20th Anniversary Bag Makes an appearance at the Summit at Snoqualmie

Our traveling correspondent took a quick pic of our anniversary bag at the East Summit (Hyak) Lodge at the Snoqulamie Summit this weekend….no doubt holding some intrepid cross-country skiers gear while he/she was traversing the 120 inches of snow in the mountain pass.

Cheers!

Pegasus Coffee House Commercial

Erin Fredrichs produced this commercial for us from a course offered by BITV, before its unfortunate demise. Part of it is now playing at the Bainbridge Athletic Club. The full version can be found by clicking on the link above.

Outside the Pub's Window is a Wintery Landscape

Puff up those feathers and stay warm. Our healthy feathered neighbors act a little less plussed than us about today’s snow and wintery weather. You can always tell when it has snowed, though, as the Robins in particular eat all the berries that may be left on any of the holly trees.  Having grown up in snow country, I’m not used to seeing Robins in the snow as they usually migrated south for the majority of the cold winter. Regardless, just a reminder to relax, take it easy, fluff up your insulation and continue on, I suppose. Ma and Pa Mallard duck, on the other hand, seem content to hide their eyes and sleep the day away.

What's all the fuss?

New Wines Taps installed At the Pub

Wine on tap isn’t just a clever novelty scheme — its better for the environment, and keeps wine fresher, making sure the last glass from the keg is as good as the first. Better yet, by ditching bottles, corks, labels and related production costs, wine producers save as much as 25 percent.

“Ultimately, the result is that the consumer is able to get a better glass of wine for less,” states Frank Piccola of Piccola Wines, in Woodenville http://piccolawine.com/ .

Kegged wines are much like beer — the primary difference being that nitrogen replaces a carbon dioxide-and-nitrogen cocktail as the space-filler in the kegs.

Jocelyn Waite, owner of the pub, states “This type of system has been around for a long time, but the wines weren’t very good. Now the focus is on putting high-quality local wines into kegs. The pub is thrilled to be able to be the first in Kitsap to offer kegged wine to our customers.”

Hoping you and your family have a joyous holiday season.

The Pub's Mary's Makin Bakon

The pub has launched a new Hair o’th’ Dog Weekend Menu featuring Portland distilled Bakon and Hot Monkey Vodkas. “Like a whole meal in a glass”… says weekend bartender Dana Cuykendall. “Its just in time to nurse those headaches from the previous nights holiday celebrations.”

The Watercolor Group adds final touches to its Show

The group which meets regularly on Bainbridge Island has hung its latest show in the newly “refreshed”  pub. The owners closed the pub from November 6-9 to give the place its 20th anniversary makeover. New recycled fir paneling, wall paper, and ceiling treatment were added along with new restroom floors. The art show from the Wednesday Watercolor group of painters is a popular annual event.
