Peaks and Pints Spelling Bee-r

Peaks and Pints Spelling Bee-r
The two winning words from this year’s Scripps National Spelling Bee were “haecceitas” and “koinonia,” words that you’ve probably never heard before and very likely never read again. And that’s the problem with most spelling bees: The terms being spelled out have no purpose in everyday life. Peaks and Pints Spelling Bee-r solves this by putting the focus on craft beer — something every adult should know a lot about.
Peaks and Pints will host Left Hand Brewing Thursday, Sept. 13 for a Spelling Bee-r challenge, as well as pouring the Longmont, Colorado brewery’s craft beer from our Western red cedar tap log. Wannabe competitors should approach the Left Hand booth, ask for a Spelling Bee-r ticket, grab it with his or her left hand and wait for the ticket’s number to be called. Left Hand Sales executive Colin Corpe will host the contest, handing out major awards every round.
One of the highlights of the night will be Left Hand’s Juicy Goodness Golden Ale on draft. Hoppy and light with a tingly mouthfeel and fruity hop characteristics, this beer is perfect for the hophead and hop-averse. Other beers include Wake Up Dead Imperial Stout, Nitro Milk Stout and an India Pale Ale.
