Pass-around Dishes: Stuffed mushrooms and smoked salmon cakes with lemon, dill, and honey mustard glaze.
1st Course: Beer Cheese Soup Bread Bowl. Paired w/Reuben's Crickey IPA.

Short ribs braised in Hale's Double Pale Ale and fresh herbs, served on a creamy polenta. Topped with a mushroom duxulle (sauce made of mushrooms, garlic, and shallots), mirepoix (chopped carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers), and gastrique (caramelized sugar, deglazed with vinegar). Sprinkled with gremolata (lemon zest, parsley, garlic, parmesan, and olive oil). Garnished with rosemary.
4th Course: Chocolate & Espresso Pot de Creme. Paired w/Stoup's Porter.
Served with tuilles (a thin, crisp, sweet wafer) and crème anglaise sauce (white chocolate with orange porter). Garnished with framboise candied hazelnuts, candied orange wheel, fresh raspberries, and shaved bitter chocolate.
BALLARD BREWMASTER DINNER BEER PAIRINGS
Reuben's Imperial Rye IPA
Intense citrus and floral aroma followed by a smooth medium-full mouth feel. Citrus leads the flavor profile, with rye spice and bitterness coming through in the finish. 8.4% ABV, 80 IBUs.
Fremont Harvest Ale
A Fall seasonal. A French farmhouse-style saison brewed with Northwest hops. This Fall beer has fruit and bread aromas, with white wine notes reminiscent of apricots and apple. Harvest Ale finished dry and crisp. Unfettered by spices. Brewed with 2-row and wheat with Magnum and Cascade hops. 6.5% ABV.
Hale's Anniversary Double Pale Ale
Somebody said, "Hey, it's your anniversary-- go big or go home," so of course... we went big. Our brewmaster, Lincoln, says, "This beer is modeled after our original pale, but with more of everything we love." Celebrate thirty one years of Hale's Ales with this doubly good pale ale. Open-fermented and dry-hopped for that special Hale's edge. Malts include 2-row, crystal, Vienna, wheat, oats, and aromatics. Hops include Centennial, Mosaic, Chinook, Citra, and Bravo. 8.0 % ABV, 40 IBUs.
Stoup's Porter
Rich in color and character, Stoup's robust porter conjures up memories of decadent chocolate treats dipped in coffee. Hints of dark chocolate, roasted coffee and light malty sweetness are the result of a complex malt profile including chocolate malt, roasted barley, roasted wheat and roasted rye.
6.5% ABV, 45 IBUs.
Price includes gratuity!
Vegetarian and/or other dietary restrictions may be accommodated with advance notice. Please call the pub at (206) 782-0737 to make arrangements.
