The Pike Brewing Company pairs unique ciders with delicious bites from their kitchen. Six cidermaker representatives will be on hand, pouring and talking about cider.

Special guest: Aspall Cider, Finnriver Farm and Cidery, Sea Cider, Tieton Cider Works, Wandering Aengus Ciderworks, and Westcott Bay Cider

The Menu:
Wandering Aengus Golden Russet and Pikes Cheese and Antipasta Platter An assortment of Mount Townsend and Beecher Cheeses , Salumi's Salami and LaQuercia Prosciutto with a plethora of marinated vegetables with Grand Centrals Crostini pairs wonderfully with Wandering Aengus Golden Russet.

Westcott Bay Traditional Dry Cider and Pikes Smoked Salmon-Solly's Smokes Salmon from Pure Foods in the Market is a moist, sweet and lightly smoked fish which compliments the dry flavor of this cider

Aspall Imperial Cyder and Pikes Baby Back Ribs Dry Rubbed with savory herbs and based with Kilt Lifter BBQ Sauce we chose this dish to pair with Imperial because of its sweat under currents which enhances the flavor in each bite

Tieton Cider Works Apricot Cider with Pike Bratwurst and Apple Sauerkraut Pike Bratwurst Sausage comes from a local Pike Market Vendor and staple in Seattle, Uli, of Uli's Famous Sausage. These local brats served with our house made apple sauerkraut blends well with Tietons tart apricot cider. Each bite with a sip of this cider heightens the natural sweetness of the sauerkraut

Finnriver Farm Dry Hopped Cider with Pikes Spicy Stuffed Salmon Our Alaskan Salmon is stuffed with Oregon Dungeness Carb with a nape of our homemade spicy coconut sauce. We chose Dry Hopped Cider because the floral notes and hoppiness of the cider blend well with the abundance of flavor that comes from this dish.

Sea Cider Prohibition Cider and Pikes Double Chocolate Brownie Local hazelnuts with our bitter sweet brownie topped with chocolate curls, a dusting of powdered sugar accompanied by a rich double cream sauce pairs well with the sweet tannins and bite of Sea Ciders Prohibition
