Peaks and Pints Tap List: Tuesday September 24 2019
Peaks & Pints, that sud-soaked sanctuary where 650 or so bottled and canned libations chill in monastic silence and 28 taps (including nitro, because velvet is a virtue) dispense liquid enlightenment, has always been about choice—fermented, caffeinated, oaked, wild, blessed. Yes, beer is the temple stone, but cider, wine, kombucha, and cold brew are not mere side quests—they are divine in their own right. Case in point: today’s revelation from Finnriver Farm & Cidery—Black Oak, a dark-fruited fever dream of a cider. It begins with bright, high-acid heirloom apples and gets alchemical fast, blending in fresh-pressed organic black currant wine from Agnew’s Tahlequah Farms and Winthrop’s Methow Wild Fruits, then aging the mix in American oak brandy barrels for nine months—because time, like fruit, is sacred when left to ferment properly. The result? Tart, sultry, vinous, complex—like sipping forest poetry in a velvet smoking jacket. Tap it. Bottle it. Worship it.
