Cast Iron Pans Cast iron pan owners swear by them for their even dispersal of heat and non stick nature. However, iron is not as happy go lucky as other metals. Initially, the pan must be seasoned with vegetable oil in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for at least an hour. Each time you heat the pan with oil, it will season till it obtains a beautiful dark color. Don't wash off the black patina thinking it is dirty. In fact, never use soap or scour the pan or you will remove the essence of the pan. Dry your iron pan on the stove with medium heat but watch it so it doesn't burn.
Stone Brewing must be fans of AC/DC too since they named their 10th anniversary IPA after an Australian band! That was the first thing I thought and then I discovered they used four different Australian hops in this anniversary concoction. Too bad they passed up Highway to Hell, TNT and Have a Drink on Me. But in all seriousness, this is a great beer. I was lucky enough to consume this beer on tap the first time and was quite pleased with the citrus tones of their layered hop combination. Of course, I bought half a dozen 22oz bottles and haven't been disappointed. get this limited release while you still can!
