Last week my blogger’s club got a tour of the new & expanded brewing facilities for the Holidaily Brewery in Golden. And we got got unlimited tastings of 5 of their beers – and all their beers are gluten-free. Sounds awful, huh? I was really surprised – they were very good. I’d never guess they were gluten-free. And we had a 5 course dinner catered by Dedicated Bistro, a food truck that’s at the brewery about 1 day a week.
One of the courses Dedicated Bistro served us was their grilled cheese sandwich – very, very good. It had brie, apricot jam, bacon, and fresh basil. So that sandwich inspired my version – a layer of apricot jam, loaded with bacon, and a layer of brie and diced green chiles. Worth the calories! I made mine on Costco’s multigrain bread instead of white, and I left the basil out. In the photo, you can’t really see the brie. That’s because I used triple-fat brie, which melts almost like butter and disappears quickly. But it still tastes awesome!
If you get a chance, try out the Holidaily beers in their taproom, or you can pick them up at King Soopers or Safeway. #howiholidaily, #denverbloggersclub
