Bold Predictions for Hawks vs. Viks

Posted on January 8, 2016 by Boundary Bay

First off, Boundary Bay Brewery will be opening at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday for Gameday & Beer-To-Go. Chef Matt has prepared a delicious breakfast lineup: Breakfast sandwiches & burritos and biscuits & gravy. Mimosas will be available too! Kickoff is at 10 a.m.

Jordan Slagle is Boundary Bay’s Resident Football Analyst. He is an avid football fan and appeared in three of the past four Super Bowls in Boundary Bay’s Fantasy Football League.

The playoffs are finally here. An exciting NFC Wild Card matchup between the Seattle Seahawks (10-6) and the Minnesota Vikings (11-5) will be played at Minnesota’s temporary home, TCF Stadium, the first playoff game played in a college stadium in the past few decades.

The Seahawks are red hot coming off a blowout win against division rival Arizona Cardinals. But, Minnesota is bringing the ice. The coldest game on record was 16 degrees back December 2006, but the Sunday game is expected to just 1-4° F.

The low temperatures may work in favor of the Hawks as Marshawn Lynch,“Beast Mode,” returns to play after missing seven games due to injury. He spent that time rehabbing for 8-10 hours per day in the Bay Area with MMA trainer Tareq Azim.

The Vikings will also look to run the ball in the cold with the NFL’s leading rusher Adrian Peterson (1,485 yards). Second year quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will lead this Norv Turner offense against the Seahawks hard-nosed pass rush and the Legion of Boom.

NFL fans in North Carolina (Carolina Panthers) will be cheering for the Vikings; the last thing they want is play the Seahawks, who are destined for their third straight Super Bowl.

Bold Prediction: Seattle will beat Minnesota, 27-13 and be on their way to Charlotte to take on the Panthers in the NFC Divisional round.

Make sure to have your Skittles ready this weekend. Beast Mode will dominate even with the return of Minnesota’s star defensive players.

Boundary will be spicing it up with some of our own specialty seasonals…we’re bringing a Ginger Peach Blonde and our newest concoction: Thai-PA.

Ginger Peach Blonde: as a straightforward lighter bodied ale, this Blonde is brewed with generous amounts of German pilsner and Vienna malts that balance with a crisp yet cleansing Noble Saaz hop finish. We added Fresh Hawaiian ginger and natural peach extract creating a just hint of sweet & spicy flavor. OG 1.070

Thai-PA: A honey-ambered colored India Pale Ale with good body, fairly strong alcohol content and an aggressive “fresh hop” quality. Heavily dry hopped with kaffir lime leaves and lemon grass, this beer has a zesty citrus taste. OG 1.052

Barrel Aging Our Beers

Posted on November 21, 2011 by Boundary Bay

Our Scotch Ale is a beloved favorite of many. We think it’s great as is, but we figured everybody needs a change every once in awhile, right? So, we teamed up with Dry Fly Distillery in Spokane to create a small batch of Barrel Aged Scotch Ale. Dry Fly loaned us a couple of whiskey barrels and we’ve been aging our Scotch Ale in them. The result is a smooth, strong beer that is complex with a lingering hop finish (original gravity 1.064).

The majority of this barrel aged beer will be going back to Spokane, but you’ll get a few chances to taste this rare brew on this side of the mountains. We’ll have it on tap, here at Boundary Bay Brewery, on Monday, Dec 5th. This batch is limited so don’t miss out. Come early, as we’ll be tapping the pony keg around 11am…and my guess is this stuff isn’t gonna stick around for long! If you can’t make it to our brewpub on the 5th, you can also get a taste at the 2011 Winter Beer Fest and at Brouwer’s Cafe Big Wood Event.

The 2011 Winter Beer Fest is held in Seattle on December 2nd and 3rd. Put on by The Washington Beer Commission, this festival will showcase a variety of winter seasonals from 30 Washington breweries. (Get tickets and more info at www.washingtonbeer.com/winter-fest/.) We’ll be pouring 2008 Cabin Fever, Oak Aged Oatmeal Stout and our BRAND NEW, Barrel Aged Scotch Ale.

And your last chance, here on the West side, to taste our barrel aged Scotch Ale is at Brouwer’s Cafe Big Wood Event, Thurs, Dec 8th, starting at 11am. Don’t miss this unique event featuring 40 wood aged beers on tap, including our Barrel Aged Scotch Ale!

Hoptoberfest Hopes

Posted on October 19, 2011 by Boundary Bay

Every year, the Beveridge Place Pub down in Seattle turns October into Hoptoberfest. They feature around 12 Washington State IPAs that rotate through their taps and customers get a chance to vote on which IPA they want on tap EVERY SINGLE DAY at Beveridge Place Pub in 2012.

At the beginning of the month, you can nominate any Washington-brewed IPA, but by mid-October the voting gets whittled down to the top eight nominees. To vote, you must head to the Beveridge Place Pub and order a pint of IPA. You then get a ballot and can vote once a day…repeating throughout month as often as possible! From October 15th – 24th, customers vote for which three, among the top eight, will advance to the final round. After that, a general election ballot with the top three will be provided for voters until November 1st.

We’ve won the most customer votes four out of the five years that we’ve been a part of Hoptoberfest and have loved being the house IPA at Beveridge Place Pub! We’re hoping to retain our title as reigning champ and bring lots of BBAY IPA love to Seattlites through 2012 too. And we need your help! If you’re already in the Seattle area, go to the Beveridge Place Pub as often as your spouse or wallet allows (which is no hardship, we’re sure!) and vote for Boundary Bay Brewery when you get your ballot. However, if you’re not in the neighborhood, why not plan a road tripping to Seattle when we do!?! We’re planning a Brewers Night at the Beveridge Place Pub on Monday, October 24th…and we’re hoping to have a whole crowd of BBAY fans show up too.

The festivities will start, officially, around 5pm. But we’ll probably show up a little early to rub elbows with the regulars, so swing by if you manage to wriggle out of work a little early. There’ll be special treats (like our beloved Mac N Cheese and locally made pretzels from Ralf’s Bavarian Pretzels), raffle prizes and $3 pints during the brewers night, so come join the fun! If you know anything about last year’s Boundary Bay Brewers Night, you KNOW this is an evening not to be missed. Cheers!

Craft Beer + Food

Posted on September 6, 2011 by Boundary Bay

We are thrilled to take part in a very exciting new event in Seattle called Craft:Beer+Food. On Wednesday, September 28th, we’ll be at the Yacht Club on Lake Union from 5-8pm with a whole bunch of other food and craft beer aficionados.

Craft:Beer+Food is an event showcasing the Seattle area’s finest craft beer and cuisine, presented by the Washington Beer Blog in partnership with Seattle Magazine. This event celebrates the pairing of Seattle’s world-class food and world class beer with an event that demonstrates how locally brewed craft beers can be part of an elegant dining experience. Craft:Beer+Food introduces food lovers to good beer, beer lovers to good food.

Each brewery will be paired with a chef to create a unique food+beer pairing. The chefs and the brewers make the decisions. Our intention is to make the introductions and facilitate the creativity. Ultimately, the chefs and the brewers determine what will be plated and poured. We’re lucky enough to be paired with TASTE Restaurant and Chef Craig Heterington. TASTE Restaurant (Located at 1300 1st Avenue, Seattle, WA) is known for great food made from the best local ingredients, an inviting atmosphere and a commitment to minimizing the impact on our environment.

At the event, each attendee will have the opportunity to enjoy all ten beer+food pairings. Each station will offer a sample of beer along with a taste of food.

Craft:Beer+Food is the genius idea of Kendall Jones and Kim Sharpe Jones of the Washington Beer Blog and the event is a benefit for the Just Garden Project.

The Just Garden Project is a grassroots organization dedicated to building a culture of gardening for all people. They work with the community, encouraging and teaching people to build their own vegetable gardens, educating new gardeners and training youth to take an active role in gardening.

Trust us, you do NOT want to miss this great event! For just $30 per person, you get 10 food tastes paired with 10 beer samples and a chance to taste some of Washington’s best craft beer and culinary treats. Purchase your tickets online now! This event is for 21+ only, sorry!
