Beer For Clean Air Mountain Festival

Think mountain climbing in Washington state and the mind naturally gravitates to Mount Rainier. No other mountain within the contiguous United States is as extensively glaciated or has as much prominence. Climb for Clean Air is an exclusive mountaineering training and fundraising program designed to give you the training, technical support and guide services you need to summit magnificent mountains safely, including Mt. Rainier.

Peaks and Pints has converted its annual Mountain Beer Fest into the annual Beer For Clean Air Mountain Festival, a fundraiser for American Lung Association’s Climb for Clean Air, which will be held Saturday, May 4 inside our craft beer bar, bottle shop and restaurant in Tacoma’s Proctor District. Bonus: Peaks and Pints co-owner Ron Swarner is participating in the Climb For Clean Air climb to the top of Mt. Rainier June 27. Please help him raise money for the American Lung Association and his journey up the mountain at beerforcleanir.com. Swarner has dealt with exercise-induced asthma since the mid-’90s. Climbing 14,411 feet up to the summit seems daunting with impaired lungs, but he finds comfort climbing with the American Lung Association.

Stay tuned for the mountain beers line-up!

Chances are you know someone who has faced the challenges of asthma, COPD, lung cancer or air pollution. By making a donation to beerforcleanair.com on Swarner’s behalf, you will be helping the American Lung Association provide community based education programs, fight for cleaner air standards and fund life-saving research. With your help, we will fight against lung disease and for lung health.

Cheers!
