What We’re Cooking | Pilsner-Simmered Kielbasa
October 15, 2020 | PorchDrinking.com Staff
Beer and sausage are a happy pair any time of the year, but it seems that fall is when they really shine as a duo. Oktoberfest is an obvious occasion to head to the meat market and peruse the links hanging behind the counter.

I could talk about it….you know. The Election. But I won’t. Some people are unhappy with the results and the road that lies ahead. Today isn’t about that, though.

So raise a toast to someone you know who has given their all to keep our country great, always.
