Nugget’s Blog, Stardate 11703.01. Let your nerd flag fly—it’s sci-fi month! For our latest edition of Book Club Pairings, we’re exploring some out-of-this-world offerings from all around our store. Along with reading about intergalactic intrigue, get a taste of the action with stellar sips and snacks like these.
Rubicon First Contact Pale Ale: Made with the galaxy hops, this beer has a strong aroma of fresh-picked hops, beautifully balanced with tones of citrus and passion fruit and a crisp, dry finish.
Gérard Bertrand Kosmos: Produced biodynamically, Kosmos is an elegant, balanced and powerful cuvee with deep ruby red color. With mature tannins and red fruit aromas, it has an intense and lingering finish.
Nutcher Cotton Candy Milk: For a nerdy, nonalcoholic beverage of the sci-fi variety, you can also drop by our dairy section to pick up a bottle of true blue milk! (Who knew you get this stuff on Earth?)
Don’t forget to make space for snacks! Our bulk section is a great source for sci-fi sweets and treats like extraterrestrial-esque neon gummy worms, dried kiwi and other astronaut-style food. Feeling cheesy? Warp on over to our specialty cheese department for Fiscalini Purple Moon Wine-Soaked Cheddar—a pairing in and of itself!
Ready to read? Whether you’re a trekkie or a techie, there are nearly infinite ways to get your sci-fi fix. Choose from contemporary titles like The Martian by Andy Weir or The Circle by Dave Eggers, time-honored classics like I, Robot by Isaac Asimov or 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke and everything in between. For more science fiction favorites, visit your local library or bookstore. For more sci-fi-inspired sips and snacks, drop by your local Nugget Markets!
Selection varies by store.
