Back in the day when a phone call cost 25 cents and we had to walk seven miles through the snow just to get a replacement ribbon for our typewriters — the new year meant heading to the office-supply store to buy a new planner for the upcoming months. These days, most people keep their calendars online so that their phones can automatically remind them of what’s going on that day. But no matter how you keep your schedule, map out your upcoming special events on your calendar while enjoying Peaks and Pints 2024 New Year’s Eve Beer Flight. What will be your event notification for today? “Don’t forget Peaks and Pints closes at 8 p.m. tonight and be sure to grab a six-pack for tonight.”
Peaks and Pints 2024 New Year’s Eve Beer Flight
E9 Brewing Argy Bargy
3.8% ABV
Berliner weisse is a rare thing: a sour beer, intensely flavored and the embodiment of refreshment. Its tartness is generally mild; its carbonation high; its soft, wheaty flavor refreshing. E9 Brewing’s Berliner weisse, Argy Bargy, is an easy drinking, lightly tart and very high carbonation version.
3 Fonteinen Schaabeekse Kriek
6% ABV
Traditional Belgian lambic brewery and authentic geuze blender 3 Fonteinen’s Schaabeekse Kriek fruit lambic begins with macerating hand-picked Schaarbeekse cherries on young traditional lambic for at least one year, blended with young lambic and bottles, and then matures for another year at least in the bottle.
de Garde The Blackberry
6.8% ABV
Tillamook, Ore., is a sleepy, remote, and often damp coastal town 74 miles west of Portland. It smells of sea air and dairy farms. It’s also home to founder and head brewer Trevor Rogers’ de Garde Brewing, whose singular focus is spontaneously fermented, barrel-aged beers. The brewery, found near the Tillamook Air Museum’s massive blimp hangar, lets their beer naturally ferment in an open-air cool ship, letting wild yeast descend from the Oregon Coast air. de Garde’s The Blackberry is a spontaneous wild ale blended from 2 years aged in oak barrels with blackberries.
Block 15 Framboise Claret
7.8% ABV
Block 15 Brewing’s celebration of the Willamette Valley grown black cap and red raspberries features a blend of spontaneously fermented wild ales matured over a year in oak barrels and conditioned on NW fruit. Expect striking berry character with a tart and fruity balance.
The Ale Apothecary Orobas
7.75% ABV
The Orobas represents beers The Ale Apothecary ferments with equal parts barley and honey, honoring the early, mystical root of brewing. They combine their wort with raw honey in barrels and allowed the wild yeast in the honey to start fermentation. After 22 months they transferred the beer into Pinot Noir grape pomace from Domaine Drouhin in a couple of their barrels and bottled 7 months later.
