Warm Up With Winter Treats at Boundary Bay Brewery

Ski Lift Chocolate Mousse

After Thanksgiving, we’ll be serving up a new Winter Dessert Menu here at Boundary Bay Brewery.  We like to offer up desserts that celebrate the flavors of the season and this new Winter Menu is full of hearty, warming desserts perfect to ward off any winter chill!  Look for our new menu during the first week of December!

Winter Crumble

Winter Crumble: a sweet walnut crumble tops a wintery fruit filling of pears, apples, dried figs and cranberries.  Served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  A sweet treat to balance the bitter winds of winter.

Ski-Lift Chocolate Mousse:  a rich chocolate mousse spiked with peppermint schnapps!  One bite and you might think you’re dining in a chalet up on Mt. Baker with this new take on a winter warm-up enjoyed by powder hounds around the world.

Chocolate Stout Ice Cream Cake

Chocolate Stout Ice Cream Cake: house made caramel ice cream is sandwiched between layers of bittersweet chocolate cake smothered in a warm chocolate sauce.  Both the cake and the sauce are flavored with Boundary Bay Brewery’s own Oatmeal Stout.  A great dessert for sharing…if you have the will power!

Sticky Pecan Pumpkin Cake:  Thanksgiving has come and gone but if you haven’t had your fill of Autumn flavors you CAN have your cake and eat it too!  Pumpkin pie meets pecan pie in this delicious cake with a sticky sweet layer of caramelized pecans covering a decadent pumpkin cake topped with Oatmeal Stout caramel sauce.

Boundary Bay Brewery’s Sweet Tweet

Twitter is a relatively new word in the world of small business, public relations and marketing.  Yet, Twitter continues to prove itself as a huge, powerful tool in strengthening brand identity and in creating a community around a business.  At Boundary Bay Brewery, we’ve leaped into social media and are enjoying finding our fans spread across the world (even when our beer doesn’t get distributed further than Idaho!)  Not only is it fun to be a local brewery, but to then also find that we have active supporters as far flung as Tokyo, Russia and Denmark makes for a very rewarding social media experience.  But, we wanted to do more with social media then just hear what people are saying about our brewery and our beer.  We want to get in touch with our fans and get them involved in our business.  That’s why we’re holding our very first Sweet Tweet next Tuesday afternoon in the Beer Garden.

Donica Burnett, of Bantam Cakes, is also our dessert chef and we’ve been very happy to unveil her new Summer Dessert Menu at Boundary Bay Brewery.  Her creations are so popular, her dessert menu actually sold completely out the first night we offered it!  But, since the menu is so new, we haven’t decided on recommended beer pairings for all the creations.  Now, Boundary Bay Brewery Twitter fans have a chance to be part of a unique opportunity…our very first Sweet Tweet! We want Twitterers to come in and sample our new desserts and help us decide which beers pair best with each of the tasty treats.  Twitterers will taste for free, but the deal is they have to tweet for their food (you know…like sing for your supper.)!  We want the Twitter universe to feel like they are tasting with us – sampling Donica’s amazing desserts and debating whether the Dry Irish Stout or the Pilsner set off the flavors of the Larabee Cake better. So, if you attend, plan on tweeting your opinions between tastings.

If you’d like to participate, head to our Twitter page to get all the details!

Boundary Bay Brewery Unveils New Spring Dessert Menu

At Boundary Bay Brewery we try to pay as much attention to our food as we do our beer.  And, while we know that everyone has tried and true favorites here, we also know that it never hurts to try something new every once in awhile.  We like to keep things interesting…and one way we do that is to have a rotating, seasonal dessert menu.  Donica Burnett, our dessert chef, has developed five new treats to tempt your palette and if you’d like to sample more of her works, be sure to check out her Bantam Cakes stall at the Bellingham Farmers Market every Saturday!
