Peaks And Pints: A Barleywine Carol 2024

We all grew up with Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Whether we read the book, watched the movies, or caught a theatrical production of the age-old story, a holiday season didn’t get by us without Ebeneezer Scrooge making an appearance. And whatever your preferred method of dosing on Dickens was, it would be an injustice and probably land you on that weird jolly guy’s naughty list, if you skipped A Barleywine Carol at Peaks & Pints in Tacoma’s Proctor District. OK, the title is Peaks & Pints: A Barleywine Carol 2024, which is acceptable since it sure as hell isn’t Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Our version retains none of the literary classic than might reasonably be expected, although it’s also accurate to state that a key ingredient of the novel — namely, its humanist spirit — will largely present, as town folk enjoy our barleywine tap takeover from open to close Monday, Dec. 23, leaving plenty of time for the Three Spirits to visit those who need a spirit bump before Christmas morning.

PEAKS AND PINTS: A BARLEYWINE CAROL 2024, 11 a.m. Monday, Dec. 23, 3816 N. 26^th St., Basecamp Proctor, Tacoma, no cover
