The Chefs at Certified Angus Beef would like to share some great  tips for for roasting.

Certified Angus Beef also has a wonderful app, RoastPerfect. Learn more about it below.

Roast Perfect: time and temperature

A beef roast will take center stage on your dinner table, whether you’re serving family or a gathering of friends and colleagues. To ensure it’s just right, begin with high heat, then cook it low and slow.

High heat creates a crunchy, flavorful crust on the outside of the roast. The contrast of crisp exterior to a tender, mouthwatering interior is what our palates crave. As a general rule, follow these roasting tips for a perfectly prepared beef roast:

Preheat the oven to 450°. Cook the roast at this high heat for 15 minutes.

Reduce heat to 325°F for the remainder of your cooking time. Then use an instant-read thermometer to cook roast according to recipe instructions or to your desired doneness.

  • Rare (125°F, 52°C) — Cool red center
  • Medium Rare (135°F, 57°C) — Warm red center
  • Medium (145°F, 63°C) — Warm pink center
  • Medium Well (150°F, 66°C) — Slightly pink center
  • Well Done (160°F, 71°C) — Little or no pink

Millersburg Hardware Transitioning to New Ownership This Spring

WOOSTER, Ohio – December 8, 2016

Family-owned E&H Hardware Group is in the process of finalizing details to purchase Millersburg True Value Hardware, located at 70 N. Washington St., Millersburg, OH, in early February 2017. Shortly thereafter the store will transition from True Value to Ace Hardware, ultimately bearing the name E&H Ace Hardware.

Millersburg True Value Hardware is a second generation business that was founded by Junior and Barb Yoder in 1972, initially opening in a Millersburg storefront on Jackson Street. In 1978 the business moved to its present location on Washington Street. Today, the 44 year old hardware is owned by Joel Yoder (son of Junior) and his wife, Kristen. Although Joel and Kristen Yoder have enjoyed serving their loyal customers, they look forward to a new chapter as the business transitions to new ownership. They will stay involved within the community through their other business, Village Toy Shop of Millersburg. Joel will also continue his career as a Certified Public Accountant with Rea and Associates, Inc. “We couldn’t have asked for a better situation to ensure the best possible future for a hardware store in Millersburg. We found a local family-owned business that shares our values about community, family, and customer service. We are also excited that many of our staff members will be transitioning to the Ace Hardware team,” states Joel Yoder.

The Millersburg True Value Hardware will close at 8:00 pm on Friday, February 3 and reopen at 8:00 am on Monday, February 6 as E&H Ace Hardware.  Existing “house accounts” are encouraged to complete a new application with E&H Ace Hardware to continue credit benefits.

In the weeks following the transfer, product lines will be refreshed and popular store departments, including an expanded selection of plumbing and electrical, will be enhanced. The new E&H Ace Hardware will also continue to be a destination for Husqvarna products and service. A full service paint department will offer Valspar, Clark+Kensington, and custom color matching. Small engine service and repair is also planned.

“The Millersburg Hardware team has built a solid community-oriented business and we are fortunate enough to continue the family-owned tradition under the E&H Ace Hardware name”, stated Scott Buehler, President & COO of E&H Hardware Group.

Additional employees may be hired to fill the void left by the current owners. Job postings may be found on www.indeed.com by searching Ace Hardware.

The family-owned E&H Hardware Group is in the process of purchasing the Newton Falls Ace Hardware located at 165 East Broad St., Newton Falls, OH. E&H Hardware will continue to operate the store as an Ace Hardware, serving the Newton Falls community and surrounding areas.

He will also have more time to focus on his other two businesses, Falls Car Wash and RLK Enterprises. “I sincerely appreciate the many years of support from the countless customers of Newton Falls and its surrounding area. The store’s success would not have been possible without the loyal employees that stood by my side”, stated Richard.

Additional employees may be hired to fill the void created by the current owner, as well. Job postings may be found on www.indeed.com by searching Ace Hardware.

No, Great Lakes Brewery did not invent Christmas Ale….Though many wait in great anticipation for its arrival, the history (and actual requirements) for Christmas beers and ales goes back centuries to the times when our ancestors celebrated the pagan holiday of Winter Solstice. Indeed, over the centuries, the entire notion of “Christmas beer” became ingrained in the holidays as much as yule logs and mistletoe. Norwegian farmers were required to brew juleøl—yule ale—for their workers or face expulsion from their property. And throughout the 19th century, British workhouses—those Dickensian homes for the poor—broke the tedium with free Christmas ale for their residents.

Great Lakes Christmas Ale

The backstory of this iconic style is important because it establishes that Christmas/Winter beer isn’t really a style—it’s a tradition. It’s as fanciful as stockings hung by the chimney with care, or a child’s dreams of flying reindeer. It follows no criteria. Not that some rule-makers haven’t tried.  The Beer Judge Certification Program style guidelines (Category 21B) say its aroma should be “reminiscent of Christmas cookies”, its appearance should be amber to dark brown and it must taste “rich and malty.” Interestingly, the guidelines also demand: “spices are required.” However, some would point out that some brands including the hugely popular Troegs Mad Elf might taste spicy but that sensation is a product of its phenol-producing Belgian yeast strain, not cinnamon or nutmeg.

Indeed winter spice beers produced by America’s small and independent brewers embody the spirit of the holiday season and folks go crazy for them. Down in Asheville, NC, Highland Brewing Co. unveils the iconic Cold Mountain Winter Ale each November just before Thanksgiving and for the entire month it’s the talk of the town. Fans skip work on Cold Mountain Monday to raid area stores for the spiced amber brew, emptying shelves within hours or even minutes!

christmas-ale-blog-photo2

During their annual “First Pour” event in late October, the staff at Great Lakes Brewing Co. brewpub pours about 430 pints of Christmas Ale every 60 minutes for 12 consecutive hours.  That’s one pint every eight seconds.

Suffice it to say, holiday ales are highly anticipated every year and whether or not they stick to the guidelines, they are a tradition that continues to grow by leaps and bounds as more breweries enter into the fray each year, giving us beer drinkers more varieties to try and anticipate!

So whatever your personal traditions may be, raise a glass of one (or more) of these special beers and say “Cheers!” to a wonderful holiday season and a prosperous New Year!

E&H Hardware Group to Purchase Cricket Yard Equipment in Westlake

WOOSTER, Ohio – December 1, 2016

The family owned E&H Hardware Group is in the process of purchasing Cricket Yard Equipment located at 30582 Center Ridge Road, Westlake, OH. Cricket Yard Equipment will transition next month to a newly renovated space within E&H Ace Hardware’s Westlake store, located at 27255 Detroit Road, Westlake, OH.

Cricket Yard Equipment is a first generation business that began in 1979.  Owners Craig and Nan Baker began their business in a parcel van selling and servicing equipment at homes with the slogan ‘Cricket Comes to You’.  In 1981 they rented an abandoned storefront on Center Ridge Road in Westlake and later built their multi-unit retail center at the same location. Although they will have the retail center to manage, Craig and Nan are pleased to see Cricket Yard Equipment continue with Ace Hardware in Westlake.  After 37 successful years in the power equipment business, Craig and Nan are looking forward to enjoying life with a little more free time.

Cricket will remain in their current location through the end of January and will be available to assist in any sales or service needs customers may have. E&H Ace Hardware will begin welcoming customers to Cricket’s new location beginning January 30th. “Customers will continue to have the high-quality staff service their equipment needs, as our technicians will be part of the Ace Hardware team”, states Craig Baker.

With the addition of Cricket to E&H Ace Hardware, product selection and service options will expand. The Westlake Ace location will become an authorized dealer and service point for both Honda and Toro power equipment while also continuing to sell and service Stihl power equipment; Echo and Snapper brand service will remain available, as well. Ace Hardware will also continue to honor Cricket’s well-liked service discount program for returning customers. The goals of Ace Hardware are the same as Cricket: to provide helpful, friendly, and professional service to every customer.

Scott Buehler, President & COO of E&H Hardware Group, stated, “We are very fortunate to have found another like-minded family business in the community. We are excited to have Cricket join the E&H Hardware family and look forward to offering the same great service.”
