Happy Holidays!

Greetings!

Happy Holidays, B3 Buddies! This month, as you race about festively Fa-La-La-ing , remember that B3 is here to shower YOU with glad tidings (in the form of yummy sustenance). Our gift of the season? The gift of wings, in the form of our new signature B3 Latte Flights ... kinda like a wine flight, only deliciously designed to awesomely amp up your taste buds and get you going. December's 1-shot seasonal Latte Flight flavors: Peppermint Mocha, Raspberry White Chocolate, and Gingerbread.

 

Also: Almond milk. You want it? You got it! Happy to oblige! Almond milk is now available at the café.

 

And don't forget to light up the season by joining us for the Annual Holiday Lights Bike Tour on Dec 8 (see below for details)

December: Seasonal Celebration

   

Some beers are so good, they're a gift. This season, we say Ho-Ho-Ho to you with two beers that are sure to put the happy in your holidays.

 

Lagunitas Brewing: A Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale - Sneaky smooth with a touch of what we call wheaty-esque-ish-ness = crispy wheat and pale malt flavors with a big round and juicy hop finish. Cos' everyone needs a little sumpin' sumpin' sometimes. ABV: 7.5%

 great divide yeti

Great Divide: YETI Imperial Stout - Brace yourself for an onslaught of the senses. This brew starts with big, roasty malt flavor that gives way to rich caramel and toffee notes. YETI gets its bold hop character from an enormous quantity of American hops. It weighs in at a hefty 75 IBUs. Packing a solid 9.5% ABV. Translation: don't have too many, or you might think you're a YETI!

Wine: Red Like Rudolph

  
This month our wine list is red and lights the night up like Rudolph's nose. So raise a toast to these tasty pours of holiday cheer.

rudolph  

Andrew Lane Merlot '09, Sonoma, California - This Merlot vineyard is perched atop the lap of luxury in Windsor, California with one foot in Chalk Hill and the other in Russian River AVA. This 2009 vintage is a rich, deep purple with layers of dark fruit and new French oak. Balanced and well-structured with mild tannins. You can find amazing value in Merlot these days - this wine is a good example. Drinks like a Napa Cab.

 

Maipe Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendoza, ArgentinaThe fruit for this wine is sourced from the Central California Coast. It offers cedar on the nose followed by lush berry on the palate. The polished yet vibrant tannins provide for a full-bodied structure.

 

Bliss School House Red, Mendocino, CaliforniaThis wine combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Merlot as in previous blends but adds Syrah for more depth and complexity. It has a nose of dark berries, followed by a rich mouth feel bursting with fruit; the finish is long with good structure.

 

lakey bike B Creative: Artist Jim Lakey 

 

Looking for unique holiday gift items for your loved ones? This season's B Creative Artist (back by incredible popular demand) is Jim Lakey, adoring our café walls with amazing, gift-worthy metal and recycled artwork. His pieces are funky and fun and Jim hopes you will enjoy them as much as he loved making them.
