September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and because we care about your health, dear reader, we are disclosing our super top secret muffin recipe. A recent study conducted at MD Anderson indicates that flaxseed may have a role in cancer prevention. In particular, prostate cancer is linked to testosterone, and the lignans in flaxseed may reduce testosterone levels. Flaxseed is also chock full of fiber, omega 3 fatty acids and B-vitamins. These muffins (adapted from this recipe) are a tasty way to get more of the tiny cancer fighting seeds into your diet, even if you don't have a prostate. more ›
Update: Divine Reserve 9
To be precise, Divine Reserve No. 9 will be a Pumpkin Imperial Stout. And on our part, to be honest, Houstonist has not found a pumpkin beer we've liked, but an Imperial Stout seems like as fine an approach as we can imagine. We'll toast its release with a hearty... well, Pumpkin Imperial Stout, of course.
You can stop holding your breath. Our good friends over at Saint Arnold have clued us in as to what the next Divine Reserve will be. As one reader correctly postured in our previous update, it will contain pumpkin. You can see the evidence here:

Saint Arnold Announces DR9
Anybody want to take a guess as to what it'll be?
Despite them brewing the biggest Divine Reserve batch yet, our dear friends at Saint Arnold ran out of it pretty darn quick. Divine Reserve #8 was a Scotch ale, and if you were one of the lucky few then you managed to get your paws on some, or at least found it on tap somewhere.
The Divine Reserve's are a rare breed - short-run batches of single brews - hence the name. We were content to settle for a pair of pints and wait some time for the next incarnation, so imagine Houstonist's surprise when we opened the latest Saint Arnold newsletter to find this:
We are brewing Divine Reserve No. 9 next week for release in November or December. It will be unlike any other Saint Arnold beer we've ever made! Thanks for your support!
Anybody want to take a guess as to what it'll be?
Houstonist is excited about the end of summer, and not because it means we'll get a break from the heat soon. We're natives, we can take it. Nay, we are excited because it means bumper crops of heirloom tomatoes popping up everywhere. Heirloom tomatoes are open-pollinated varieties that have been developed and passed down through generations of family farmers. These cultivars, as they are known, are selected for their desirable color and flavor. The varieties available range from green to purple, acidic to sweet and smoky. We mixed several cultivars in a salad with a minimal dressing, as these tomatoes hardly need any flavor boost. more ›
