TACOMA PREFUNK FRIDAY, OCT. 13 2017: Boneyard Bone-a-fide and decades of rock
PREFUNK: Heavily influenced by Three Floyds, Boneyard’s Bone-a-fide pale is hoppy like an IPA but without the bitterness. The malts used to create the beer balance nicely with some of the Yakima Valley’s most bonafide dank hop varieties: Cascade, Centennial and Chinook. This medium bodied pale blasts of juicy hops for a citrus/tropical fruit presence with lots of grapefruit, mango, pineapple and orange peel sweetness that is countered by dry, bitter pine needle flavor. Peaks and Pints pours this pale from our Western red cedar tap log today.
5 P.M. CIDER NIGHT: Just as rosé was transformed almost overnight from an ugly duckling Franzia box to a glam “rosé all day” vino trend, cider has moved beyond the garage party sickly sweet bottles of Woodchuck and Angry Orchard. Dry, deliciously drinkable ciders are gaining traction in the craft beer market, and they’re also making their way into specialty nights at craft beer taverns. The Parkway Tavern’s Sean Appleseed Jackson will yank several beer taps for delicious ciders tonight.
9 P.M. FESTIVAL OF FRIENDS: The Swiss Restaurant and Pub hosts Festival of Friends Events, a live “mixtape” concert with a cast of rotating musicians as the evening’s entertainment. Tonight, it’s all about rock with songs from the 1960s-1990s including material by Cream, Janis Joplin, Bad Company, The Eagles, R.E.M., U2, The Offspring, The Breeders and many others.
