thirst-quenching

There’s no disputing the thirst-quenching potential of one of the Yakima Valley’s celebrated craft beers after hitting the trail.

Long prized for their thirst-quenching, sweat-stanching properties, cucumbers are a hot-weather balm all over the world, making their way into chilled soups, fresh salads and juicy sauces, or simply eaten out of hand, under the shade of an awning or tree.

The official beer of the National Cherry Blossom Festival is FestivAle, from Ashburn’s Old Ox Brewery — a thirst-quenching farmhouse saison brewed with cherries.

Saloon bans in L.A. around 1907 pushed the business of thirst-quenching to the hinterlands like Vernon, and baseball fans had only to saunter over to Doyle’s for a brew; the left field corner butted right up against Doyle’s place, and between innings, rumor held that a left fielder named Jess Stovall could squeeze in a quick beer.

Mix up a thirst-quenching trio of Coca-Cola, a cinnamon- and coffee-infused simple syrup, and sweetened condensed milk together for one ultra-indulgent bubbly beverage.
