Peaks and Pints Tree-dimensional IPA can release

Kulshan Brewing didn’t stuff an entire Christmas tree into a 12-ounce can, but close. The Bellingham brewery has canned their Peaks and Pints new house beer, Tree-dimensional IPA, capturing the harmonious blend of Simcoe, Idaho 7, CTZ, Centennial, and whole leaf Cascade in the hop back for all the pine, a little citrus, plus creamy mouthfeel and bitter finish for easy-drinking around holiday backyard bonfires or cross-country skiing outings. Peaks and Pints will host a Tree-D can-release party at 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14.

A percentage of Tree-dimensional IPA draft sales from 6 p.m. until close Dec. 14 will benefit Tacoma Tree Foundation, a local organization striving for a greener, healthier, more connected Tacoma — which plants well with Peaks and Pints.

Many of our guests, and most of our staff, would feel two-dimensional without regular tree hugs. We’re all aware trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen back into the atmosphere during photosynthesis. Trees also shelter wildlife, make kick ass forts with fallen branches, free heat while camping, hold up hammocks, and, most importantly, add beauty to our adventures. For these reasons, and many more, Peaks and Pints dubbed our new, old school, pine-forward house IPA brewed by Kulshan Brewing — Tree-dimensional IPA.

South Sounders love their craft beer, and a six-pack of Kulshan Tree-dimensional IPA wrapped in ribbon makes for a happy surprise on Christmas morning.

PEAKS AND PINTS TREE-DIMENSIONAL IPA CAN RELEASE, 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, 3816 N. 26^th St., Basecamp Proctor, Tacoma, no cover
