Hobgoblin Turkey
This is one of the most delicious recipes you will ever make. We use
a Cajun injector, available at Metal Fusion (800-783-3885) for $6.45.
They also are sold at Walmart and K-Mart stores. This is optional, but
it’s a great way to have a butter (and beer) basted turkey. If
available, purchase a natural, free-range bird. Don’t count on many
leftovers from this turkey!

Sweet Potato Hobgoblin Biscuits
When our children were little, this was the only way we could
convince them to eat sweet potatoes. If you want to maintain the
tradition of sweet potatoes on the holiday table, try these delicious
biscuits (just don’t tell the kids what’s in them). These are quick and
easy to make. Just boil and mash the potatoes the day before. Makes 12
biscuits. This recipe can easily be doubled.

One of the classic cream stouts, Watney’s is no longer brewed, but you can still try to recreate that classic chocolate nose with creamy texture using this recipe.
Cactus Milk Stout
Nothing like a tall, cold glass of cactus milk . . . so refreshing during hot times.
Black Pearl Oyster Stout
Despite names like Fat Spider Ale, Turkey Stout and Black Kitty Brown, this was the first BYO recipe has ever featured animals as an ingredient — Black Pearl Oyster Stout. We’ve been lucky enough to taste this beer, brewed by Joe Walton and Jim Michalk, and it’s delicious. The beer has a complex dark grain character and a slightly silky mouthfeel. There’s no strong oyster flavor, but you may detect a slight salty/briney character. For best results, use hard water with a moderate to high level of carbonates.
Dixie Blackened Voodoo Lager clone
Dark lager? Must be voodoo….Try this clone from Louisiana based Dixie Brewing Co.
