Our Winter Favorites

Born in the frosty depths of Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood, this winter warmer forgoes experiments with fruit and spice for an avalanche of dark roasted malts and northwest hops. This beer will stand up to even the iciest winter maelstrom.

A truly Cascadian take on the winter warmer, at 75 IBUs this beer will appeal to those of us enraptured by the hoppy IPA. The hops are well balanced with a hefty dose of malty richness, creating a well-rounded black IPA.

Another classic PNW style winter warmer, with an elegant balance of hops and malt. The astute drinker will be delighted by notes of chocolate, roast, and caramel, replete with a warm mouthfeel and a pleasant, lingering finish.

This is one of the first beers with which I ever fell in love. Blacker than a cloudy January night in Seattle, with a creamy head, velvety mouthfeel, and fruity notes in the bouquet, this is a crowd pleaser that will ferry you through the dreariest days of winter and impress even the most skeptical of beer nerds. A classic winter ale from one of the world’s top breweries.

Clad in one of the best beer labels I’ve ever seen, this imperial red ale packs a wallop of rye, is pleasantly sweet without being cloy, and finishes with subtle notes of spiced rum and toffee.

Leeks
A mild onion flavor makes a perfect classic quiche—add leek finely chopped into your favorite quiche recipe. My favorite is: Three eggs, heavy cream, and some ham and cheese baked at 375° for one hour--amazing!

Elephant Garlic
Larger and milder than regular garlic. Roasts to perfection and makes a great spread for bread. Cover one head of garlic in olive oil and a little sea salt, thyme, and basil leaves, wrap in foil and bake for one hour and 15 minutes at 425°. Delicious!

TDE Tangerines
They have a bright, sweet-tart flavor and taste like the California sun on a dreary Northwest day. They are a triple-cross mix from a Temple tangor, and Dancy and Encore tangerines, and are mostly seedless with an easy-to-peel rind. Look for them from February through March.

Salmon Creek Pork Tenderloin
There are so many different ways to cook a good tenderloin: Stuffed, baked, seared, or cut into thick or thin slices. I think it’s especially great with apple sauce on the side. We have a bunch of recipes to choose from--just stop by our department.
