OCTOBER 2013

 

Ladies enjoying coffee with b3 mugs
New Menu!  

Greetings!

The air is changing, good friends! Chilly mornings. Crisp evenings. A sudden compulsion to dress in weird costumes and go trolling for candy in the dark. Yes, Autumn has arrived and so it's time to mix up ye olde B3 menu to keep up with the flavors of the season. And when we say mix up the menu, we mean change it quite a bit. This month we're pleased to reveal our REVISED and vastly EXPANDED café menu. We've changed a few names (sorry, Lance), and added a lot of new breakfast items, new sandwiches and salads, and more. It's just our way of keeping things delicious. So drop on by to see what's brand new on the brand new menus. And, as always, check the chalkboards for this month's seasonal selections. Don't forget to look in the bakery case...pumpkin bread is back for the season and as delicious as ever!

October Beers: Session 

   

Who doesn't love tasty American craft beers? YOU don't, the MORNING AFTER you've had too many. Their notoriously high alcohol limit can leave you hurting with a dreaded post-pub night hangover. So, what's the solution? Session Beers! A session beer is any beer that contains no higher than 5 percent ABV, featuring a balance between malt and hop characters (ingredients) and, typically, a clean finish - a combination of which creates a beer with high drinkability. The purpose of a session beer is to allow a beer drinker to have multiple beers, within a reasonable time period or "session", without overwhelming the senses or reaching inappropriate levels of intoxication. (Know your limits, friends!) Give these great tasting craft session beers a try the next time you're at the Café.

 

 

Terrapin Beer Company, Recreation Ale - Wrap your hand around a can of Recreation Ale and explore what outside life has to offer. This hopped up session ale is specially formulated to accompany  

you on all of your outdoor activities. Pack in this flavorful ale and pack out the memories while enjoying this quaffable brew. Or, you know, just kick back and savor it here at the café. Backpacking excursion not required. Hops: 4.7% ABV

  

Cigar City Hotter than Helles  - Munich Helles Lager. A nod to the thirst quenching lagers of Germany. A sweet malt expression that's balanced by floral bitterness from the use of German Hallertaur Mittelfruh hops. A very refreshing beer that will also entice you by its subtle complexity and drinkability. 5% ABV

 

Wine: Stark Raving Madness

  

We thought that we would go a little mad this month with October being the month of APGD's Zombietoberfest and Halloween. STARK RAVING wines go against the grain and celebrate the idea of doing things differently and with great passion. They are rooted in the entrepreneurial spirit of Rosenblum's founder, who took a chance and did what he loved, no matter what anybody said. Their wines are playful and bold blends that prove a little dose of madness can lead to extraordinary things.

STARK RAVING WHITE BLEND, CABold, fruit-forward, juicy white blend with big flavors of pear and melon. Think a bigger (and maybe better) version of chardonnay with lots of stone fruit. Be bold, be adventurous, try a glass today! 90% Chardonnay, 8% Muscat and 2% Malvasia Blanco

 

STARK RAVING RED BLEND, CA - A crazy good wine with big and bold flavors. Rich, jammy fruits like dark bing cherries and ripe plums. A unique blend of 34% Tannat, 28% Zinfandel, 18% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petite Sirah and 6% other (apparently it's a secret).

 

STARK RAVING MALBEC, ARGENTINA - Unaffected by boundaries and borders, the wine maker travelled to Argentina to find this Malbec. A pure expression of this reputable region, this Malbec delivers attractive spiciness and rich fruit intensity. On the nose, aromas of black cherry and blueberry are cradled by chocolate and smoked bacon. The rich gaminess and fat fruit flavors continue on the round, supple palate, and finish with a nice, lifted finale.

Come out for a beautiful and unique night of sitar music. The sitar

is a plucked stringed instrument used mainly in Hindustani music and Indian classical music. The instrument descended from long-necked lutes taken to North India from Central Asia and is also believed to be influenced by the Veena. The sitar flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries and arrived at its present form in the 18th century Mughal period. It derives its distinctive timbre and resonance from sympathetic strings, bridge design, a long hollow neck and a gourdresonating chamber.
