Foragers Feast 11/7
The Woods Set the Table — We Simply Serve
Each course of this one-night-only dinner draws inspiration from the forests, orchards, and coastal hills of our region. Guided by foragers Karin Best and Sam Staflinsen, our kitchen transforms their seasonal finds into a story of autumn told through flavor, texture, and craft.
Aperitif — Elderberry Elixir
Our welcome cocktail captures the shift of the season. House-crafted elderberry cordial layered with bright citrus and herbal notes offers a first sip that’s both restorative and celebratory — a toast to the forest’s late-summer abundance.
Amuse-Bouche — Wild Foraged Mushroom Arancini
A golden risotto sphere infused with woodland mushrooms, crisp on the outside and creamy within. Each bite carries the earthy warmth of the forest floor, finished with a whisper of herb aioli for brightness.
First Course — Forest Floor Pâté
A silken mushroom pâté steeped with thyme and smoked sea salt, spread over delicate brioche crisps. This dish evokes the richness of the forest canopy, balancing deep umami with airy sweetness.
Second Course — Wild Raspberry Garden Salad
Tender local greens tossed in a wild raspberry vinaigrette, accented with toasted hazelnuts and edible blossoms. A vibrant interlude between woodland and orchard — a nod to nature’s color and texture.
Third Course — Chanterelle Velouté
A velvety soup of chanterelles and cream, drizzled with thyme oil and crowned with a parmesan crisp. Silky, aromatic, and deeply comforting — a reflection of autumn’s golden light captured in a bowl.
Fourth Course — Duck Medallion with Plum Balsamic Glaze
Seared duck breast medallion glazed with a late-season plum and aged balsamic reduction, served over a bed of wild mushroom risotto. The balance of savory and sweet embodies the essence of fall: lush, fleeting, and unforgettable.
Finale — Orchard Apple & Brie Tart
Caramelized apples and ripe Brie in a buttery tart shell, finished with cider caramel and candied walnuts. A perfect closing note that blends orchard fruit, creaminess, and crunch — a gentle echo of harvest’s last gifts.
As the evening unfolds, each course will be paired with flavors that echo the season’s spirit. Guests may choose between two curated pairing packages: Beer-Forward, featuring Gyppo’s signature brews, or Hybrid, a creative mix of beer, cider, and cocktail-inspired pairings. Whether you come for the food, the drink, or the shared experience, the Foragers Feast invites you to slow down, gather close, and taste the story of the Lost Coast—one course at a time.
Lost Coast Festival Of Spirits
Halloween gets spooky, sweet, and a little wild on the Lost Coast—and we’re in the middle of it all. From October 24–25 and again on October 31–November 1, Shelter Cove transforms into a celebration for all ages. Expect everything from trunk-or-treating and haunted hay rides to spooky trail walks, martial arts–style haunted houses, and a creepy clubhouse carnival. Plus, SCARF will be hosting a community altar for Día de los Muertos, inviting us to honor loved ones with photos, flowers, and memories.
At Gyppo, the fun hits full tilt with our Annual Costume Contest on Friday October 31st at 7PM. Kids, adults, and even pets are welcome to strut their spooky (or silly) looks for prizes. We’ll also host Marigolds & Memories on November 1st, an evening of food, music, and community remembrance on Día de los Muertos.
This is one of the biggest community events of the year, and it’s 100% free to join. Mark your calendar, round up the family, and come be part of the haunted magic, Lost Coast–style.
👉 Grab your costumes, bring your courage, and celebrate Halloween with us at Gyppo.
11/1 - 11/22 GRATEFUL TINY ART PROJECT
Where do you find inspiration? For me, it’s the people who surround me — my friends, my team, my community, and this wild stretch of coast we call home. This project was inspired by Lynn Leishman and the Humboldt County Library’s Tiny Art Project, and I loved the idea so much that I wanted to bring it here to the Lost Coast — to make it our own.
Here’s how it works:
Pick up your Tiny Art packet at Gyppo Ale Mill starting November 1. Each packet includes a mini canvas and a $5-off voucher to use when you return your art.
Create your art — paint, draw, collage, or whatever feels right. The theme is gratitude. Big or small, simple or detailed — it’s about what fills your heart.
Return your piece by November 22.
We’ll showcase all the artwork in the taproom starting November 24, just in time for Thanksgiving week.
It’s a reminder that gratitude grows when it’s shared — and we can’t wait to see what inspires you.
Join us for this community art project that celebrates connection, creativity, and all the things that make life on the Lost Coast so special.
11/21 PEACHES & PIES SUPPER
Three years ago, we brewed a peach beer and tucked it away in oak barrels, letting the wild yeast from our Lost Coast air work its quiet magic. No shortcuts. No rush. Just time, oak, and a little coastal patience.
Now it’s ready — and it deserves a night of its own.
Join us Friday, November 21 for Peaches & Pies, a feast built around that long-awaited beer and its sister spirit — a peach brandy distilled right here at Gyppo. Together with our friends at Swell, we’re hosting an evening that’s part harvest party, part coastal dream.
This isn’t a plated dinner — it’s a celebration in motion. You’ll wander from station to station, tasting and toasting your way through the night:
• A welcome cocktail crafted with our new peach-distilled liquor.
• A grazing table piled high with peach-inspired bites.
• A warm, seasonal soup and fresh farm salad served family-style.
• Two savory hand pies created in collaboration with Swell.
• One dessert hand pie that brings it all home — sweet, flaky, and unforgettable.
And because we know the right sip makes every bite sing, you can add a pairing package featuring pours of our oak-aged peach beer and peach brandy throughout the night.
It’s cozy, communal, and a little magical — the kind of evening that could only happen here on the Lost Coast.
