Alton Brown, Faygo Pop as Beer and Prices Rise

Welcome to the Culinary insider for October 16th 2018. I am Ryan Parker  Last night on The Cooking Channel Alton Brown brought back one of the most beloved food shows ever.   Good Eats: Reloaded aired on the cooking channel.  Alton dusted off 13 episodes of Good Eats. The new episodes of Good Eats feature material from the original episodes with reworked sketches and recipes.   Also, in the episodes are the current version of the show features a current version of Alton Brown. Who looks a bit older, but a heck of a lot healthier.   In an interview with Eater Brown said it was hard to confront seeing images of the old Alton versus the new Alton. “...the “now” me is on screen with the “old” me, which is a difficult thing to confront- your own age and mortality.  The original intent of Good Eats: Reloaded was to make some small changes to recipes and update to the way Alton likes to do things now.   He admits that after going through the episodes, there is on average 65 percent new content.   If you’re a Michigander If you like Faygo pop. If you’re an Insane Clown Posse fan and if you’re over 21 then do some Michigan breweries have fantastic news for you.   Seven different Faygo based beers are being brewed just for you. The riches are in the niches I suppose.  Traffic Jam and Snug Brewery is making a Red Pop kettle Sour. Founders Detroit is making a Scotch Cherry Whoop Whoop inspired by the Faygo classic Rock n Rye Pop just to name a few.  All seven beers will be available at the Detroit Fall Festival October 26th and 27th.  In more beer news. Your beer might be getting more expensive thanks to climate change.   Researchers in China and an environmental scientist from University of California Irvine used models of economic activity and climate change for areas that grow barley.   They are predicting a price jump of $4.34 for a pint of beer, at minimum by the year 2100.   That is all of the food, drink and dining news for today.  Remember to hit the subscribe button so you do not miss any new episodes.
