I was impressed that they offer five different hard ciders on tap in addition to a dozen craft beers on tap. I chose to sample a Baked Apple cider and it was aptly named! It tasted like I was drinking a baked apple I also noticed that they have a partnership with Lava Louie's pizza! There is a QR code on the side of their napkin dispensers that will connect you to Lava Louie's online ordering menu! And, Lava Louie's will deliver it to you at Wicked Teuton! However, Wicked Teuton does offer their own menu. You don't have to order from Lava Louie's if you don't want to. I had an enjoyable wait for my movie. I just hope the movie is as enjoyable as my wait was.

I had Crossed Arrows Brewery's beer a while back. At the time it looked like they were planning to…read moreopen a taproom in Gig Harbor. It was as it often is like watching a pot and waiting for the water in it to boil as far as anticipating a new brewery to open. But as time passed I got distracted by other things. It appears now they have moved their operations to the Oak Harbor area on Whidby Island. I saw no announcement that a taproom was open but as before as when they looked like they may open a tasting room in Gig Harbor the best thing to do to try their beers is to look at their Facebook page or website for where they have their beer as a guest tap. A while back I had two of their beers at the Narrows Airport at the restaurant there. They were both IPA's but different from each other and pretty enjoyable. This was a great location for them to have had their beer on tap as you could enjoy the airplanes take off and fly in. I wish them well and success for them in Oak Harbor.

I was in the mood for a good burger and we had heard great things about Temperate Habits, so we…read moretried them on a Thursday evening during the prime dinner hour. Our server was Rainey, she was awesome, very attentive, and came to our table right away to take our order. The atmosphere at Temperate Habits is very nice, there is outside seating but we sat inside due to the bright evening sun. Our meals took quite a while to arrive, I think we were at the tail end of the dinner rush and my guess is they have a small kitchen. My classic cheeseburger was about the most generic, predictable, and utterly boring burger I could imagine, and for $17 I would certainly not return for that or the mundane shoestring fries. The burger patty, bun, and fries were all non creative and the there was nothing even the slightest bit unique about my burger, in fact I swear it is the exact same burger that the Skagit River Brewery serves just around the corner. The surprise entree was the Crab and Lobster Tots, now whoever thought that would be good? The plate looked very strange to say the least but I have to say.... this dish was really good! So you'd think if they could create that total mayhem of a dish that they could get far more creative with the burgers and least have a house burger sauce or a higher quality bun for $17, something? I might return to Temperate Habits to have a drink with friends and share some tots, because they give you a large enough portion for four people, but I would certainly look elsewhere for a good burger. 5 stars for atmosphere and service, 1 star for the burger, 4 stars for the tots.

Our waitress was very friendly greeting me and my pup and made him feel very…read morewelcomed by bringing him out a clean water bowl as soon as we picked a table on their dog-friendly patio (with Pup Menus on each table!). The patio faces one of the main streets so there was lots of good people watching. I ordered a beer flight and was very satisfied with all four of my selections: Prickly Pear Kolsch - it was creamy and easy to drink, bursting with prickly pear flavor; just the right amount of tart and sweet. Lightly Buzzed Honey Lavender Blonde - my favorite of the flight; it was very hoppy but light and refreshing and well balanced by intense lavender flavor and a smooth honey finish. Get it! You won't regret it. High Five Hefe - lighter/less hazy and more hoppy than most hefes it made for a unique and complimentary beer on my flight. Pommeroys Citra Pale Ale - a perfect West Coast IPA. To eat, my pup got the Lucky Dog hamburger (which the chef pre-cut) and loved it! He chowed down in less than a minute. And I got the Mac & Cheese Burger (sub a veggie patty) with the Garlic Fries. It was a very indulgent meal to say the least. The burger was loaded with so much Mac & Cheese that I couldn't even put the top bun on it and pick it up. lol I had to knife and fork the whole thing which was totally worth it. The Mac is a classic home style recipe (think Stouffers but better). Their fries are shoestring and super crispy and salty. And they loaded those up with an amazing garlic aioli and Parmesan. I got a side of their house-made curry aioli and was obsessed with it. Every fry that didn't have sauce or parm got a dip in that deliciousness and I added it to quite a few of the burger bites too. All in all, a great brewpub that I look forward to returning to in the future!

I really try not to let a few bad reviews sway me from trying an establishment, but I have to echo…read morewhat a few of them before me have said: the service/personality is severely lacking here. For what feels like no apparent reason. The bartender slinging beers--truly seemed annoyed and miserable with his life. And then the woman taking food orders? Also acted very inconvenienced. It was just kind of unsettling and unwelcoming. And then there's the part about the unexplained wait time for our food order. My sister ordered after us and received her brisket nachos in what felt like a timely manner. 10-15-20 minutes went by before we finally inquired about the wait of our brisket poutine. The same lady who took our order just matter-of-factly told us, "it's still being worked on," before another employee came to offer more of an explanation, stating that their ticket system had failed and missed some orders. At that point, we just wanted to cancel the order altogether and get on our way, but we were assured that it was being prepared. So then we opted to take it to go. Overall, what a wildly disappointing dining experience. Our to-go poutine had 3 whole cheese curds (had to pay for extra) and brisket that looked like dog kibble. I hate to dog on establishments, but this is one I really cannot recommend.

Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking to relax with a glass of wine or cider, enjoy a chill lunch, and hang with your four legged crew. Pro tip Stella Sopra, one of the best Italian food trucks or Italian food in general we've ever encountered is parked right on the property. Delicious handmade pasta plus good wine equals the kind of afternoon we all deserve. The staff here is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They took their time walking us through all the wines and sharing the stories behind them. We ended up walking away with a bottle of rosé Tempranillo and a beautifully aged 2014 Tempranillo hands down one of the best reds I've had all year. We were honestly shocked in the best way that a flight of four wines plus a full glass for my husband came out to under $20 talk about incredible value for quality pours or maybe were so used to crazy Seattle pricing! There's indoor seating, but if the weather's nice, grab a spot on the patio or in the front area with your dogs and soak in the peaceful vineyard vibes. I could see the patio filling up fast during peak times, but we visited during a slower hour and loved that no one rushed us people were coming and going, and we were free to sip, snack, and stay awhile. I wasn't the biggest fan of the ciders, but their wines were definitely worth the visit. It's a smaller operation, but that's part of the charm. Local, family-run vibes with great energy, great service, and great pours. Support the little guys and bring your dogs!

It was a fun crowd, a lovely evening, and (more than once) I found myself wondering how I ended up at a weeknight outdoor comedy show in Sedro-Woolley! They had a bunch of delicious beers on tap, plus wine and cider too. They even have some pinball machines, which are hard to come by around these parts. In a county devoid of many taphouse options, I'll definitely be adding this spot to my regular rotation.

B&B is dog-friendly, so there are usually a bunch of adorable pups around.

We had visited Eagle Haven Winery years ago, and were disinclined to return. However, we heard…read morethere were new owners, so we thought we'd give it another chance. First off, the wines were much better than before. Maybe because some of the legacy wines have had 7 years to mature, and the others are also pretty decent. This isn't Napa, but definitely a great place to check out in NW Washington. In addition to the wines, they have a substantial apple orchard, and are making some interesting Apple Ciders. They also have a great outdoor venue with lots of diverse musical acts in the summer season. Oh, and occasional comedy acts in their inside space. Or room for weddings and other group events. But maybe the best part is the staff - real, friendly and welcoming. Mark, the "owner" (there are other partners) is very gregarious, and if you and he have the time, he has 1001 stories to tell. The only thing lacking is a better food offering, but they are in the process of getting a commercial kitchen, so stay tuned!
