In 2018, art took Stillwater Artisanal Ales founder Brian Strumke to Seattle, where he met Matt Storm, owner of The Masonry, the man known for his intensely curated beer list and wood-fired pizza. In 2020, the pandemic paused Strumke’s nomadic lifestyle and, allowing him to dive into Storm’s concept for a new brewery, Fast Fashion. The duo began brewing a series of small batch beers paired with a smart, fashionable Instagram account. Today, Fast Fashion celebrates their fourth anniversary with a good, old-fashion prom with prom photos, lunch lady square pizzas, beer specials, dance party and karaoke. If you can’t make it up to Seattle with your prom date, consider celebrating with a Fast Fashion beer flight at Peaks & Pints — a flight we’re calling Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: Fast Fashion Fourth Anniversary.
