<\/a>Member Submission – Jason Stroble<\/b><\/h1>\nFor those that don\u2019t know me, my name is Jason Stroble and I\u2019ve been a SAAZ member for about four years now and a homebrewer since 2008.\u00a0 Recently, my wife Sabrina Stroble, took one of my homebrews, created a homebrew African Stew, and I paired it with even more of my homebrew!<\/p>\n
I call my home brewery The Dino Brewing Company.\u00a0 In my \u201cexperimental\u201d line of beers (the Paleo Discovery Line) I developed and brewed a 10%, 80 IBU Imperial Stout and named it \u201cDark Helmet.\u201d\u00a0 From my \u201cseasonal\u201d line of beers, beers I only brew during certain seasons, I developed and brewed a 7.6%, 123 IBU all Centennial Hops Imperial American IPA and named it \u201cThe Cenator.\u201d\u00a0 Both of these beers were featured in the dinner listed below \u2026 but since you don\u2019t have either of those brews at your disposal I recommend substituting my homebrew with your homebrewed Imperial Stout and Centennial focused IPA or substituting in the commercial brews Founders Imperial Stout and Founders Centennial IPA.<\/p>\n
