Today, I have a great show lined up.
We're going to start out by grilling out.
I love getting a big group of friends together and grilling out and here in Florida, that's
something you can do year round.
but today, we're going to learn how to make a Peach Pie on the grill.
I didn't even know you could do that.
Just check this out.
So we're hanging out grilling and chilling here Rivertown in Fruit Cove and I've got
my good buddy, and I to say good buddy.
Sarah from Hottie Dawgs.
And when I said I wanted to something grillin' and chillin', she said can I do something
different?
And I said yes.
I do more than just hot dogs.
Can I do a dessert?
And I said, on the grill?
And you said you're doing?
Bourbon Peach Cobbler.
Bourbon peach cobbler on the grill.
The sun is going down.
It's perfect.
It's dessert time.
It's after dinner.
And bourbon is involved.
So I'm saying yes.
I like bourbon.
Yeah.
I haven't found anything like any dessert yet that I couldn't add Bourbon too.
Nothing.
Especially while you're cooking.
Yeah.
Take a sip.
Sort of like wine, wine for the cook, and one for the pot.
Ready to get started?
I'm ready.
You know this really hits me in my heart like a Georgia boy.
So we have peaches.
They're already sliced.
Loving it.
Peaches, that's what they look like sliced.
The magic of TV.
Boom bam, there they are.
We're going to add a little sugar.
OK.
And we're going to have a little bit of brown sugar just to get it caramel flavor.
And Bourbon.
Got it.
And then we're going to have a little bit of corn starch.
It helps make it all together.
Make it all kind of meld together.
Give it, not too watery when you're done.
Give it a little stir.
Oh, gives it some body.
I can smell that Bourbon.
What kind did you use?
I'm just curious.
Say a good one.
It is.
But I took it from my husband's stash so I can tell you.
It kind of is.
But it's the good stuff.
Sorry!
Sorry, honey!
So we're going to put it in a cast iron pan.
You got some flour in here already.
It's nice and soft buttor too.
Make sure we add our baking powder.
More sugar.
So more brown sugar.
Can't get to sweet.
You can't.
Not with the bourbon.
Not with the bourbon.
If your peaches are over rype or just on the hint if they're really, really sweet.
Add a little bit of lemon juice just to bring out the tartness.
I know we're doing peach bourbon.
But at home I do blackberry bourbon, blueberry bourbon, whatever you might haven't found
a fruit that didn't work.
I've heard bourbon enough times to say yes.
Sure.
Yes!
So now we've got that all mixed in, and we're going to add buttermilk.
Of course, we're in the South.
So now if you want to you can add some vanilla extract to the butter.
You can add. this wound up a little bit runny.
It'll be fine.
Probably need a little bit more flour but I already did that in the other one.
I thought ahead and I thought Joe was never going to be able to wait for 45 minutes.
I'm not a patient person you know.
So what do, you do once you put this in the pan.
You turn the grill on to about 375 to 400 degrees.
OK.
On one side only.
So all your burners or only on one side.
They're off over here.
So you put it all in here so it's baking.
So there's no blame underneath.
There's no flame underneath it.
It's baking.
And we have a beautiful peach cobbler over there.
that's a pretty cobbler.
And the smoky flavor comes into it?
It does and the Bourbon comes out so nicely.
Amazing!
So we're going to cut into this.
Wish I had a better spoon.
It's almost too pretty to cut.
Do you smell the bourbon?
I can smell it.
I can't wait to taste the Bourbon.
Get some peaches up there.
there you go!
That's like a shortbread crust.
Do you like that bourbon?
It's not terrible.
That was pretty tasty.
I love pie, I really do.
One of my favorite places to go is a little place on Mayport Road called Pie Heaven.
If you missed that story, you can find it on my youtube channel and on my website.
Maybe you don't know this, but every weekend I upload the episode for your viewing pleasure
so you can always go to my website and check out the latest episode even if you didn't
catch it on TV.
Next, we're going to head over to Brewz in Atlantic Beach to have a delicious craft
beer while I talk to you about craft beer happenings.
Every week I talk about happenings and craft beer events in my TV show I Know Jax.
I'm at Brewz in Atlantic Beach and today I'm having a craft beer.
This week, it's all about football.
I can't believe the Patriots are there again, but they are.
But first, let's look at what else is going on.
Hyperion is hosting a Vinyl Record Fair.
Many of my friends who are really into music, still claim that vinyl is the way to go.
At this event, they also have what they call "turntablist workshop".
Never heard that term before.
New and use records are for sale, and it's all for good fun and great craft beer.
That's at Hyperion on February 1st starting at 6pm.
Vinyl records aren't for everybody, but how about comedy?
Every month there's a free comedy show at Veterans United Brewing.
The show features multiple comedians, each doing a set.
This event always packs out the taproom at Veterans and it's often standing room only,
so be sure to get there early!
Comedians and Craft Beer starts at 8 pm and the event takes place at Veterans United Brewery.
Underdark was a fictional setting in dungeons & dragons.
Sort of like the Dark Web is for procedural TV dramas.
But don't worry, I'm not going to roleplay or pretend to be an NCIS investigator - actually,
I wanted to talk about the beer Underdark.
It's been an Intuition Ale Works beloved annual release for many years.
The Underdark is an Imperial Stout aged in oak barrels.
I saw on Facebook that they'll have bottles dating back to 2016 for sale, so I know they've
been doing it for years now.
The chocolate orange Underdark of 2018 was definitely one of my favorites.
Now they're releasing 2019 and they're also selling some bottles from previous years.
All sales will be held through the back Brewery entrance starting at 10am until they run out
( last year that happened at 2pm !!!). The 2019 Underdark will also be available on draft
in the taproom, and I'm planning to be there for that - so if you see me come up and say
hello and tell me what your favorite beer is.
The Underdark Release is on Feb 2nd at Intuition Ale Works.
But the most important event of this week above all has to be Superbowl Sunday.
Over 100 million people watch the Super Bowl on TV, many of them because they want to see
the commercials.
What…??
That is an odd tradition, don't you think?
Super Bowl Sunday is like a holiday though.
Social media is packed with videos showing you tasty treats to make for your football
watch party.
Speaking of which, here at Brewz in Atlantic Beach they're having a big potluck party
for Super Bowl Sunday.
Brewz will bring Lobster Mac and Cheese and Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip.
Come watch the game at BREWZ, bring a dish for the potluck and have a pint of craft beer.
Local pints are $5 for the game!
May the best team win!
That's it for local craft beer news in Jax this week.
For more tasty beers like this, visit Brewz at one of their two locations.
Cheers!
I'm often out and about and I go to many of the craft beer events in town.
I love meeting other people who love our local craft beer, so make sure to come up and talk
to me when you see me.
So Mallory, if you would talk to me a little bit about what inspired you to do the film?
What inspired me to do the film was really my love for St. Augustine that really grew
throughout my my four years at Flagler.
I'm originally from southern Vermont so I hated it initially and then I really falling
over the city throughout the years and I just really kind of wanted to share that with other
people.
The film is essentially about sea level rise in St. Augustine and also why St. Augustine
is more vulnerable than some other places, just because of the historic value because
of the location.
The hurricanes when they hit us and what that did to St. Augustine is kind of a parallel
to what the future could be like with sea level rise.
The worst case scenario is pretty bad.
Some people say up to 10 feet of sea level rise which would wipe out most of downtown.
You know David Shores is already suffers a lot from sunny day flooding and high tide.
That would be gone and a lot of the things.
Much of St. Augustine won't be able to be saved.
So we just need to do what we need to do right now to make sure everything's there in the
future.
So the idea of the film was sort of the spark for interest and get people moving and doing
something.
What are you looking to do going forward?
I did show the film at City Hall.
That was a big step.
Mayor Shaver's already really passionate about it.
She's really involved.
So just getting people locally here to really see that it's a problem and see that we all
need to do something about it.
It's not something that we can just put off.
It's something that everyone in St. Augustine should be aware of should know what's going
to happen know what the risks are and know what to do.
Every week I take a look at the fun and interesting events in Jax and give you what I consider
to be the top 5 picks.
Here's my list let me know what you think at
Number five on my list is the Shanghai Circus.
I've always been fascinated by the Chinese Acrobats, and I honestly always wanted to
go and see the Shanghai Circus, but I haven't been able to.
The Shanghai Circus is coming to the Nathan H Wilson Center on February 3rd.
I know, not everybody is into Gardening, but I love it, and this is a workshop at MOSH,
so you're not going to be getting too dirty.
The class is called Urban Gardening and is part of the MOSH after dark program.
Learn tricks to keep your garden healthy and take home your own starter composting kit.
Tickets also include two drink tickets, and you can check out the new exhibit Backyard
Adventures at the Museum of Science and History.
MOSH after dark: Urban Gardening and composting take place on January 31st starting at 6 pm.
As number three I've picked a monthly event.
This is the first week of the month so there are many, but First Friday Art Walk is cool
this time of year, because it's the last week of the Nights of Lights in St. Augustine,
so I think it'll be a great time to do the Artwalk.
First Friday Artwalk takes place from 5pm - 9pm in downtown St. Augustine.
Coming in as Number 2 is the Underdark Bottle Release at Intuition Aleworks.
This is a big annual event at Intuition.
Many beer enthusiasts look forward to this one all year.
Underdark is an imperial stout aged on oak barrels.
The 2019 Underdark is available on draft in the tap room as well.
The Underdark Bottle Release happens on February 2nd at Intuition Ale Works.
I know, it's Super Bowl Sunday this week and for many of you, that's going to be
the highlight of the week and the number one thing to do.
A lot of places have Super Bowl parties going in, I'm going to BREWZ in Atlantic Beach
for their Super Bowl potluck party, so that's where you'll find me.
Bring a dish and come join me.
That's at Brewz in Atlantic Beach starting at 6p.m.
That's my Top 5 List for the week of January 27 to February 3rd.
How did I do?
Are these events you would have picked?
If you're watching me online let me know what event I should have put on my list and
which events you are going to in the comments below.
I'll be back with a new top list next week, so if you have suggestions for me, send them
to me at joe@iknowjax.com.

iknowjax.com.
I'm planning to go to Intuition for the Underdark event, but even if I love craft
beer, I don't mind having a cocktail every now and then.
That's what we're going to talk about next.
David fermentable distillery here we're going to make us a pretty interesting drink.
Talk to me about what this is.
So the first drink we're making today is called the Bloody Cosmo.
We did this for a presentation we gave down at Universal.
They asked us to be thematic with what we are making.
And we've got Halloween Horror Nights coming up.
We got to go bloody.
Now what's interesting to me is that you're using your citrus vodka.
Can you tell us a little bit about how that's made.
Sure.
So the way we do our citrus I'd guess it's pretty interesting.
I've never run across someone else doing it exactly how we do it.
And the reason is is we are using all fruit that's grown in Florida.
Yeah.
The first three batches actually we all from the distillery went down to Palatka, hand
picked it all.
The very first batch we cut and pressed it ourselves using those juice presses.
You're talking hands on.
We're using oranges, lemons and grapefruit.
All different type of citrus.
All grown, like I said, locally.
Well, I'll tell you I drink this stuff straight.
Yeah.
Is that wrong?
Not at all.
Good.
Tell me what's in this drink.
OK.
So we've got we want to kind of highlight the citrus vodka.
Like you said it's good on its own.
But we wanted to bring some other citrus elements into it.
So what we did we added a little lime juice.
This is a blood orange juice from Natalie's.
Fantastic stuff.
And then we have a Salerno blood blood orange liquor, which I think is an Italian.
Sounds like it.
I don't know, I'm Talentino.
But I couldn't tell you if it's Italian or not.
You should know.
I'm also Irish.
That just negates everything Italian.
Let's mix it up and see what it tastes like.
Alright.
So how much lime juice are we using?
So we've got three quarters of an ounce of lime juice.
One ounce of the blood orange juice.
Natalie's is great.
I think they're organic and you guys are also into the whole organic kick too.
We are.
I think we we're the first organic distillery in the state and I believe we still are.
I don't know.
We don't really keep up with this.
It's hard to keep up these days.
It is.
You know the reason organic was important to us is because I feel like you know you
vote with your dollars.
And it's supporting sustainable agriculture.
I would never.
And local!
It is local.
And I also wouldn't I would never assert that because it's organic it's automatically a
better product.
Or that it's local it makes it better.
Sure certainly true.
Totally.
It's got to be good.
We've got this Salerno.
I'm going to use three quarters of an ounce of the blood orange Liqueur. and then last
but not least.
Half a bottle.
Yep. 17 ounces of this.
That's just my suggestion.
I'm going to go with an ounce and a half.
You've got a camel back on back here.
You got stay hydrated right.
I know you guys can smell this, but I can and it smells good.
Now you got to try it.
Can I try it?
Definitely.
I got a suggestion.
Go to the distillery.
Get a little tour,see what's there because you've got everything even his stuff there
that you don't offer in other places.
Yeah, we do have some distillery only really I know I've done my research.
That's it for this week's episode of I Know Jax.
