This recipe makes more than needed for the tenderloin, but the butter will keep wonder- fully in the refrigerator for two weeks, allow- ing you to add instant flavour to any of your favourite cooked vegetables or meats. It also freezes very well. 2 heads garlic 10 sprigs of thyme plus 1 tsp (5 mL), finely chopped 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil ½ cup (125 mL) salted butter, at room temperature Freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). 2 Slice the tops off the whole heads of garlic to expose just the tips of the cloves, place on a large sheet of foil with thyme sprigs, and driz- zle with olive oil. Wrap completely and bake in middle of oven for 1¼ hours. Once roasted, open package and let cool. Remove all the garlic from its skin. 3 Place garlic in food processor with butter, finely chopped thyme and black pepper. Pulse until combined and smooth. 4 Place butter in refrigerator until ready to use.

Hops & Bolts India Pale Lager is a riveting beer that bolts together the best components of a lager and an ale to build an intriguing, malty, hopped-up brew. Unfiltered and constructed with five palate-pleasing hops, the result is a pithy brew with big hoppy aromas of tropical fruit, grapefruit and pine. Taste the citrus, piney flavours and be amazed at how they linger to a bready, malty finish with subtle tones of chocolate and nut.
