BEER FLIGHT: Surly Brewing doesn’t settle. It’s what drove them to change the laws of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, to allow breweries. It’s what drove them to convert a Brooklyn Center abrasives factory to a brewery in 2005. It’s what drove owner/veteran brewmaster Todd Haug to brew the aggressive, addictively bitter Furious IPA flagship. It’s what drove Surly’s owner, Omar Ansari, to go bar to bar, asking them to carry our beer. It’s what drove them to earn medals from the Great American Beer Festival and Best Brewery in America honors. It’s what drove them to build a state-of-the-art destination brewery in the heart of the Twin Cities in 2014. It’s what drove them to launched a charitable arm, Surly Gives A Damn, and start organizing volunteer events around the Twin Cities. It what drove them to open a market in Washington state. It’s what still drives them today. Stop by Peaks & Pints and grab a to-go flight of Surly beer, a flight we call Peaks and Pints Pilot Program: Surly On the Fly. 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., 3816 N. 26th St., Basecamp Proctor, Tacoma

ALL THE CARDS: Who doesn’t want to have a sneak peek into the future? Taking a glimpse of your future, your love life seems very magical and unusual but what if it can become true. What if it is possible to gain insight into your “before,” “now” and “after.” Tarot card reading is such a method that uses a deck of cards to make predictions, the predictions based on your past and present, and how your “now” will impact your future, how your love life will evolve in the future, and how your present relationships will move on the roller coaster of life. In simple words, tarot card reading is a form of fortune-telling. Crescent Moon Gifts has 400 different Tarot, Oracle, Lenormand, Runes, Affirmations, Boxed Sets, Special Editions, Minis, and Tins in stock. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., 6901 6th Ave., Tacoma

TACOMA LIGHT TRAIL: “See the Cow (pt 2)” by Tacoma band Mr. Blackwatch will fill your ears as you take in Steve Buchanan’s light installation at Alchemy Skateboarding in Tacoma’s Triangle District. The song, off Mr. Blackwatch’s new indie rock album, Mary, Me, is about the absurdist, symbolical and fun start to the journey of the hero Mary as she navigates the obstacles to fulfilling her artistic dreams. Buchanan’s cut-outs and back lighting turns the upstairs windows at Alchemy into the perfect expression of their weightless perfection. It’s all part of the Tacoma Light Trail — a free exhibition of light installations — with available music, poetry or sound to pair off the Echoes sound app. 5-9 p.m., through Jan. 24, Alchemy Skateboarding, 311 S. 7th St., Tacoma, tacomalittrail.com, Echoes sound app
