Review: Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout

Let’s get one thing straight – I am not what you would consider a regular beer drinker. Though I am always up to try one on the recommendation of a friend or my husband. Usually I enjoy a very dirty martini or fruity drink that I created – and wine more often than beer. That aside – I have to say that Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout is one beer I will enjoy sipping by the fire pit this summer.

I tried it recently thanks to my husband’s Swedish Sailors Stew (seriously this recipe is amazing and SO simple to make!) We usually have a couple of beers left over to enjoy while it cooks and that is exactly what I did.

After spending some time getting to know more about the Samuel Smith Old Brewery I discovered that it’s is Yorkshire’s oldest brewery and served in the regions 200 pubs. A damn fine reason to make sure your passport is up to date! Bonus? This beer is brewed with well water from a well that was sunk in 1758! Having grown up on a farm that drew it’s water from an artesian well – I loved learning this little piece of info. 

Now, I have never heard of a beer being registered with The Vegan Society; but this stout (and almost all of their other products) is vegan and vegetarian friendly. *yay*

I hope you enjoy this stout and even give my husband’s recipe a try while you’re at it. (vegetarians replace the meat with tofu or a meaty mushroom). I my opinion, this is the beer that has made the BEST version of this recipe to date!

Be sure to take a look at what other beers Samuel Smith Old Brewery offers. There are quite a few that I look forward to trying. Oh, if you live in Greensboro, Bestway Grocery is the center of the universe regarding all things beer (in my opinion) and where I go exploring for new adventures in craft beer.

I can’t describe the joy this little fella has b I can’t describe the joy this little fella has brought to our lives. 😍

We sadly lost our sweet Charlie back in March to chronic kidney disease. We were heartbroken that our four legged friend of nearly 12 years finally crossed the rainbow bridge. 

Months later we had the opportunity to rescue Max. His mother had died and he needed a home...and we needed some hope for the future. 

Max is growing fast and his boundless energy and sweet snuggles have brought some much needed joy to our lives. 

He’s a #GermanShepherd / #TerrierMix and is not only fast but wicked smart. 

Even on the toughest day he makes it brighter. ❤️

Sipping @cafedumonde coffee out of my antique #NoritakeChina and #HandSewing some #AntiqueLace from @thebrandonpirece’s grandmother’s stash to mend a velvet cape is my #MindfulnessMeditation today. 

I am looking to add more #MindfulMoments to my 2021. Though I don’t have the complete set to my antique @noritakechina coffee cups - they bring me such joy every time I use them. (and I have no clue what the pattern is! help?!) 

#ThriftStoreFinds like this, that contribute to my #MindfulnessMeditation, are giving me hope for what the #NewYear can offer. ❤️
“As long as you keep secrets and suppress inform “As long as you keep secrets and suppress information, you are fundamentally at war with yourself…The critical issue is allowing yourself to know what you know. That takes an enormous amount of courage.”

- Bessel A. van der Kolk, @thebodykeepsthescore : Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

I’m close to finishing this amazing book. If you have suffered #trauma in your life I highly recommend #thebodykeepsthescore. It is helping me come to terms with my own trauma in so many ways. ❤️
Breakfast yesterday was #ShrimpAndGrits heaven! Breakfast yesterday was #ShrimpAndGrits  heaven! 

@TheBrandonPierce grilled #sriracha marinated shrimp and I brewed @cafedumonde #chickorycoffee and cooked @quaker old fashioned #grits with a pat or three of unsalted butter and @betterthanbouillon vegetable base. 

Most of the time we eat this dish out of a salad bowl. 🤤 The grits are slathered in butter,  @traderjoes sriracha sauce is drizzled over piled high shrimp, and grated black pepper #ToscanoCheese blankets the shrimp like snow. 

It’s one of my absolute favorite breakfast/brunch dishes! 

I tried something a little different with the plating - seeing as we had already eaten most of our #GrillDay portion of shrimp. 😬

I am still working on our #ChristmasBrunch menu... and I learned that this is a perfect portion size that helps us save room for ALL of our favorite holiday foods. 

What’s your favorite holiday dish?

I’ve enjoyed #HandSewing these @orange_bettie mini stockings to surprise some of our elderly relatives with treats on Christmas Day. 

If you love #sewing this is a great project to not only help you give a #handmade gift but it also makes quick work of the fabric you may already have stashed away.

Here’s a link to the pattern: http://orangebettie.com/2018/11/27/mini-christmas-stocking-in-3-sizes-free-sewing-pattern/

#HomaroCantu once said “When we think of classic #HomaroCantu once said “When we think of classic #AmericanDesserts, we tend to imagine apple pie and ice cream. However, the most classic American desert of all might be the #ChocolateChipCookie.”

I couldn’t agree more! I’ve been baking #ChocolateChipCookies to share for the last week now and it has become a much needed calming holiday ritual. 

I’ve upped the #ChocolateChips in my recipe to 3 cups and my chief taste tester @thebrandonpierce tells me it’s perfection. I hope y’all feel the same way. ❤️
I do love it when @thebrandonpierce makes breakfas I do love it when @thebrandonpierce makes breakfast. 😍

A #SausageEggAndCheese #ButtermilkBiscuit FTW!
