The Cellar and the Pantry Blog

The topic of this month's installment of The Session is the beer cocktail.  This seemed like the perfect excuse to combine two parts of this blog's mission statement by mixing home brewed beer with something from my edible garden. 

The timing was a bit of a problem, however.  In April, my garden was producing very little, except for some fall-planted onions and garlic, some very small radishes, and a little bit of spearmint.

 Then I realized that the deadline for submission was a day before the first Saturday in May, the traditional day for the running of the Kentucky Derby.

So my mission was clear: I would use my homegrown mint to develop a beer version of the Derby's signature cocktail.  I set out to create the Beer Julep.
