Peaks and Pints Lunch with Our Mutual Friend

Thanks to XBP Limited Liquids distributor in Tacoma, Our Mutual Friend Brewing co-owners and brewers Brandon Proff and Jan Chodkowski will be touring Western Washington Thursday, Aug. 8, including an 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. lunch stop at Peaks & Pints in Tacoma’s Proctor District.

During the 2023 Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado, Peaks & Pints visited Our Mutual Friend Brewing, or OMF, in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood on Larimer Street. Founded in 2012, which makes it one of the oldest breweries in River North Art District, or RiNo, and while our first impression of the taproom was a carefully curated combination of hipster cool, industrial chic, and your British uncle’s library and faux nonchalance, it would be a mistake to call OMF just another neo-beatnik hangout. The award-winning outfit — numerous GABF medals, including a gold medal for Saison Trystero and silver medal for Biere Ovale in 2022, and a 2018 gold medal for Saison Trystero at World Beer Cup — roasts its own malt, making its grain-to-glass philosophy unique in the rapidly expanding Denver beer market and lending an impressive freshness to its brews.

In addition to several OMF beers on tap, Peaks & Pints will also offer an all-day, in-house OMF beer flight Aug. 8.
