Founded in 1872, Einsiedler Bier is one of Switzerland’s only remaining privately owned breweries. Stable’s Executive Chef, David Fritsche, grew up in the town where Einsiedler is based and thus has a lifelong connection to the iconic beer maker.
Beginning today, guests can head over to Stable will be serving Einsiedler’s Swiss Dark (ALC 5.2%) and Swiss Spelt (ALC 4.5%.) Both beers are very “drinkable” and pair well with almost anything on Stable’s menu. While co-owner Silvan Kraemer compare the Swiss Dark beer to an American Lager, he says the Swiss Spelt is “unlike anything you’ve ever had” here in the U.S.
Located in the heart of the District’s bustling H Street Corridor, Stable is a uniquely authentic European dining experience that serves traditional and modern Swiss-American food. The cozy eatery boasts a charming “après ski” vibe thanks to high ceilings, exposed brick, blonde wood and pillow-lined banquettes.
Stable’s menu, which is inspired by Fritsche & Kraemer’s childhoods in the Swiss Alps, perfectly fuses American and Swiss cuisines. Essential ingredients are imported from Switzerland but most are locally and sustainable sourced at the peak of freshness. While Stable’s offerings change frequently in order to maintain the highest quality and innovation, highlights from the current menu include Cheese and Apple Spätzli with Crispy Onions, Pan Seared Scallops with Cranberry Knödel, Swiss Chard, Lemon & Cranberry Jus, Zürich-style Veal with Potato Rösti & Champingons Cream Sauce and Traditional Swiss Cheese Fondue made with a tantalizing blend of Schlossberger Old, Schlossberger Young and Vercherin Cheeses.
