Matchless and Kulshan release Cold Illumination IPA

It’s going to be cold at Peaks & Pints on Dec. 20. Really cold. It’s true. The mercury will drop 15 degrees turning toes to ice, numbing faces, and ears will fall completely off, and with blue, chattering lips buried beneath nine layers of fleece, people will say this is the absolute coldest they have ever felt in their entire lives, despite the fact it will be 72 degrees inside Peaks & Pints on that Tuesday. You see Matchless Brewing and Kulshan Brewing have seen the light! And it’s cold. The two Washington breweries brewed Cold Illumination, a cold IPA, and will release it Dec. 20 at Peaks.

Don’t worry. Matchless and Kulshan won’t give you a cold shoulder. They’ll be in the house with warm thoughts and slightly warmer beers from each of their breweries, although those beers will also be mighty cold.

COLD ILLUMINATION IPA RELEASE PARTY, 5-8 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 20, Peaks & Pints, 3816 N. 26th St., Basecamp Proctor, Tacoma, no cover
