When a pirate says Avast, they’re trying to get your attention. You should pay attention to Slaughter County Brewing Co. in Port Orchard. Scott Kirvan’s spent 30 years homebrewing before opening his pirate-themed brewery in 2012. When he wasn’t developing software; he was brewing in his garage. After he sold his software company, he took a few years off before diving into developing Slaughter County Brewing, named after Kitsap County’s original name, Slaughter County. He brews his craft beers with a beautiful view of Sinclair Inlet, which separates his brewhouse from Bremerton.

Peaks and Pints will pour four Slaughter County craft beers at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 20. Kirvin will walk onto our 1940’s fir wood floor with his Gorst Pilsner Style Ale, Midwest style Ol’ One Eye IPA, Luna Negra Blackberry Wit and a firkin of Bondsmans Bitter ESB.

PEAKS AND PINTS: Hey Scott!

SCOTT KIRVIN: What?

PEAKS AND PINTS: What’s a pirate’s favorite aspect of computational linguistics?

KIRVIN: Hmmm … what?

PEAKS AND PINTS: PARRRsing sentences.
