Open windows, warm breeze, blooming flowers—and Otter Creek’s Spring Ale, Kölsch style from Trader Joe's. As clear, crisp and refreshing as a mild spring day, this tasty beer will quickly disappear from your refrigerator. Like any classic Kölsch, Otter Creek’s spring ale is a simple, light beer with a balanced effervescence and easy grassy flavor

The delicious crunch of Almondina® Biscuits is like no other gourmet treat.

Almondina is a Four-Time NASFT Award Winner in the Best Cookie and Outstanding Classic Categories.

Hilarious, true, irresistibly Trader Joe's! And oh so catchy....
