I can buy Big Rock at no less than four places here in the Great American
Outback. (TM - UDD) And Kokanee at three venues. The only common denominator
is "Friar Tuck's Beverages" on my city's far west side.

Sam is OK - mostly. All of their product is contract brewed. The only
brewery that is owned by them is the "home" brewery - and it's tiny.
Used only for developing recipes and "test brewing". A group of us did
the tour during a Boston echo picnic hasted by the late MLoo.
1/4 c Butter
1/4 c Shortening
1/2 c Flour
3 md Onions; chopped
1 Celery rib; minced (opt)
2 1/2 md Green peppers; diced
5 cl Garlic; mashed
2 qt Milder Ro-Tel Chopped
- Tomatoes
2 ts Thyme
1/2 ts Oregano
1/2 ts Basil
6 Fresh sage leaves; chopped
2 lb Peeled crawfish tails
- (that's what was
- available)
Hot sauce
Hot rice
3 Scallions; chopped (opt)
UDD sez: This was some good. I brought home ALL the
leftovers
Melt butter and shortening. Mix in flour and stir
constantly over low heat to make a medium brown roux. Add
onions and celery and stir over medium heat for a minute.
Add peppers and stir over medium heat for a minute. Add
garlic and stir over medium heat for a minute. Add
tomatoes and herbs. Cook over low heat an arbitrary length
of time, at least 20 min. Add crawfish tails 15 minutes
before serving. Season to taste with hot sauce. Serve over
rice and sprinkled with scallions (which I forgot).
