Remember when Restoration Hardware recalled 12,000 Sock Monkeys after it was discovered that sewing needles had ended up inside some of the creepy chimps. We can’t quite recall but didn’t Restoration Hardware, in an effort to recoup some losses, resell the needles as Vintage Salem Polished Satin Pins at $25 apiece? Probably not. We can say with confidence that the sock monkey that will be used for Iron Horse Brewery’s Sock Monkey Challenge at Peaks and Pints won’t be dangerous.

Peaks and Pints will hold a lodge meeting focusing on Iron Horse Brewery, and by focus Peaks and Pints means drinking a bunch of the Ellensburg brewery’s craft beers, including Double Rainbow IRA and the new Beer Wolf IPA. Expect door prizes.

PEAKS AND PINTS LODGE MEETING WITH IRON HORSE BREWERY, 6 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 9, Peaks and Pints, 3816 N. 26th St., Basecamp Proctor, Tacoma, no cover
