Drinkin’ It Up with Firestone Walker

Growing up surrounded by vineyards and winemakers, Adam Firestone (of Firestone Vineyard) always had an interest in combining the family business with beer making. He found the perfect business partner in his brother-in-law David Walker and the two founded Firestone Walker Brewing Company in 1996. In addition to winning gobs of medals for individual brews, these obnoxiously talented brewers from Paso Robles California, often take home the major hardware at competitions like the Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup — titles such as “Brewery of the Year” or “Brewer of the Year.” Peaks & Pints would be hard-pressed to think of a more deservedly decorated outfit than Firestone Walker. Peaks & Pints would be hard-pressed to think of a more awesome beer executive Kent Wetzler, whom now reps Firestone Walker. We’re combining our two loves into one tap takeover night, “Drinkin’ It Up with Firestone Walker”, 5 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 18 at Peaks & Pints in Tacoma’s Proctor District. Expect cellared beers. Expect good times. Cheers!

DRINKIN’ IT UP WITH FIRESTONE WALKER, 5-8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 18, Peaks & Pints, 3816 N. 26^th St., Basecamp Proctor, Tacoma, no cover
