Celebrate Great Notion’s 10th Anniversary in Tacoma
Celebrate Great Notion’s 10th Anniversary in Tacoma
Great Notion didn’t just make hazy IPA popular; they normalized the idea that beer could taste like blueberry muffin, pancake syrup, tropical static, breakfast-table witchcraft — and still be taken seriously. Ripe has been there since the beginning, a kind of soft, citrus-lit cornerstone that went on to earn national praise and quietly anchor the chaos.
The official 10th Anniversary blowout lands Saturday, June 27, 2026, at Great Notion’s NW 28th location in Portland — a full-scale celebration with 40-plus beers, barrel-aged and vintage pours, limited anniversary releases, throwbacks, music, food, and the kind of joyful excess that only a decade of doing exactly what you want can produce.
Which makes May 7 in Tacoma something else entirely — the prelude, the gathering point, the moment before the road trip. Peaks & Pints’ 5-8 p.m. celebration becomes the South Sound’s version of a quiet ignition, where you raise a glass not just to what Great Notion has been, but to the strange, flavorful, slightly unhinged path it helped carve.
Come toast the weird. Come honor the juice. Come remember when IPA went cloudy and everyone, just for a minute, agreed that maybe this was the better way.
