‘Tis the season for entertaining, celebrating, gathering, and giving.  Whether you are scratching your head over what to get Uncle Bob, puzzling over an appropriate yet useful item to show appreciation to employees or just need a platter of tasty treats for the next open house or Christmas party, Northwest Sausage and Deli and Dick’s Brewing have you covered.

dicks sausageJulie Young, owner of the two businesses, knows that the holidays are a busy time for everyone and the deli is no exception.  NW Sausage and Deli sees an increase in demand for their smoked meats and cheeses along with a surge in purchasing of the carefully crafted brews from Dick’s.

“The holidays are busy, but it’s a time when people are getting together and celebrating family, friends and traditions,” shares Young. “It’s fun to be a part of that with our products.”

And really…when you are stumped on what to get that certain someone on your list, who doesn’t like smoked meat and beer?  It’s a win-win, especially if you happen to live in the same household with the recipient.

“Many people purchase the gift boxes for employee holiday gifts or to take as a hostess gift at a holiday get together,” shares Young.  With their ready-to-go packaging and variety, the boxes put an easy smile on most faces.

Many of the items in the gift boxes can be purchased a la carte.  My favorite is the Chinese BBQ pork, complete with hot mustard and sesame seeds.  This item is particularly popular with Deli regulars to serve as an appetizer at holiday gatherings.  Purchase it by the pound, ready to arrange on your own platter, or purchase it on a party-ready tray.  A variety of meats and cheeses for parties are also available for purchase displayed on trays, ready to set on the buffet.

After 20 years, Dick’s Brewing has launched a new look for their popular variety pack including a minimum of 8 of the craft brewers best beers.

Is Dad’s stocking looking a little sad next to the overflowing children’s socks?  Vegetarians aside, no father (or mother for that matter) was ever sad to find locally made jerky or pepperoni in their stocking. And for those who don’t eat meat the Deli’s house smoked cheeses are delicious alternatives.

The crew at NW Sausage, led by Young herself, is extra busy in the smoker this time of year. They smoke 90 whole turkeys for the holiday season and they always sell out.  With no way to predict the demand, it’s recommended you order ahead to secure one of these delicious treats. Just call the Deli (360-736-7760) and they can help you out.  These birds are excellent as the centerpiece of your holiday table or a way to feed a house full of guests all week long with sandwiches and snacks.

In addition to the turkeys, smoked hams are prepared specially for holiday tables.  While you could head to your nearest chain supermarket to purchase a ham, why not purchase one cured and smoked locally, with a long-standing family recipe, to grace your table?  Not only does it taste wonderful, but the support of a local small business is something to celebrate as well.

Dicks Holiday Box-001What if you don’t want meat? The Deli is the designated retail outlet for Dick’s Brewing, the popular micro-brewery started by Julie’s father, Dick Young.  Variety packs of either 12 or 24 of Dick’s most popular brews are terrific gifts for those in your family who might appreciate a tall cold one on Christmas afternoon.  And if you are hosting a crowd, kegs (five-gallon, quarter and half barrels) are available to quench the thirst of the whole crew.

Another unique offering to take to a holiday gathering is a growler of one of Dick’s signature beers.  Everybody likes the guy who shows up with a growler, right?  With beer to share and a signature growler to refill anytime, it’s a gift that keeps on giving, pint after pint.

Consumables are not the only thing you can pick up at NW Sausage and Deli, or at the Dick’s Brewing Taproom on Galvin Road in Centralia. Both locations carry a terrific selection of Dick’s “swag.” T-shirts, hoodies, caps and pint glasses are excellent gifts.  We purchased matching Dick’s Danger Hoodies for my in-laws last year.  Were they happy?  You bet.  Living far from the source of delicious Dick’s Beer, they appreciate being able to wear a reminder every day.

“We really have so many choices for people at this time of year,” shares Young.  Why not look locally for the gifts still on your list and holiday treats for employees and parties?  Meat, cheese and beer?  Really, you can’t go wrong.
