Bits and Bites: Fish Creek Market Braves the Winter

Fish Creek Market will stay open through winter. Submitted.

Norzwich lovers can rejoice that the new owners of the Fish Creek Market are planning to stay open through the winter. The market has been closed during the winter for several years, but Stephen and Cristina Jones, who took over the space in March, will be open six days a week, closing only on Wednesdays for the foreseeable future.

“We want to get back to the idea of being a general mercantile where people can get the basics in addition to specialty items,” Stephen Jones said. “If we’re going to do that, we need to be open for the community.”

The planned hours are Monday and Tuesday, 9 am – 5 pm; Thursday – Saturday, 9 am – 6 pm; and Sunday, 9 am – 3 pm. The famed Norzwich sandwiches will be available in the deli. Visit fishcreekmarket1892.com to see hours and updates. 

Oo-la-long

The newest beer in Hacienda Beer Co.’s Divine Herb series of Tea-Shake IPAs will arrive at Door County Brewing Co. Taproom & Music Hall in Baileys Harbor this weekend. The Divine Herb series was created to mimic the flavor profile of a Thai iced tea, and this batch features a crazy amount of oolong tea, as well as lactose sugar, tamarind, green cardamom and star anise. 

Each Friday, Hacienda releases new beers that can be ordered online starting as early as Wednesday at 3 pm. Online ordering for this week’s release is available now at linktr.ee/haciendabeer.
