Hotel Emma, San Antonio, Texas

This past week, we were honored to showcase our honeys at a food pairing event at Hotel Emma in San Antonio.  While meeting many of the hotel staff and guests was the ultimate highlight of our adventure, the Hotel Emma herself certainly made for spectacular setting.  Constructed in 1894, the building was originally Pearl's Brewhouse, but more recently was renovated and turned into this stunning boutique hotel in downtown San Antonio.  The brewery's industrial artifacts and gadgets have been incorporated into the hotel's design, and hotel guests feel as if they are a part of living history.
Inside the hotel is a wonderful little shop, called Larder.  It's positioned in the old fermenting cellars of the brewery and carries local groceries, fine provisions, wine, beer, baked goods, flowers, house-butchered meats and Lone Star Bee Company's honeys!
We made great use of Hotel Emma's Exposition Kitchen and celebrated food and drink with roughly 30 hotel guests.  Our honeys were paired with many fine cheeses and charcuterie, roasted vegetables and desserts.   One of the hotel's many talented bartenders created special cocktails to highlight our Lucky Lime & Sea Salt honey and our Fiery Sweet Mesquite honey.  And, an equally talented hotel chef prepared a wonderful spicy honey brittle also using our Fiery Sweet Mesquite honey.   Watch for these fun recipes to be posted very soon on our website's "Recipe" page!
