
Sierra Nevada Floral IPA (5.9%)
This
unique take on the traditional IPA style pairs the bold and intense aromas of
whole-cone hop “flowers” with aromatic natural rose hips and petals for complex
aromas and unexpected flavors. 12pk, $19.99
Paneer & Queso Blanco
Do you love
Indian food dishes that have those delicious soft cheese cubes soaking up
curry? That’s Paneer! Queso Blanco is another yummy farmers’ cheese often seen
crumbled in Spanish and Mexican cooking. These cheeses are versatile and unique
because they don’t melt and can even be pan-grilled. Crusty, chewy, crazy good.
Imagine the possibilities! Use both of them as delicious and economical meat
replacements or snacks. The kit contains just about everything you’ll need to
make 10 batches (2lbs!)-- just add a gallon of milk and in one hour (plus
optional 15 min.-2 hr. wait time depending on how firm you want it) you will be
eating and sharing your very own fresh cheese! 7.25oz, Reg. $20.99
Cocomels are
a delicious, smooth, creamy and dairy-free caramel treat made with coconut milk
instead of dairy milk. More healthful than regular caramels thanks to the many
benefits of coconut oil, Cocomels are made using only the finest sustainably
sourced ingredients and organic sweeteners. Four rich, chewy varieties are
available in the following flavors:
Original - The one that started it all! Smooth
creamy coconut milk makes the Cocomel like no other caramel. A mouthwatering,
smooth and decadent artisanal treat with a delicious and unique flavor.
Sea Salt - The original Cocomel with a
sprinkle of Fleur de Sel sea salt, this Cocomel delivers that irresistible
salty/sweet combination.
Vanilla - A hint of natural vanilla gives
this Cocomel an aromatic richness unparalleled in the other flavors.
Java - Locally roasted, organic espresso beans give this
Cocomel a delicious coffee flavor.
1.5oz Pocket Packs, Reg. $3.99; 3.75oz Box, Reg. $8.99
