Peaks & Pints Tacoma Sandwich Special: Tropic Thunder

Share
Meet Tropic Thunder: ham, cheddar, pickled pineapple, oranges, guava vinegar, onion, and arugula crashing into French bread like a tropical storm in a deli case. Paired with Westbound & Down Juice Caboose Hazy IPA, which boasts all mango-citrus haze and juicy bravado, it’s a riot of sweet, salty, tangy, and bitter flavors that somehow sing in harmony.

Peaks & Pints Tacoma Sandwich Special: Tropic Thunder

Tuesday, August 19, 2025: Some sandwiches just want to pick a fight. Peaks & Pints Kitchen Jorgen’s Tropic Thunder throws ham and Beecher’s cheddar into the ring, then blindsides them with pickled pineapple, oranges, guava vinegar, onion, and arugula on French bread. It’s salty, cheesy, citrusy chaos—the kind of tropical fever dream you didn’t know you needed until it’s dripping down your fingers, tasting like a Hawaiian vacation that made a wrong turn into a deli.

PAIRING: Westbound & Down Brewing Juice Caboose

And what better co-star than Westbound & Down’s Juice Caboose, a hazy IPA that’s practically glowing with mango, pineapple, and citrus? Its juicy hop wallop surfs alongside the pineapple and orange, while its soft haze body reins in the ham and cheddar’s heft. Together, it’s sweet-savory symphony, fruit-hop fireworks, a train worth riding all the way to flavor town.

Available all day today at Peaks & Pints. Climb aboard the Juice Caboose—your Tropic Thunder ticket is waiting.

SOUP: Chickpea & Lentil
