Hey kids! Want to black out tonight? Then you’re in luck, cause Avery Brewing is bringing its demonically strong Mephistopheles Stout to the Parkway Tavern as part of the joint’s “Avery Demons of Ale” night. First brewed in 2005 as the third installment in Avery’s “Demons of Ale” series, it measures in at 14.5%. That’s evil. Take note Uber drivers: The tavern on Tacoma’s North Slope will also pour Avery’s other Demon beers — super-caramelly, oak-aged English-style strong ale Samael’s Oak-Aged Ale and the dates, plums, raisins and molasses rich The Beast Grand Cru. Other Avery ales to sip tonight include The Maharaja, The Kaiser, Ellie’s Brown Ale, Tweak Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout, Rumpkin and something called an India Pale Ale. Many Shuvs and Zuuls will know what it is to be roasted in the depths of the Slor tonight, we can tell you!

PARKWAY TAVERN, 6-9 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 14, 313 N. I st., Tacoma, 253.383.8748
