Peaks & Pints Tacoma Sandwich Special: The Gouda Ranchero
Wednesday, July 30, 2025: Peaks & Pints Kitchen Brittany’s The Gouda Ranchero is a sandwich so swaggering, it should come with a Stetson and a warning label. This is where turkey sheds its cardigan and kicks open the saloon doors, where thick-cut bacon winks from under a sunburst of bell peppers and tomatoes, all lounging in the warm, smoky arms of melted Gouda. But wait — then comes the salsa ranch, creamy and zesty like a desert sunrise dipped in mischief, soaking into toasted sourdough with the sly grin of a bandit preacher on his third confession. Basically, it’s a yeehaw in your mouth.
PAIRING: Pelican Brewing Kiwanda Cream Ale
Pair The Gouda Ranchero with Pelican’s Kiwanda Cream Ale, and you have yourself a sun-drenched two-step between beach bonfire and ranch hand brunch. The sandwich struts in with bacon bravado, salsa ranch sass, and Gouda’s slow-smoked drawl, while Kiwanda glides in like a bare-footed breeze—light, creamy, just sweet enough to kiss the bell peppers and mop up the spice without ruffling its crisp-collared dignity. Together, they don’t shout—they smolder. It’s a tabletop affair of texture and tempo, a toast to flavor without the lecture, bubbles where there could’ve been sermon.’’
SOUP: Chicken Poblano
