Worship Steeplejack at Peaks and Pints

Here’s the church and there’s the steeple.
Open the door, Jack, and see all the beer-drinking people.

Peaks & Pints will host Steeplejack Brewing at 4 p.m. Friday, April 7 in Tacoma’s Proctor District. We’ll have several Steeplejack beers on tap and in the cooler with Steeplejack Director of Sales and longtime craft beer veteran Tim Ensign in the house.

Portland, Oregon, is home to an abundance of old church buildings. Their spires front the hilly backdrop and skyline, adding to each neighborhood’s unique fabric. Changes in the city dynamics, though, have left many of these architectural stunners empty, abandoned, and crumbling. Across the city, though, several of these old buildings have experienced a revitalization where they’ve been repurposed for other uses — born again, including a 1909 church on the corner of Northwest Broadway and 24th, a tall, craftsman-era chapel made of Pacific Northwestern fir and cedar that now is a church of fermentation. In 2019, Brody Day and Dustin Harder converted the church into Steeplejack Brewing, a brewery, taproom, and restaurant that still looks like a church — a very cool church. The building’s stained-glass windows loom above the brewery’s tanks and bar, and pews serve as banquettes for the wooden tables at the center of the space. It’s glorious.

Stop by Peaks & Pints Friday afternoon, April 7, and worship Steeplejack at Peaks and Pints.
