Brown's Waffle Week 2013

Troy resident Cornelious Swarthout waffle iron patent figure 1869

A figure from Swarthout's patent for "a new and useful 'Improvement in Waffle-Irons.'"

Waffle Week at Brown's Brewing in Troy is set to return August 19 (next Monday) and continues through August 24.

It's a celebration of Troy resident Cornelius B. Swarthout's patent of the domestic stovetop waffle iron on August 24, 1869.

Each day of Waffle Week will feature a different speciality waffle. And if you're anything like us, even you don't end eating the waffle, it's fun to gawk at the combinations each year.

Here's this year's lineup...
