This year Parallel 49 and Central City have stepped up to the plate in a big way with its new Craft Crossing Calendar. As of this post, we’re halfway through the calendar. So I thought I would give a quick rundown of the beers and my general impressions, with a focus on the uniques.
[Christmas on VanFoodies] Holiday Flavours at Cartems Donuterie
I've always been intrigued by Cartems's donuts, since its pop-up days. I like the various types of donut, their different texture and the featuring of seasonal flavours. For the Christmas season, they introduced a few new flavours and on this one day where I was craving some donuts, I picked up half a dozen Cartems donuts.

[Christmas on VanFoodies] Entertaining Guests with a Sparkling Rose & Recipe Pairing
Is it a holiday tradition at your home/party to pop open a bottle (or two, or more) of sparkly?

We also prepared some Quinoa Crusted Falafel Mignon, and I thought I'd share the recipe with you here as well.
