Peaks and Pints Prefunk: Nightmare Before Niros

Peaks & Pints Prefunk

With ravenous passion for horror flicks and death metal and a disdain for cookie-cutter IPAs, Billy Powell’s Nightmare became real in December 2018. He founded the Long Island-based, but not based, Nightmare Brewing Company. Powell honed his homebrewing skills Sand City Brewing in Northport, New York, under the tutelage of owner Bill Kiernan. Next, Powell hit the road, literally, s a gypsy brewer, using other brewery’s facilities to produced his torture-themed craft beer. His first beer came out of South Bay Brewery in Bay Shore, New York. Today, he’s brewing at Dorchester Brewing in Boston, sourcing expensive ingredients from around the world, which adds a few cents to his can retail prices.

Grab these three Nightmare Brewing cans from the Peaks & Pints cooler to enjoy inside our craft beer and cider bar, bottle shop and restaurant in Tacoma’s Proctor District, or take home to enjoy before and after Niros set.
