When the temperature drops and cozy vibes take over, there’s nothing better than indulging in dishes that warm your soul. Winter is the season for hearty, flavorful comfort food, and we’ve got just the lineup to make those frosty nights a little brighter (and a lot tastier). Here are our top picks for cold-weather cravings—grab a blanket, pull up a chair, and let’s dig in.
1. Hiker’s Hot Honey Pizza (Abby Exclusive)
Beer Pairing: Off Trail Pale Ale
This is no ordinary pizza. With spicy soppressata, melted mozzarella, roasted garlic, and a drizzle of chili flake-infused honey, the Hiker’s Hot Honey Pizza delivers the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. One bite, and you’ll be transported to a warm cabin by the fire—without leaving your seat.
2. Apple + Brie Sammy
Beer Pairing: Knotty Blonde Ale
Imagine biting into a sandwich so good it feels like a hug. Grilled chicken, creamy brie, crisp apple slices, and spinach come together with a pop of raspberry habanero jam and garlic aioli, all tucked between slices of Lepp’s and Anita’s Bread sourdough. It’s sweet, savory, and everything your winter day needs.
3. Spicy Mt. Mac
Beer Pairing: West Coast IPA
Mac and cheese, but make it next-level. Our Spicy Mt. Mac is loaded with beer cheese, jalapeños, and garlic bread crumbs, served with a slice of creole sourdough. It’s the ultimate comfort food with a kick—and yes, it’s vegetarian, so everyone can get in on the cheesy goodness.
4. Pulled Pork Poutine
Beer Pairing: River Valley Amber Ale
Is there a better way to warm up than with fries smothered in pulled pork, cheese curds, gravy, and BBQ sauce? (The answer is no.) Topped with apple slaw and green onions, our Pulled Pork Poutine is the perfect combination of hearty, tangy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
5. Fried Chicken Tacos with Fries
Beer Pairing: Moon Dance Mango Wheat
Crunchy, spicy, and bursting with flavor, our Fried Chicken Tacos are everything you want on a cold night. Juicy fried chicken is paired with jalapeño ranch, elote salsa, feta, pickled onions, cilantro, and a sprinkle of tajin. Served with crispy fries, it’s a feast you’ll want to repeat all winter long.
Winter doesn’t stand a chance against these hearty, flavor-packed dishes. Whether you’re in the mood for something cheesy, spicy, or sweet, our menu has just the thing to keep you cozy. Come in from the cold, grab your favorite, and let comfort food work its magic.
