Cookin’ on the Coast 2024 – Episode 07:
Driftwood Brewing Pale Ale with Huevos Rancheros
In Episode #7 of Cookin’ on the Coast, Sheryl Tilley from Liquor Plus joins to introduce Driftwood Brewing’s Pale Ale. This beer pays tribute to the craft beer movement, highlighting the bold Northwest character of Centennial hops balanced by clean, Canadian malted barley.
Driftwood Pale Ale pours a semi-hazy burnt orange with a frothy off-white head. Its aroma blends sweet orange marmalade with a hint of citrus bitterness over a subtle cracker malt base. On the palate, it strikes a perfect balance of sweet and bitter, with smooth malty notes leading into a mildly bitter, slightly dry finish.
This pale ale pairs beautifully with Chef Heidi’s Huevos Rancheros, complementing the dish’s bold flavours with its refreshing citrus notes and crisp finish.

Looking for an eggscellent dinner idea? Chef Heidi’s Huevos Rancheros is the perfect way to enjoy breakfast for dinner! With simple ingredients and versatile salsas, you can create this delicious Mexican-inspired dish anytime, whether you’re cooking for one or a crowd.
The recipe starts with soft corn tortillas warmed in a skillet, then topped with a rich homemade Red Chili Salsa made from roasted tomatoes, dried chiles, garlic, and onions. Add eggs cooked to your liking—whether sunny side up, scrambled, or poached—and finish with grated cheese. A fresh Pico de Gallo, made with ripe tomatoes, jalapeños, onions, cilantro, and lime, brings a zesty punch to the dish, while warm refried beans and optional garnishes like avocado, sour cream, and lime wedges complete the meal.
This dish is a satisfying balance of smoky, spicy, and fresh flavours, perfect for a bold and hearty dinner.
Sheryl Tilley and Chef Heidi also show how Driftwood Pale Ale, with its subtle sweetness and hops, complements the rich, vibrant flavours of Huevos Rancheros.
