Specialty beer importer Merchant du Vin’s Trappist Tuesdays continues at Peaks & Pints with another to-go flight of Trappist beers — although only one of the beer, Trappistes Rochefort Triple Extra, is imported by Merchant du Vin. For the uninitiated, Trappists are Roman Catholics who follow the Rule of St. Benedict, a 73-chapter book of precepts written in the sixth century by St. Benedict of Nursia that maps out a doctrine for life in self-supporting communities set apart from the material world. They don’t perform public ministry, and their days are structured with set hours for reading, study, prayer, and
Tournament of Beer: Northwest Lagers nominations open In April 2022, Peaks and Pints will host the Tournament of Beer: Northwest Lagers. Chosen through the nomination process below, the top 64 vote getters — the real lagers of genius — will compete Monday-Friday on our website April 8-30. Through online voting, Washington and Oregon pale lager drinkers will pick daily winners until the best lager in the Northwest is crowned. It’s just like March Madness, only with way more burps. The crispy boi battle grand champion will be announced at the Tournament of Beers Party April 30 at Peaks and Pints
There are lots of reasons to drink ginger beverages. For one thing, they’re one of the few drinks that use an actual natural flavor rather than artificial flavor. That’s because no one has synthesized a convincing ginger flavor yet. Raw ginger is relatively cheap, and so potent that a little goes a long way. Another reason to drink it is that ginger has medicinal properties; next to cannabis, it’s one of the world’s great anti-nausea agents, which is why parents give it to children with upset stomachs. A third reason lies in the making of ginger cider — the sweetness

Still dreaming of those idyllic high school days of talent shows, math problems, and after-school strawberry shakes? Yeah, we’re not either, but it’s National Strawberry Day and the berry is on our minds. Grown all over the world (except in the northern and southern artic hemispheres) with more than 600 known varieties, the strawberry is a sign of summer, peaking in the U.S. from April to August. Why honor on Feb. 27? We guess it makes sense that a month filled with heart-shaped food and bright red colors would dedicate a day to the strawberry. Peaks & Pints has a
Peaks and Pints New Beer in Stock 2.26.22 Whether you’ll be going to friends’ for a dinner party, going on a hike, or prefunking before or after one of the events listed in our recent 6-Pack of Things To Do, it’s best done with BEER!

If it were socially acceptable to drink beer in the morning, one with Amarillo hops would be the perfect way to start the day — combined with a balanced breakfast (of course). Amarillo provides a super-citrusy aroma verging on oranges, lively citrus flavor, and a medium-high bitterness, that is sure to wake the taste buds. The hop may seem as though they might be grown in the foothills of the Spanish Pyrennes but in fact come from Washington’s Virgil Gamache Farms. And while most strains can be propagated independently through the purchase of rhizomes, Amarillo is not one that you
Here’s Hoosier’s starting line-up at Peaks & Pints. Smoothie Sours Dairy: Hoosier Brewing A coach with a checkered past and a local drunk train a small-town high school basketball team to become a top contender for the championship. Wait! Wrong Hoosier! Hoosier Brewing runs the picket fence on the growing trend in independent beer: smoothie sours. These beers are often with so much fruit puree that they look less like beer than a thick smoothie. Unlike the 7-Eleven Slurpee, smoothie sours — or pastry sours — are kettle sours in which the wort is allowed to

6-Pack of Things To Do: February 25-27 2022 After a few days spent under your quilt watching Netflix (or CNN), you’re ready to go out again. Fortunately, this last weekend of February is full of interesting activities — from the Destiny City Film Festival to record release party to drunk local serial killer history. Cheers! MUSIC: Armed with husky harmonies, bluegrass instruments, and a heaping dose of one-liners, moonshinegrass band The Rusty Cleavers will rattle the empties at the Spanish Ballroom inside McMenamins Elks Temple in downtown Tacoma. The Rusty Cleavers is a working-class kind of band, combining the world
Stillwater Artisanal Ales is a brewery distinguished by its avant-garde, Belgian-inspired ales — with an emphasis on saisons, or farmhouse ales — and haute-couture labels, and the company’s founder, Brian Strumke, says he’s always looking to push himself further — in his goals or actual miles — to turn beer into art. Strumke has been a nomad. Whether in Stratford, Connecticut at Two Roads Brewing or Baltimore, Maryland at Of Love and Regret, Stillwater functioned as more of a living organism than a brewery, led by Strumke’s wanderlust to go wherever the road, beer or art takes him. In 2018,
It snowed! And although the totals in Tacoma, at least, weren’t much, the weather is a good reminder that it’s Peaks and Pints Escape To Stout Mountain, a February Stout Month celebration with all the things you’d expect: powerlifters with snarky comments, scads of barrel aged stouts to warm you; banished porters trying to sneak on draft; in-jokes for those who have actually climbed Stout Mountain near Salem; and lots of frenetic action in lieu of supply chain co-operation. In other words: A kick ass time! The Tacoma Proctor District craft beer lodge, bottle shop and restaurant has tapped six

It’s freakin’ freezing outside. You have bundled up kids in thermal wear, ski socks, turtlenecks, snow pants, parkas, waterproof gloves, hats, and scarves. You cut your hand while trying to climb over bikes in garage to get the deicer bags. You bleed profusely onto your white Bronco. Frighten children, who have fallen on a patch of ice, run back into the house with wet boots and undo the hours of bundling it just took to get them outside for five minutes. You realize that these are hours of your life that you will never get back. You call your spouse

Abbey beers are that family of beers originally brewed by monks dating back to the Middle Ages, Peaks and Pints suspects, but certainly a common feature of monastic brewing from the 19th century forward. Included in that family is the dubbel — a medium-strength amber/brown ale that serves as a great platform for lots of fantastic malt flavors and fermentation characteristics, along with some supporting herbal/earthy hops. Dark fruit, burnt sugar, citrus esters, clove, a touch of banana and more all feature in what ends up being a surprisingly dry beer. It’s week four of Merchant du Vin’s “Trappist Tuesday”

Chai, the Hindi word for tea, is the focus of this week’s Peaks and Pints Monday Cider Flight. A native product of India, masallah chai tea first hit the U.S. during the 1960s, when those seeking enlightenment in India would return with, if nothing else, a new beverage. Hippies first made the tea trend popular in Colorado and Santa Cruz, which is why sometimes it’s called yogi tea. Chai is also called Indian railway tea, a reference to the influx of Indians used by British colonialists to build railroads in Africa. Origin aside, chai can fill a room with whispers

The Bruery’s Bakery: Banana Nut Muffin arrived at Peaks & Pints this week. So, let’s go bananas with a banana to-go beer flight today! Yes, of course, there’s a hefeweizen in this beer flight as the top-fermenting Bavarian yeast Torulaspora delbrueckii, which German brewers refers to as the “proper” hefeweizen yeast, produces phenols and esters that impart banana flavors. WLP300 yeast is also used in the production of traditional, authentic hefeweizen. It produces a high level of isoamyl acetate, giving the resulting beer notes of banana. We also threw in said stout and, duh, Banana Bread Beer, plus other beers

Cosmic Crisp apple is the work of 20 years of study and research by Washington State University, resulting in a classically bred hybrid of Enterprise and Honeycrisp apples that’s large, round, crisp, and super juicy apple. “When fermented, the aromatics that are released from the Cosmic Crisp apples are truly unique,” said Dave Takush, 2 Towns Ciderhouse head cidermaker in a press release. “Strong notes of white currant and pineapple blossom off a platinum-colored cider that is as crisp and sparkling as you could imagine. People can make all the interstellar puns they want, but this is truly a unique
Peaks & Pints co-owner Ron Swarner learns from Old Schoolhouse brewers Kyra Yanny and Ryan Rust. Between Peaks: Hiking with Old Schoolhouse Beer Hiking is one of the simplest, purest, most pleasurable things you can do. At walking speed, you can enjoy things, such as wildflowers, the gentle flow of a stream, or even the wind playing through the leaves of a tree, things you might not notice driving or even bicycling. But in Washington state, where we have such things as The Enchantments, Alpine Lakes Wilderness, and the Cascade Mountain Range, the fine becomes the

Washingtonians who knew Facebook existed on Feb. 5, 2006 introduced F-bombs to the social media platform. They had just watched the Steelers steal Super Bowl XL from the Seahawks with the help of some shockingly one-sided officiating. Mike Pereira, the NFL supervisor of officiating, wasn’t logged on because left the country for Costa Rica. Seahawks fans replayed their TiVo recordings of the fishy calls repeatedly in disappointment and disgust. Phantom flags! Imaginary touchdowns! Jerramy Stevens dropped passes! Even Seahawks Coach Mike Holmgren blamed the referees for the loss. Super Bowl LVI will hit the Peaks & Pints screens this afternoon. Last

Mike Klucznik and his wife, Sheila Mullen, opened farm brewery Fat Orange Cat Brew Co. in East Hampton, Connecticut, on Aug. 13, 2016. The longtime homebrewer Klucznik wasn’t a cat person until he met Mullen’s orange-and-white feline, Billy, whose memory now lives on with the brewery. Before they launched Fat Orange Cat, Klucznik worked as a CPA and Mullen as an American Sign Language teacher. Klucznik’s homebrewing medals began to pile up so they opened the brewery as a place to store the medals — and showcase his talents. Today, Klucznik, as brewmaster, works with head brewer Carla Waclawski to

The triple IPA is a palate-smashing beast of an ale designed for those times when a hazy IPA simply won’t cut it. Yet, the style still isn’t recognized — and debate rages among the pimpliest of beer nerds over whether it’s a style at all. Peaks & Pints believes the triple IPA is a massively hoppy beer of 10 percent ABV and greater with outrageous amounts of dry hops, hop flavor, malt flavor, alcohol, and bitterness. The triple IPA may be similar to a double IPA in hop character, but is differentiated from the style by a thick, syrupy body
Like many brewers, Kyle Larsen got his start at Full Sail Brewing. Then, in 2010, he walked across the street to Double Mountain Brewery and became head brewer for two other Full Sail alums — Matt Swihart and Charlie Devereaux — while earning a Masters in Brewing Science and Engineering from Heriot Watt University, a public research university based in Edinburgh, Scotland. After a long stint at Siren Craft Brew in the UK, Larsen returned to the Columbia Gorge to add his talent to Thunder Island Brewing, followed by an interim head brewing tour at Trap Door Brewing in Vancouver,
