Your Grampa Knew What's Up, Cast Iron!
One of the great things about cast iron is its darn near indestructible which is something we can really appreciate at brute outdoors. Just like our coolers, cast iron cook wear is built to last a really long time. In fact my favorite skillet was made sometime in the 40's. This durability also allows you to cook with them just about anywhere. From ovens to cook-tops to camp-fires, they're great for any situation. This durability is derived from their thick cast iron walls which also allow them to distribute heat evenly and retain it for longer then most. Its important to give it enough time to heat up before cooking, five minutes on low-medium heat should be sufficient for most situations.
In this brutes opinion cast iron is the only way to cook. Do yourself a favor next time your rummaging through a garage sale and come across a dirty old skillet. Look past the gunk and rust and see the potential for your new favorite cookware.

Microbrew Goodness
Every now and again I like to focus on another local business that has peaked my interest. In a continuation from my last blog I thought I’d stick to something near and dear to my heart, Beer. Since the early 90’s America has actually seen a pretty steady decrease in beer consumption as a whole. While the mega breweries have taken a hit, Microbreweries seem to be taking off. American craft beer is in the midst of a renaissance and has increased its foothold over the past. This is one example that consumers are shifting from quantity to quality goes to show that passionate american entrepreneurs can thrive in a world of corporate giants.
Recently I had the opportunity to take a tour of one of our local microbreweries. Rahr & Sons Brewing Company founded here in Ft. Worth is the perfect example of this thriving industry. They have more than doubled their brewing capacity, from 2000 to 5000 barrels per year, and won fifteen nationally recognized awards since opening in 2004. They offer five terrific year round brews, including one of my personal favorite the “Ugly Pug”. In addition they also produce some great seasonal brews like their “Winter Warmer” which also happens to be one of my personal favorite. It’s a traditional English Style Dark Ale and would make the perfect addition to your upcoming holiday get together.
If you are looking for a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon I highly suggest taking one of their brewery tours. For $10 you get a tour of the brewery and a Rahr & Sons pint glass. If you are 21 or older you are welcome to several samples of their current selection of beers. Tours are offered Wednesday from 5-7:30 PM and Saturday from 1-3PM.
So next time you’re in charge of providing the adult beverages for a get together with your family or friends, fill your Brute Box with some Rahr and you won’t be disappointed.

FOOTBALL AND BEER, A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN
This year in record numbers Americans will be watching our new national pastime… FOOTBALL!!!! Some pledge their allegiance to their favorite alma mater while others prefer the pageantry of the NFL. But science has proved that red blooded American brutes just cant get enough huck it chuck it football. Not all teams are created equal though. I hope you are one of the lucky ones who the football gods smile down upon and victories and playoffs come easy. Unfortunately for me, I’m a life long Cowboys fan and the last two decades have been mired in mediocrity. Its not all bad though because it gives me an excuse for one of my other passions…. BEER!!!
In the words of our forefather Benjamin Franklin “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” While some will drink to celebrate victory I find it helps me cope with the fact that the Cowboys just ain’t that good. Lucky for us the American beer industry is in somewhat of a renaissance. While Budweiser, Miller, and Coors still dominate the market, a huge variety of microbrews have sprug up in recent years. And whether you prefer pilsners or porters or anything in between one thing we can all agree on is they are best when ice cold. Here at Brute we designed our coolers on two principals, durability and ice retention. I guarantee our cooler will keep your beer of choice colder for longer then any other cooler on the market. From rowdy tailgates to backwoods barbeques the Brute Box is right at home in any environment.
