As ski season comes to a close, there are still a number of die-hard winter sporters that will ski and snowboard until the last snowflake melts (or until the machines are turned off, depending on where you go). Just as nothing compares to the rush of speeding down a snowy mountain in crisp winter air, there is no greater feeling than cozying up to a roaring fire in your warmest apres-ski gear with a bunch of friends.
Here, we give you seven apres-ski beers to make your day complete.

While we love drinking beer and eating good food for the heck of it, we also love any and every opportunity to learn about what we're consuming - where it's sourced, how it's made, and how it impacts our society, if at all.
This weekend, a number of events across the country are combining these forces by offering tastings along with Q&A sessions, history lessons, and delicious food pairings to whet your palate for... well, more beer. There's nothing like showing off your new beer knowledge for friends and dates, though they'd probably prefer that you just finish your pint and shut up. Cheers!

Chocolate has the ability to satisfy a sweet tooth and almost instantly cure a bad day. And while Valentine's Day may be over, there's always room for dessert.
These sandwich cookies lie somewhere in between the whoopie pie and the Oreo - soft like a whoopie pie, but with the sweet cream filling of an Oreo. The perfect combination, if you ask us. However, if you prefer more of a marshmallowy filling, just swap out the bourbon buttercream for a fluff-based frosting. They're also pretty tasty with a sweet peanut butter-based filling. We used double chocolate stout for the batter, but any stout will do.
This recipe makes about 40 cookies.
2 O'Clock Tastings - February 28, 2012
When your beer is being made out of a brewing facility that's been around for over 350 years, the likelihood of a quality product is considerably high. That said, we didn't expect anything short of greatness when we sat down with a few Delirium Tremens beers for this week's 2 O'Clock Tasting.
Produced by Huyghe Brewery in Melle, Belgium, Delirium Tremens was founded in 1989, and can be distinguished among other types of beer in a number of different ways. The distinct flavor is the result of the beer being brewed with three different types of yeast, and the bottles are designed to resemble traditional ceramics of Cologne, Germany. While it has since been established that most delirium tremens sufferers don't actually hallucinate pink elephants, the brand Delirium Tremens uses the familiar symbol as their mascot of sorts. Besides, with such a high ABV in each of their brews, we don't think it'll take withdrawal to start seeing technicolor wildlife.

Leap day comes around every four years, and in case you didn't already know, this Wednesday is February 29. It's the kind of day that usually goes by unnoticed - it's not like you get a day off of work - but to the super-superstitious and those born on this rare day, February 29 is a cause for both awareness and celebration. Besides, who doesn't like having any old reason to party?
Whether you're celebrating, proposing, or doing things that you'll forget about in the morning (since nothing that happens on leap day counts, right?), give one of these leap year-friendly beers a whirl.

We love tacos. And are prone to stuffing them with everything from chilli to short ribs to leftovers. But when we have people over we don't necessarily want to hand them Monday's night takeout container with a pile of tortillas. So we quick boil shrimp in beer which is nearly as easy, absolutely delicious and impresses your friends just a bit more than leftover moo shu pork.
For this round we paired the shrimp with wasabi spiked yogurt, Asian slaw and lime zested peanuts - but you can top with whatever you like.

Sometimes the path you think is best isn't the one that makes you happy. Cue Glenn and Chris from River Horse Brewing Company in Lambertville, NJ. This was no Office Space-esque situation. In fact, the guys were doing quite well in their finance jobs, yet still feeling like they were going nowhere.
So, what's nature's remedy for capping off a long day, regardless of profession? A nice, cold beer. One day, the two businessmen decided to capitalize on their favorite thing and their chosen profession by taking over the River Horse brewery in 2007, and they haven't looked back. Who says you can't combine the thing you love with the thing you're good at? Plus, it's some pretty good beer.
