In June, Brockton Beer Company opened a new taproom at 121 Main Street, Brockton. Founded by a group of friends who became close through weekly Friday game nights, the group started partnering with other Massachusetts breweries early on and quickly established a brand and local following. Thanks to its onsite kitchen, Brockton Beer Company is heating up the Brockton food and drink scene. Signature brews include Frederick and Main (a light lager) and Ticket to Vibe (a New England-style IPA). Both are currently in distribution throughout the South Shore, Cape and Islands, and Western Massachusetts at stores and select restaurants.

AUTHOR TALK - REBELS AT SEA: PRIVATEERING IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

The James Library presents author Eric Jay Dolin for a talk about his book “Rebels at Sea: Privateering in the American Revolution.” This heroic story of the founding of the U.S. Navy during the Revolution has been told before, yet missing from most maritime histories of America’s first war is the ragtag fleet of private vessels, from 20-foot whaleboats to 40-cannon men-of-war, that truly revealed the new nation’s character―above all, its ambition and entrepreneurial ethos. Dolin corrects that significant omission and contends that privateers, though often seen as profiteers at best and pirates at worst, were in fact critical to the revolution’s outcome. 7 p.m. Tickets: $20/$10 Seniors. 24 West St., Norwell, 781-659-7100, jameslibrary.org.

AMERICA’S HOMETOWN THANKSGIVING CELEBRATION

This year’s Thanksgiving Celebration will be bigger and better than ever! The parade alone is ranked the #1 Thanksgiving parade in the nation. Plans for 2022 are currently in the works, so check back often at usathanksgiving.com.

2 cups firmly packed basil leaves

¾ cup olive oil

Zest and juice from small lemon

½ cup toasted pine nuts

¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan

3 cloves garlic

2 teaspoons Hippy Pilgrim Basil Garlic Salt

Add all of the ingredients to a blender and process until smooth. Makes about 1 1/3 cups of pesto.

Hippy Pilgrim

Lemony Basil Pesto

Shop Online: hippypilgrim.com

Toss with pasta, drizzle on pizza, mix with mayo or butter to make flavored condiments, add to cream to make a basil cream sauce for lasagna, garnish a caprese salad with it, toss with fresh zucchini and grill…pesto is so versatile it can be used on everything from chicken to seafood! If you cannot find pine nuts or find them too costly, substitute walnuts or pistachios for an equally delicious result. If you do not consume dairy substitute vegan parmesan, a TB of nutritional yeast, cashews or just omit the cheese altogether. It will still be delicious.

Resourceful Tip: After pouring the pesto into a storage container a lot of pesto sticks to the inside of the blender container. I hate to see things go to waste so I add milk or cream to the blender and process it. The result is pesto cream which I like to use as a base for cream sauces to add extra flavor with zero work. 32
