Let’s drink a vertical of barnyard funk and enjoy 6-Pack of Things To Do: Saturday October 3 2020!

ORVAL DAY: Peaks & Pints joins the top beer bars from across the globe in celebrating Orval Day 2020 today. One of the most important beers to ever come out of Belgium, Orval Trappist Ale is an amber-hued Belgian pale ale that is dry-hopped, then finished with Brettanomyces. Intensely aromatic and dry, this one-of-a-kind beer is as complex as it is unique. One of only 12 officially recognized Trappist breweries across the world; all Orval beer is brewed within the walls of Notre Dame d’Orval Monastery. The alluring complexity of this iconoclastic beer has made it a world classic, one that has inspired a generation of brewers across the globe to craft bone-dry beers of mixed-fermentation. By participating in this event, you are also contributing to a great cause. On this day, Orval will donate 50 cents from each bottle sold to the Safe Water Network, which provides clean, sustainable water to Ghana and India. Stop by Peaks & Pints and take home 2018 and 2019 vintage Orval bottles can compare the years. 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Peaks & Pints, 3816 N. 26th St., Basecamp Proctor, Tacoma
