We are lucky enough here in the NW to have many fantastic natural resources that serve the food and  drink industry, be it hops, grapes, oysters, fruit and more. This time of year, wild mushrooms are widely available; even my local Red Apple Market up here in Beacon Hill has a huge supply on sale for a ridiculous $6.99/lb.

Charles & Rose Ann Finkel of Pike Brewing have always been big advocates of beer and food pairing, and for the fourth year in a row Pike will be participating in the 12th Annual Wild Mushroom Celebration on the Long Beach Peninsula. Join Rose Ann & Charles at the Wild Mushroom & Beer Dinner at the Shelburne Inn on Friday, October 25, where Pike beers will be paired with multiple courses featuring locally harvested wild mushrooms.

Greetings!

It is truly Fall in Seattle and festivals are in full swing. It’s a great time to come indoors for beer events and dinners. It’s wild mushroom season and on Friday, October 25, for the fourth year in a row, Pike is pleased to be participating in the Wild Mushroom and Beer Dinner at the Shelburne Inn in Seaview, WA on the Long Beach Peninsula. Better yet, make a weekend of it and join us for a Beer Lover’s Dinner on Saturday, October 26 at Kalaloch Lodge. The Washington Coast is spectacular at this time of the year, a romantic complement to the meals prepared by these talented chefs.
