Peaks and Pints Shines Light on Reuben’s Brews

Need to brighten up your Thursday? Meet Larry Rock at Peaks & Pints in Tacoma’s Proctor District. When he visits your table, ask him about funk music, Alabama White Barbecue Sauce, Charles Finkel, George Hancock, Mike Hale, and, of course, Adam Robbings — four legendary Northwest brewery owners who hired Larry — the last and current position selling Robbings’ Reuben’s Brews beer, including the new Brighten Up IPA that brings us back to Thursday. Larry will be at Peaks & Pints from 5-8 p.m. Thursday discussing their new Brighten Up session IPA, their new Foreign Export Stout, their new Puffy IPA, a hazy with juicy notes of orchard fruit and sweet melon, and a few other Reuben’s beers on tap.

Tune-in to Grit & Grain Podcast Episode 67 to hear Larry discuss how he brewed the first beers at Pike but wasn’t the opening day brewer, how he helped launch breweries such as Chuckanut, pFriem, and Breakside, his thoughts on the state of diversity in the local beer scene before arriving at Peaks & Pints Thursday. Cheers!
