Eat, drink and be merry with this list of consumable gifts available in the Algona area.
Wrap up something delicious this holiday season! Consumable gifts can be easily shared and enjoyed, especially for those who like to entertain.
If locally brewed beer is a favorite, head to the Algona Axe House and find beer crafted by Ben Gatton of Top Dog Brewing. Try a growler for a holiday party, or as a gift. The Titonka Brewing Company is another great option for those seeking a local pour. Find their beers in local stores or check out their place in Titonka for broader options and additional merchandise.
Fareway and Hy-Vee often offer pre-made fruit and food gift baskets as well as meat and cheese trays or create your own special package with a variety of fruit, cheese, crackers, cookies, nuts or other favorite snacks.
Plum Creek Winery, located just outside of Algona, offers their own selection of Iowa wines, ranging from sweet and dry reds to semi-sweet and dry white to fruity and rose varieties. In addition to wine, Plum Creek Winery also offers paint and pour classes and an event space for rent.
Celebrate the “spirits” of Christmas with locally crafted liquor. Located just north of Algona, S&B Farms Distillery in Bancroft offers a wide range of specialized spirits that are ideal for holiday toasts, gifts and parties. Their seed-to-spirit distillery starts with their own farm-grown grains. Find their products in the Bancroft store location and on the shelves in Algona in a variety of stores.
When in doubt, a gift certificate to a local restaurant, bar or coffee shop is always a winner. Give a special person on your list their favorite cup of coffee at The Feed Mill, a slice of raisin cream pie at Bub’s Pie Shop, spicy wings at Billie Joe’s, a tasty cocktail at the Perky Parrot, or a stack of pancakes at A.K.’s Chrome Kitchen. The options are plentiful and sure to please.
