Thursday - July 11th (6:30pm - 9pm)- Get ready for a dinner you will never forget. The Cottage (Bothell) will be holding a beer inspired dinner, featuring Foggy Noggin beers served on each course and some dishes will have our beer in the recipe. We even brewed an exclusive beer for this unique night of taste sensations. Tickets are required in advance and can be purchased HERE!
An amazing evening with Jim Jamison (and hopefully his wife, Kim) of Foggy Noggin Brewing! We will feature a prix fixe four-course meal with beer pairings, with Jim discussing each of his unique brews. And we'll be closing the evening with an exclusive nitro stout brewed especially for The Cottage!
Ticket price INCLUDES tax, tip, and fees.

STARTER
Mixed Greens Salad
Bit O'Beaver honey vinaigrette, citrus, aged manchego, and hand pulled croutons
Pairing: Bit O’Beaver – English Bitter
The beer that started everything. This is a session beer that you can enjoy several of without paying any consequences. Just the right amount of caramel sweetness and light bitterness to make this beer the definition of “drinkability.” Have you had your Beaver today?
IBU: 34
ABV: 3.4%
Malts: Maris Otter Pale Ale, Belgian Biscuit, Crystal
Hops: Fuggle, Willamette, Golding

APPETIZER
Matty's Mild Battered Fish & Chips
Pairing: Matty's Mild – English Dark Mild
When we let Matthew create his own Foggy Noggin beer, we didn’t know he would come up with the amazing Matty’s Mild. This might be the quintessential British session beer, like its name suggests, a Mild is known for its low level of hops character and low alcohol content. But this beer is packed with lots of toasty malty flavor that will make you come back for more. Cheers!
IBU: 28
ABV: 3.5%
Malts: Maris Otter, Brown, Chocolate
Hops: Fuggle, Golding

MAIN
Duck "à l’Orange"
Barrel Aged House Ale and orange reduction, duck breast, cauliflower puree, and sautéed bitter greens
Pairing: Barrel Aged House Ale
Perhaps the most unique ale on the market. Each 1/2BBL batch is fermented in Hungarian Oak barrels with a perpetual yeast, making each batch unlike any other.
IBU: 57
ABV: 6.3%
Malts: Maris Otter, Amber, Biscuit, Crystal 45
Hops: Brewers Gold, Fuggle, Golding

DESSERT
House-made stout ice cream with cocoa coffee cake
Pairing: The Cottage Nitro Chocolate Stout – Russian Imperial Stout
This rich malty stout is big in flavor and smooth and gentle on the palate. The roasty goodness is paired well with the Ecuadorian cocoa nibs that were added in secondary fermentation. Serving this brew on Nitro brings out a luxurious elegance that pairs well with an meal ending desert.
IBU: 62
ABV: 8.2%
