Peaks and Pints Hop Roast Coffee Beer Festival

Coffee: is there anything it can’t do? From fueling all-nighters to banishing hangovers, or simply making mornings more bearable, this magical brewed elixir can even improve beers as you’ll discover at Peaks and Pints Hop Roast Coffee Beer Festival Friday, Nov. 16.

Mixing caffeine and alcohol is nothing especially new, of course. Beyond Irish coffee and Four Loko, brewers have been slowly working coffee into the DNA of craft beer, too. Java stouts and coffee porters are now as ubiquitous as American pale ales and Imperial IPAs.

Peaks and Pints will celebrate the unification of coffee and beer when we present our Hop Roast Coffee Beer Festival from morning to night Friday, Nov.16 at our little lodge in Tacoma’s Proctor District.

Beginning at 11 p.m. and running to 11 p.m. we’ll be pouring a killer list of coffee beers, as well as coffee from Tacoma’s Bluebeard Coffee Roasters. Coffee beers pouring include Prairie Bomb!, Three Magnets Coffee Cinnamon Stout, New Belgium Coffee Cocoa Stout, Lagunitas Willetized Coffee Stout, AleSmith Vietnamese Speedway and others.

No admission charge. Your choice of 10-ounce or 16-ounce pours, unless the alcohol by volume is too high for 16s. Flights of five, 5-ounce pours will also be available.
