Baked Beer from Happy Hour Confections

Every true Beer Geek has attempted to make a stout chocolate cake at least once. (How did that work for ya?) At a bakery in Roswell, Happy Hour Confections is going beyond just adding beer to their recipes. This culinary genius has created tempting treats that highlight the distinct flavors of the featured beer!
During my visit to the bakery, I was introduced to a few delightful treats ..

Your Black Heart Espresso Stout Brownies: All the amazing, rich flavors of O'Dempsey's Your Black Heart Russian Imperial Stout in both the brownie and the ganache topping.
Vanilla Porter Cupcakes: Breckenridge Vanilla Porter baked inside, filled with a touch of sea salt and Vanilla Porter caramel filling, then topped with buttercream frosting.
Lemon Hefeweizen Cupcakes: Cake and buttercream frosting, with a refreshing taste of lemon, featuring Mother Earth Sunny Haze Hefeweizen.
Honey Orange IPA Cupcakes: The zesty hop flavors of Odempsey's Inukshuk IPA paired with fresh orange and honey in the cake as well as the buttercream frosting.
Dark Chocolate Stout Truffles: OH YES! Ghirardelli dark chocolate ganache infused with O'Dempsey's Your Black Heart Russian Imperial Stout topped with cookie crumbs.
I didn't sample, but sounds amazing ..
Scotch Ale Cheesecake: A new York style cheesecake that has been infused with Monday Night Brewing’s Drafty Kilt. It’s topped off with a Scotch Ale Raspberry Sauce.


My most pressing question was, "How do you find your inspiration?".

Now, I know.

Healing4Heroes

Healing4Heroes has dual purposes in that it serves the community by helping military personnel and veterans as well as local animal shelters by rescuing suitable dogs. Our military personnel and veterans move forward, living more productive lives after being wounded both physically and/or mentally with the assistance of service animals. The lives of unwanted shelter dogs are saved by becoming trained service companions. Service dogs are free of charge to the veteran.

Red Brick Brewing Company

Red Brick Brewing, founded on September 29, 1993, was originally known as the Atlanta Brewing Company. Red Brick is the oldest, operating craft brewery in the state of Georgia, and we have a proud history of brewing award winning beers over the years. Our first location was a quaint "Red Brick" building on 1219 Williams Street, in the heart of midtown Atlanta. In 2007, the growing demand for Red Brick beers required us to move to our current Atlanta location on Defoor Hills Road. Since then we have expanded our distribution to 8 states across the southeast.
