This is one of my favorite times of the year in the Bay Area. Waterfalls are flowing, and Marin Headlands is looking very green these days, but more so than that, mustard is peaking in Sonoma/Napa!
Drink/Dish of the week…
Every week, I will highlight either a specific drink or specific food item at a bar or restaurant, or cafe. Check out past posts for previous recommendations. This week’s recommendation is a limited offering from Monk’s Kettle via Dieu De Ciel’s (Montreal) Milk Stout variant of their infamous coffee stout beer - Peche Mortel.
During beer week last week, Monk’s Kettle was one of a handful of establishments across the world to host this brewery’s beer release. With 5 variants of Peche Mortel, there are several other options to enjoy including a bourbon barrel-aged variant, Columbian coffee variant, Mexican spiced variation, and of course the original style.
If stouts aren’t your thing, they have lots of other beers (most recently Portland’s Great Notion Blueberry Muffin sour beer). Lots of great bites to enjoy here, including baked pretzels with beer cheese and of course, their burger. Cheers!
