New shows to watch for this fall It’s a quandary every fall, as new shows come rushing at viewers: Which ones should I watch? With a few weeks left until the 2012-13 season officially begins, here’s some early help. The pilot episodes for upcoming series have been available to industry insiders, and – based on those first blushes – here, in alphabetical order, are Tribune Media Services TV writers’ recommendations for the ones to keep an eye on. “Elementary” (CBS, Thursdays, premieres Sept. 27): Holmes and

Watson hit the streets of New York in this sharp take on the oft-adapted tale with British actor Jonny Lee Miller as a drug-addicted Holmes, and Lucy Liu gender-switches Watson – now named Joan – who’s Holmes’ sober-living companion. The U.S. series doesn’t go for the whiz-bang visual effects of the U.K. show, but Holmes is just as irascible here, while Watson is prettier and grumpier. (Kate O’Hare) “Last Resort” (ABC, Thursdays, premieres Sept. 27): In a world on the brink of war, a U.S. nuclear

submarine receives orders to fire at Pakistan. After its captain (Andre Braugher, “Men of a Certain Age”) questions the command, the sub is attacked by a U.S. warship. Crippled, the vessel crawls to a rustic island, where the crew find themselves at odds with the corrupt mayor and at war with their own country. “Last Resort” is an addictive thriller with a hint of island whimsy, an at-times odd mix. (George Dickie)
“Nashville” (ABC, Wednesdays, premieres Oct. 10): It’s too easy to call this a country version of “All About Eve” or “A Star Is Born.” The drama – starring Connie Britton as a country star on the fall and Hayden Panettiere as one on the rise – is its own show. Unlike in the Bette Davis classic, Rayna (Britton) never takes the younger Juliette (Panettiere) under her wing, knowing how dangerous she is and not wanting to abdicate her crown so easily. (Jacqueline Cutler)

Global Lens Film Series: My Tehran For Sale
Presented by Phoenix Art Museum at Phoenix Art Museum Sunday, August 26 – 1:00pm In this riveting, insider’s perspective on life in Iran’s capital city, Marzieh - a terminally ill actress - wearily relates her desperate quest for political asylum through a series of interviews with an unsympathetic government official. Beginning with details of her doomed relationship with an Iranian-born Australian and their plan to relocate to Adelaide, she recounts her struggle to work as an actress under Iran’s current regime.
Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band Presented by Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa at Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa Saturday, September 1 – 8:00pm
“Lieutenant Dan” is the character Gary portrayed in the 1994 film Forrest Gump, a role for which he earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. As Gary began visiting troops around the world, people (even little kids) who didn’t know him as Gary Sinise, the actor, would recognize him as “Lt.Dan”. Those in the miliary also seem to identify strongly with the character. And so the name for his group was an easy choice: Lt. Dan Band! The Lt. Dan Band covers everything from Stevie Wonder and Jimi Hendrix classics to contemporary songs by Kelly Clarkson, Evanescence, Beyonce, Lonestar, the Zac Brown Band and much much more. Even tunes from the 40’s big band era. There’s something for everyone and each show highlights the musical diversity of the band, as well as the passion and energy each member brings to the stage. Whether performing for troops overseas or a local club crowd, the goal is to have fun and rock the house!

August 23rd, 2012 - August 29th, 2012
Stan: “Although lacking in clarity with enough ambiguity to make one’s head spin as the challenge of focus becomes the paramount task, this latest from writer/director David Cronenberg does present a scenario we’ve experienced recently with the current acts of violence at movie theaters and malls with the unanswered question – Why…” Grade: C
‘The Apparition’* Ashley Green and Sebastian Stan play a young couple who discover they are being haunted by a presence that was accidentally conjured during a university parapsychology experiment. Their last hope is an expert in the supernatural (Tom Felton) – but even with his help they may already be too late to save themselves from this terrifying force. (PG-13 – 100 minutes) *Screened after deadline.
‘Cosmopolis’ Robert Pattinson plays a 28-yearold billionaire asset manager whose day devolves into an odyssey with a cast of characters that start to tear his world apart while riding across Manhattan in a stretch limo in order to get a haircut. (R – 108 minutes)
Joseph: “‘Cosmopolis’ is one of the worst movies I have ever had the misfortune to endure. The new futuristic drama from writer/director David Cronenberg is so bad that there was not a single, solitary moment of it that went by when I was thinking about anything other than leaving the theater and running as far as I possibly could from it. The motion picture is pretentious and hollow, confusing viewers with a parade of meaningless monologues from actors who should have known better than to participate in this monotonous nonsense.” Grade: F
‘Hermano’* Eliu Armas and Fernando Moreno play two seemingly inseparable friends who get the opportunity of their lives when a soccer scout invites them to try out for their city’s top
AZWeeklyMagazine.com
‘Killer Joe’ Emile Hirsch plays a young man who finds himself in debt to a drug lord and, with the help of his father (Thomas Haden Church), hires a hit man (Matthew McConaughey) to murder his mother, whose $50,000 life insurance policy benefits his sister (Juno Temple). Gina Gershonalso stars. (NC-17 – 103 minutes) Joseph: “The violence is not the only thing that is incredibly intense in ‘Killer Joe.’ The performances are, as well. The actors in director William Friedkin’s cinematic adaptation of Tracy Letts’ stage play, for lack of a better phrase, kill with their performances – none more so than Matthew McConaughey, who deserves an Academy Award for his portrayal of a man whose mere presence on the screen sends shivers down your spine. Moreover, the movie will turn you off to fried chicken for the foreseeable future.” Grade: A
‘Premium Rush’ Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays the best of New York’s agile and aggressive bicycle messengers who gets more than even he is used to when a routine delivery turns into a life or death chase through the streets of Manhattan. (PG-13 – 91 minutes) *Screened after deadline.
Bet You Didn’t Know! by Stan Robinson
Joseph: “‘The Revenant’ is better than most modern-day movies about blood-sucking zombies, but it is nearly killed in the midst of its own chaos. The new comedic horror flick from writer/director D. Kerry Prior starts strong, drawing viewers into a story that is – at its heart – about a couple of guys who remain friends even after death does them part. However, in its attempt to avoid the decaying process, the movie goes hog-wild, betraying that aforementioned heart in favor of a bunch of action.” Grade: C
‘Searching for Sugarman’* Two South African fans that set out to discover what really happened to their hero. Their investigation leads them to a story more extraordinary than any of the existing myths about the artist known as Rodriguez. (PG-13 – 85 minutes) *Not reviewed.
Soundbite Spotlight The following quotes were pulled from interviews conducted by AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film columnists with talent speaking on behalf movies recently released in theaters.
‘The Revenant’ David Anders plays a soldier whose body is shipped home after he is killed in Iraq. When he mysteriously rises
Writer/Director Todd Lincoln (‘The Apparition’) By Joseph J. Airdo “Just for fun, I was digging around late at night on some paranormal
sites and came across this story about the Philip Experiment. A group of parapsychologists in the 70’s set out to create a ghost simply by believing in it enough. In the following decades, other people did their own versions of the Philip Experiment, adding new ideas onto it and using new types of technology and gear. I thought that this stuff was just so fascinating and it triggered in me a fresh way into a horror film. And so then it sort of evolved from there. “The film is very much part ‘Poltergeist,’ part ‘Flatliners’ and part ‘The Strangers.’ It was inspired and influenced by all decades and styles of horror films along with those real studies and events. We even brought in this paranormal expert as a consultant on the film. It was really important to me that it be as authentic and accurate as possible. “I just tried to bring some authenticity and logic to the story. It was my mission to stay away from all of the go-to horror stuff and keep the crew away from the habits that they had formed in this genre. I think that the stuff that is the most relateable makes for the best horror. That way, when the scare moments happen, they pack that much more of a punch because they feel like they can really happen to you.” – Todd Lincoln

‘Avatar’(2009) is 40% live action and 60% CGI. Director James Cameron originally planned for a 1999 release, but at the time special effects would have increased the budget to $400 million. With no studio funding the film it was shelved for eight years!
Director Nick Murphy (‘The Awakening’) By Joseph J. Airdo In “The Awakening,” which opened last weekend, Rebecca Hall plays an author in 1921 London who is approached by a teacher (Dominic West) to investigate the recent death of a student at his all-boys boarding school and finds her reliance on science to be insufficient to explain the strange phenomenon going on around her. “Even though I do not believe in the supernatural, I would still scare myself while writing ‘The Awakening.’ There is a scene in the film when [Hall’s character] finds dolls arranged to depict her recent past. That actually freaked me out when I was writing it late one night.

For the movie ‘Thor’ (2011) an entire town was constructed in Galisteo, New Mexico to serve as a fictional location for the film! ... continued from Page 15. to be fundamentally about. A great deal of horror films simply establish that spooks and specters exist. It was important to me that I in some way address not just that – the fact that ghosts exist – but to really try and look at the notion of why they exist. I placed the story in 1921 because there was an enormous loss of life in Britain during World War I. “There was this howling sense of grief that was in everybody’s ears. The look of the film was speaking about that grief. We are used to seeing Britain’s rolling hills full of greenery. I wanted to make that country sick with grief so that the colors are mis-recorded. The greens are slightly bluer and the whites are slightly yellower. The composition of the imagery also contains a lot of empty space. A sense of loss is the backbone of this film.” – Nick Murphy

life and embark on a road trip that may lead them towards the opportunity of a lifetime only to be chased by a federal marshal (Tom Arnold), an ex-boyfriend (Michael Rosenbaum) and a very dangerous criminal (Bradley Cooper). “’Hit and Run’ is truly an independent film, and as you say, cast and crew poured our hearts and souls into the project. Everybody got paid scale on a low budget scale movie, everybody came out to play and just had a ball. We were just cracking up and working hard, and I think that’s what really comes across on screen, at least I hope it does. The sweat and also the love of all of us, more like a troop than a bunch of actors who came together just to do a project. We initially went around town with our pitch and held off with the writing of the script, and pitched it to a couple of the studios, and of course they wanted to see a script, so we ended up writing the script at the same time. We got a lady out of Palm Springs who loved the package and she literally wrote a check so it was a very small window, and we were in production. We had about 4 weeks of prep, that was it, because a lot of it had to do with the actors and their shooting schedules on their other projects, we shot ‘Hit and Run’ in about 29 days, and it all happened very quickly!
Actor Thomas Haden Church (‘Killer Joe’) By Joseph J. Airdo “He is a fairly disconnected guy. He is one of those middle-aged men who has grown accustomed to a kind of insignificant, robotic existence that a lot of what might be objectionable sort of lands on him in such a way that he does not foresee how it might significantly affect his happiness or contentment in one direction or another. “Right there, when the whole thing is hatched, it is such a reprehensible thing to even suggest. My son is introducing the topic of murdering my ex-wife yet I am too distracted by women in a strip club. I act a little like, ‘Woah, wait a minute,’ but literally in the next scene I roll over to the idea. It is like I have already robotically moved on to whatever insignificant ritual that I go through the next day.

an event that the network is calling Corman-Palooza, Jena Sims plays a college coed who uses an experimental drug to transform herself into a popular beauty – but at a huge price. The film is a “re-conception” of producer Roger Corman’s “Attack of the 50-Foot Woman.” “I was not really thinking about the original. Actually, I have not even seen the original for 40 or 50 years. And I deliberately did not look at it before [making ‘Attack of the 50Foot Cheerleader’] because this has an entirely new story. We played this one more for humor. So my concern simply was making the best possible picture within our limits, although this is a slightly more expensive picture than most of our films.” – Roger Corman

Continuing the ‘debunking’ of the article ‘Readers Digest: 13 Things a Movie Theater Employee Won’t Tell You’ by Ilana Strauss; Brian Deveny, theater owner (since 1975) and Chairmen of the Arizona Theater Owners Association; David Ramsey, movie critic (since 1994) and President of the Phoenix Film Critics Society; and myself, a movie reviewer (since 2006) and Film Columnist with AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine, examine the next items on the list of 13… 11. Your suspicions are correct. Sometimes I sweep excess food under the seats. Movies often end every few minutes. Sometimes, three or more screenings end at the same time. I don’t always have time to clean everything up.
Brian:“These days with stadium seating you cannot sweep the popcorn under the seats because with stadium seating you’re eye-level and you can see any popcorn under seats so that is totally an absurd statement! Even if the auditorium is not stadium seating you can certainly see any popcorn under seats. At our theaters we allow ample time between each movie to be sure that the auditorium is clean. Year after year, that’s the number one complaint from the general public is ‘I won’t go to that theater because it’s dirty!’ And, a customer has every right to walk into a clean theater.” David: “That is the dumbest statement on the list. It is so false it hardly deserves my attention. Suffice it to say that theatres are considered food-vending establishments (similar to restaurants) by the state Health Departments and are inspected accordingly. If the theatre you attend is dirty report it just as you would a filthy restaurant. Theatre managers co-ordinate the start and end time of films and schedule accordingly. I know the theatres I attend always
have a small crew of people cleaning every theatre after every screening.” Stan: “On this one I’d have to say that the statement is absolutely totally false. Although some may be a lot cleaner than others, as a whole the auditoriums are generally clean for each showing. Occasionally items like the beverage holders may be a bit sticky but most are clean.” ‘Readers Digest: 13 Things a Movie Theater Employee Won’t Tell You’ by Ilana Strauss.

“I think that my character forget. He drinks, he gets high and he lives in just this incredible squalor. His priorities – or his lack of priorities and his lack of a value system – are very difficult to understand because of the things that he sort of passively lets happen in his life. These really heinous acts of passivity are what define him in a certain way as an evil guy. But he is sort of too stupid or checked out to know just how heinous his behavior is.” – Thomas Haden Church

On Sunday August 26th Vee Quiva Casino will be holding their Mardi Gras Madness Blackjack Tournament. The nice thing about this tournament is that first place is guaranteed to be $5000, with a total prize pool of $10,000. The entry fee for this tournament is only $60 and you can sign up for this special tournament any day from 10am to 6pm at the blackjack pit. Registration ends on August 26th at 3pm. The first round starts at 2pm on that Sunday. The risk factor vs reward factor on this tournament makes it a must play on my calendar. To risk $60 with a chance to take home $5000 makes it a very appealing tournament. Vee Quiva always puts on great tournaments that are well thought out and always run very smoothly. Back in the spring, Vee Quiva Casino offered FREE ROLL Blackjack Tournaments every Sunday, with 1st place paying $1,000! Pretty terrific payout for a tournament with no entry fee! All you had to do was qualify Monday thru Saturday between 10am and 6pm in a free single table tournament and be the chip leader after 21 hands of play to be seeded into the Sunday Tournament. So, when a casino offers a free blackjack tournament or adds a substantial

amount of money to the prize pool - it creates a positive expectation for the player. Whenever these types of tournaments are offered, all players should play - skilled or not. When I play positive expectation tournaments I don’t consider it gambling, I call it investing. If you play enough of these tournaments - you will win one. It is the only game in the casino that favors the player and that is why you should always enter these types of tournaments. The tournament will usually consist of several qualifying rounds, a SemiFinal, and then the Championship round. It is always a good idea to get a copy of the rules ahead of time so that you know how many hands will be played in a round and how many players will advance from each round. These tournaments are always a lot of fun – You’ll have good time even if you don’t win. I will be there and I hope to see you there as well.

15 years ago, in 1997 we celebrated many great times in Arizona. Bill Clinton started his second term as one of America’s most celebrated Presidents in history. The Phoenix Lights were seen hovering our great Valley of the Sun. The Detroit Red Wings celebrated their first Stanley Cup in over 42 years and the Phoenix Suns had a backcourt that included Kevin Johnson, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash, but what most people don’t remember is what a crazy Irishman named Raymond Timothy O’Sullivan did to change the sports bar landscape that many people would follow and enjoy! The crazy Irishman opened a groundbreaking sports bar named R.T. O’Sullivans at 1010 W. Southern in Mesa in what would become the standard for all sports bars to follow.

In this day and age, we are led to believe that all great things must come to an end... but in this case, that simply is not true. As we are all saddened that the Southern location will be closing its doors on Saturday, August 26th.... the actual truth is: RTO’s is not closing, but rather simply moving its location! As the theme of the Jeffersons said...we are moving on up to the east side!
AZ WeeklyMagazine.com
In celebration of 15 glorious years as a mainstay at 1010 W. Southern, RTO’s is planning an end of an era blow out that is intended to not only celebrate the sports bar landmark that has been in operation for 15 years, but to introduce all patrons old and new to a new era of sports bar technology that has been infused into the newest location located just up the road at 1610 S. Stapley Drive. (US 60 and Stapley). This location is the state-of-the-art prototype of all sports bars and has infused the comfort and style that is associated with every RTO’s location with over 10,000 square feet of ultimate sports entertainment as well as two climate controlled patios, more than 60 high definition big screen televisions with seating of up to 350people. This is a sports fan’s dream come true with the cutting edge of food, sports and late night fun. As in typical crazy Irishman fashion, the closing of the Southern location will be met with the craziest drink specials ever! Everything in the house will be $2 from 5pm-close, and there is a free food buffet from 5-8pm. Also included in this celebration will be your chance to reminisce the good old times with guest appearances of former bartenders and servers as well as the hottest hits being spun all night from the Valleys #1 DJ...

Make Wine Like a Rock Star! We visited 5th & Wine in Scottsdale this week and one of the wines jumped out at me… “Drops of Jupiter” Petite Sirah from the band Train. I was intrigued. Definitely fruit-forward and light on the tannins, it was a good choice for a wine to sip while relaxing the cares of the day away. The wine was produced in partnership with Concannon Vineyards and a portion of the proceeds go to charity. Now I’m on the lookout for their “Calling All Angels” Chardonnay!

By Marlene P. Baumann I’m about to enter this great debate about winemaking.
Ask for these wines at finer restauarants Valley-wide www.distinctiveitalianwines.com
Winemakers who say they make their wines in the vineyard start with the belief that the most excellent grapevines are necessary to begin the winemaking journey. They often talk about “terroir” and their love for the soil, exposures and the tender care they take in the vineyard is impressive. Generally the “made in the vineyard” folks believe a wine’s style and characteristics have sprung forth from a top quality ingredient—the result of careful oversight through nature’s influences onthe growing season. Their decisions focus on vine stock of varying ages, pruning techniques that exploit the fruit differently, mechanized farming versus hands-only field work and more. I need only look at my herb pots of basil to see how nature runs its course– one is strong and fragrant; the other is yellowing and weak. Simply put: start with excellent stock, use minimal intervention, and with cooperation from Mother Nature the result will be a high quality product. Winemakers who focus more on the cellar aspects of the winemaking process believe in the strength of their talents in cellar activities and often use the term “hand-crafted” to describe their wines. Give them good grapes and let their cellar skills carry them away—and it is indeed a skill. They promote their abilities in the cellar itself, because that is where major decisions are made about the grapes. Access to a modern wine-making facility, outstanding new equipment and technology, even the space in the cellar room itself can impact the choices they face. Some winemakers feel more like farmers; others feel more like scientists. No matter which philosophy a winemaker follows, the strict selection of the grapes going from the vineyard into the cellar is by far where the greatest impact in making a high-quality wine comes into play. A watchful eye over the grape selection process provides the winemaker with only the best of the harvest. The acidic, mediocre, or unripe grapes are cast aside. My personal belief is there is a lot more opportunity to influence the wine’s character during its time in the cellar. The choices are many: fermentation, tanks, temperature, barrel type and size, old/new, aging time, blending, and on and on. The actions taken by a skilled winemaker in the cellar shouldn’t be thought of as manipulations—it really is a talent. I like to remind myself of a bad weather vintage (say, 1992 in Bordeaux), yet great wines were still made by some. The weather conditions gave them tricky grapes to work with, they chose the best and used their winemaking prowess in the cellar to produce an exceptional wine, which I had the pleasure of drinking.

What does all this mean when the wine is in your glass? Are you a person who appreciates a sense of the weather and growing conditions the year the wine was made—a feeling that you were there? Then look for wines described as terroir-based. Are you more of a scientist at heart that thrives on what we humans can do with what Mother Nature and technology give us? Then a hand-crafted in the cellar wine may be just for you. I’m generalizing quite a bit and the debate will go on far beyond this column. And if you find a bottle that displays both the nature and nurture of winemaking, sing its praises and enjoy!

Perfect Pairing… Question to the Sommelier: “I am preparing a rack of lamb tonight for dinner. What kind of wine would pair well with lamb and why?” Answer: The first thing that comes to mind with big and gamey red meat is a big red with spice and game notes… Syrah/Shiraz. Syrah and Shiraz are the exact same grape varietal with separate names based on where it is grown. In France and most of the US it is called Syrah. Australia and South Africa call it Shiraz. This is a robust and full-bodied red that traditionally has a rich, earthy and gamey streak that is often described as cigar, tobacco and dried meats (I love beef jerky).
Phoenix Cooks! Save the date. Whatever you do, don’t miss this! One of Arizona’s most popular and well-received food and wine events of the year. On September 1st, The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa will host the 8th Annual Phoenix Cooks! event. Benefiting the Phoenix Children’s Hospital, you’re sure to fill your tummy and have a great time. What is unique to Phoenix Cooks! is the classes and cooking demonstrations. They are offering 16 classes this year taught by the valley’s best, highlighting wine, spirits, delectable dishes, Alaskan beer and more. Topics include: “What’s Hot in the World of Wine”, “Argentinean Grilling” and “Olive Oil 101” a guided tour of uniquely flavored olive oils with local favorite Queen Creek Olive Mill.
Every half hour check out the four stages for a new live interactive cooking demonstration led by the valley’s hottest chefs. Learn new recipes, new preparation tricks and tools, even how to mix the best cocktail to impress your friends.
Next, what is your preference and price point? Old world earth and funk, you have to go to the home of Syrah the Rhone Valley of France. Affordable
options look to the Southern Rhone where it is blended with Grenache and other varietals. A good Cotes du Rhone runs in the $15 to $25 range. An upgrade is Chateauneuf du Pape and is my favorite with lamb dishes. A great treat is with a Northern Rhone like Hermitage or Cote Rotie, pricey but brilliant. New world fruit and vibrancy, you have Australia and the US as the benchmarks. I love the value still coming out of Australia for great Shiraz in the $10 to $30 range. Molly Dooker and Mitolo are two great makers year in and year out. My personal favorites for a treat that is a bit more expensive include Cayuseor Bionic Frog out of Walla Walla Washington, L’Aventure or Booker out of Paso Robles and Torbreck out of Australia. Most are difficult to find, but as good as they get. Todd Brinkman, L’Auberge de Sedona
Sample tasty treats from your favorite valley restaurants and sip wines from all over the world. This year you get to be the judge! Decide who offered the best culinary creation and the most beautiful booth design so they can be declared the Phoenix Cooks! Foodie Favorite! Tickets do sell out so plan to get yours in advance. Buy online at www. PhoenixCooks.com. $75 in advance… $90 at the door (if available). Classes are an additional $10 per person. Check out the schedule and reserve your spot today!

ALASKAN BREWING
characteristics of beers that were brewed in the state during the gold rush era. From the historically based Alaskan Amber recipe to aldersmoked malts and Sitka spruce tips, Alaskan beers reflect Juneau’s local brewing history and innovation.
Next up in our brewery profile series is Alaskan Brewing. Alaskan is a major believer in the power of food and beer combinations, as well as a sponsor of the Upcoming Phoenix Cooks! Event scheduled this year for September 1st at the Westin Kierland.
Marcy and Geoff were drawn to the beauty and adventure of Alaska, but finding a livelihood that would allow them to stay was a challenge. “Why not start a brewery?” a friend suggested. Other than the extreme financial and logistical challenges of brewing beer in the Last Frontier, they couldn’t think of why not.Maybe the idea wasn’t so far-fetched. After all, Geoff was a chemical engineer and a homebrewer and was married to Marcy, an adventure-seeking accountant and aspiring bush pilot.
Alaska has a rich history of brewing. From the explorers of the 1700s through the Gold Rush, many a thirsty Alaskan, or visitor, has been able to enjoy locally made beers.In 1986, 28-year-olds Marcy and Geoff Larson reignited that tradition when they opened the Alaskan Brewing Company, the 67th brewery in the country and the first brewery in Juneau since Prohibition. Alaskan beers reflect many of the same

Together they brought a unique skill set to the task of opening a brewery in Alaska.While researching brewing in Alaska, Marcy unearthed shipping records from Douglas City Brewing Co. (1899-1907) that listed ingredients for its popular beers and a newspaper article that described the way it was brewed. Geoff homebrewed a batch of the Gold Rush-era brew and they could see what made it so popular. That beer is now known as Alaskan Amber. In December 1986, Alaskan Brewing Co. officially began operations when Geoff, Marcy and 10 volunteers spent 12 hours hand packaging the first 253 cases of Alaskan Amber for distribution in Juneau, Alaska. From that very humble beginning, Alaskan Brewing Co. has grown to become the most award-winning craft brewery in the history of the Great American Beer Festival and expanded distribution to 12 western states. Alaskan is most known for their flagship Amber Ale. Amber has always been a bit of a catch all name for beers of a certain color, and that is certainly true with this one. The actual style is an Alt beer. The name of this beer style comes from the German word “alt” meaning “old”. This refers to the aging that alts undergo since they ferment more slowly and at colder temperatures than most ales. Slow fermentation helps condition the flavors in Alaskan Amber, contributing to its overall balance and smoothness. Alaskan’s version of this classic German style is richly malty and long on the palate, with just enough hop backing to make this beautiful amber colored “alt”
AZWeeklyMagazine.com
style beer notably well balanced. Amber is not the only brand they are known for as they make an outstanding IPA and as well as their own take on the classic Belgian Wit, called simply Alaskan White. Seasonal releases are another highlight for this brewery. Summer Ale is based on another German style, Kolsch, which originated in Cologne. Alaskan Summer Ale balances a softly malted palate with the clean freshness of hops. In the tradition of the style, neither overpowers the other. Both hops and malt come together to refresh and renew the palate. The straw-gold color and easy drinkability are an enjoyable way to celebrate summer. Winter Ale is anxiously awaited each year. Brewed in the style of an English Olde Ale, this ale balances the sweet heady aroma of spruce tips with the clean crisp finish of noble hops. Its malty richness is complemented by the warming sensation of alcohol. That’s right, spruce tips. In a tradition of Alaskan brewing that dates back to the seafaring adventurers of the 1700s, Alaskan adds spruce tips to this beer. The unique flavor the spruce provides is one of the things that make this a special beer. Recently Alaskan has added a third seasonal. Brewed for the spring, Black IPA is a new beer experience created from a combination of traditional beer styles. Alaskan Black IPA has the appearance of a porter or stout but combines the roasted malty characters with the refreshing flavor and bright aroma of an American IPA. Alaskan also offers specialty beers.
So, what does all this have to do with Phoenix Cooks!? Well, these guys are located in a state that has some of the most amazing culinary opportunities around. Think of big Alaskan King Crab, or amazing Salmon, or Halibut, or any of the multitude of amazing foods that are associated with this state. Alaskans enjoy their food, and they enjoy good beer with their food. The brewery is no different, embracing food paired
with beer, and cooked with beer. They offer their very own cookbook as well as hundreds of recipes using their beers on their web site. They have partnered in the past with The Deadliest Catch, a reality television show focused on the life of Alaskan crabbers. This isn’t about going down to the beach and throwing a chicken neck on a string in the water…this is the real thing.
BEER! SECTION
Perhaps one of the most collected and cellared beers in the country is Alaskan Smoked Porter. Based on the German Rauchbier, smoked beers were virtually unheard of in the United States until Alaskan released this style in 1988. Using select malts carefully smoked over Alaskan Alder wood, this beer is hearty and bold, yet smooth and highly drinkable. This is a beer to buy a case of, and enjoy one each year to see how the flavor matures. Other specialty beers in the Alaskan arsenal include the Pilot Series. This series gives the brewers a chance to really spread their wings and get creative. Past entries have included Raspberry Wheat, Birch Bock, Baltic Porter, Perseverance Russian Imperial Stout and Barley Wine. Alaskan has also created their Rough Draft series of beers brewed on their 10 barrel system and offered only in Alaska…until now. Alaskan has decided to brew bigger batches of certain favorites in the Rough Draft series for draft only releases in the rest of their distribution territories. The first of these, Free Ride American Pale Ale is in our market now…and its spectacular.
Anyway, given their love of food, it is only natural that they are the only beer sponsor of an event that will, as advertised, “Ignite your Appetite.” Phoenix Cooks! is a colorful landscape of ingredients, products, talents and passions designed to intrigue the palette and zest for culinary experiences, while supporting Phoenix Children’s Hospital. What can you expect if you attend as one of more than 3,000 Valley food and beverage enthusiasts enjoying a culinary wonderland this Labor Day at the 8th annual Phoenix Cooks!? Taste, sip, and socialize with more than 50 of the best local chefs and restaurants providing unique delicacies found exclusively in our backyard. With more than 30 wine, beer and mixology sampling booths, Phoenix Cooks! will also quench your thirst. Learn from the experts through Phoenix Cooks! cooking classes to become a master chef at home. Watch the experts as they prepare their specialty dishes live and compete in duels, all heating up four cooking stages. All this takes place on Labor Day weekend at the Westin Kierland.

Arizona Craft Beer Lovers Group ONE Year Anniversary
Hello again craft beer lovers and friends. This week was going to get us back into reviewing beer but I must tell of an event that took place over the weekend. The Arizona Craft Beer Lovers FaceBook Group held their one year anniversary party on Saturday and boy what a night! First off there was plenty of great beer with five different Cask ales on offer including Hazed & Infused ale, dry hopped with heather tips and Mojo IPA, dry hopped with Simcoe hops to name just two. Beer Representatives from Lagunitas, Boulder Beer, SanTan Brewing, Sonoran Brewing, Hof Brau & TAP IT Brewing were all on hand to chat, hand out tons of SWAG and have a beer or three themselves. We were even blessed with appearances from Jess Harter of Mouth by South West and Rob Fulmer, President of the Arizona Society of Home Brewers.
Check out where to enjoy and purchase these local brands on “Beer Spy� at www.worldclassbeer.com AZWeeklyMagazine.com
Having said this, my favorite part of the evening was just watching the people. The turnout for this event was huge yet everybody was relaxed, chatting, laughing and having fun. A TRUE PUB ATMOSPHERE, the likes of which I have never seen here before in Arizona. No elbow to elbow uncomfortableness, no loud music, no bad attitudes and no headaches. Instead, a large group of likeminded people very much into the matters, conversations and beer at hand were getting along like family. I saw many familiar faces welcoming new ones into the fold and heard conversations covering everything from recent events and new beers to home brewing and new local craft brewery openings. Gentle cheers, glasses clinking together, laughing, talking and all smiles were the order of the day. Me, I was all smiles too. Until next week, Cheers!

“Let It Come To You” I tried out a new sushi place, which I have not done for a while now. Sushi Station Revolving Sushi Bar is actually really awesome. The sushi is on colored plates with a top on it and rotates the entire restaurant. It does not matter where you are sitting in the restaurant, the sushi will make its way to you, and you can choose whatever you like that comes your way. The plates are black, yellow, blue, purple, or white, which indicates the price. Everything is 5 dollars or less, not on happy hour. The sushi on happy hour starts at $1 and goes up to $4.50. The plates are fifty cents cheaper than usual during the happy hour, which is Sunday through Thursday from 3pm-5pm and 3pm6pm for drinks. I went there and had a caterpillar roll, a vegas roll, a seaweed salad, glass of wine, AND a beer and it was only $12!!!! The rolls are constantly being prepared to refill the empty spots from you grabbing whichever plate you would like. At the end they add up your plates with the color and there is your bill. It honestly is a really fun experience and fun to try sushi in a different way. 20910 N. Tatum Blvd #150, Phoenix, Arizona 85050

BIG-TIME COLLEGE FOOTBALL…IT’S TIME TO “THINK RIZONA”
T
he University of Arizona is committed to changing the way people “think” about Arizona football. It started with the hiring of Rich Rodriguez, a proven winner and one of the true innovators in college football. Known as the inventor of the spread offense, Rodriguez has a philosophy that “huddles are a waste of time” which will be demonstrated with an uptempo style of play. Rodriguez is changing the culture of the program and getting Wildcat fans to believe isn’t not a matter of “if” Arizona will win a Rose Bowl and National Championship, it’s a matter of “when.” This cultural shift is a process, and won’t happen overnight, but one thing is for sure, the journey is going to be an entertaining ride!
INVEST IN SUCCESS
The time is now for all Arizona Wildcats fans, especially those in the Phoenix area, to invest in future success. In addition to the new coaching staff, the University of Arizona is showing their commitment to building a championship football program with a major upgrade in facilities. Construction on the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility, a state-of-the-art football complex, is underway. This facility will greatly enhance fan amenities, and will improve the ability to recruit and train elite student-athletes. Set to open in 2013, reservations for Club Seating at LowellStevens Football Facility and new lower-bowl north end zone seats are already being accepted for current Wildcat Club members and season ticket holders.

It’s impossible to select one of Chan’s most dangerous stunts because there are so many! He is famous for performing all his own stunts and is a source of inspiration for many modern day actors who now do the same. As skilled as he is, Chan is no stranger to injuries sustained during filming on various sets. While making Police Story he received cuts, bruises, seconddegree burns and almost paralyzed himself. In Project A he nearly broke his neck in a freefall. He cracked his head open so badly in Armor of God
SUPER DUPER BRAVE…. Or Super Duper Dumb? You be the Judge! Moving forward with RUSH, a closer look at ten of the most dangerous stunts ever successfully performed in the history of man-kind by the bravest and most daring of men. Or perhaps,
R
that he bled from the ears! One of the bravest stunts he must have ever performed though was on the set of Who am I? He slid down the side of a 21-story building (that was slanted at about 45 degrees) in a bid to escape the bad guys. Talk about immersing yourself in the role! Had that stunt gone wrong Chan would surely have met his maker.
individuals missing a chromosome or two, with too much time on their hands. We’ll leave that up to you. One must ask themselves however, if the tables were turned, would you have the “marbles” to set out to conquer any one of these death-defying, hair-standing, jaw-dropping feats?

The Trespass America Festival featuring Five Finger Death Punch, Killswitch Engage, Trivium, Pop Evil, Battlecross, Emmure and God Forbid will be hitting Comerica Theatre on Sunday August 26th. God Forbid has been creating new wave American Heavy Metal with pummeling breakdowns and clean melodies, for almost 16 years. They constantly raise the bar and as a result they have joined many other elite bands at Ozzfest in 2004 and Mayhem Festival in 2009. They are one of the groups leading the way in the New Wave American Heavy Metal era. The band has just released Equilibrium in March. Emmure aren’t afraid to put themselves out there and their music reflects it. Their straight-forward raw lyrics, stage presence and heavy metal breakdowns, is what really connects them with their fans. They have a very active and energetic live show. With the April release of Slave to the Game, they look to add even more songs to their exciting live shows going into this festival. Comerica Theatre is located at 400 W. Washington St. in Phoenix. Visit www.livenation.com for details and tickes.
