Double Mountain finally goes to cans (without ditching refillable). Mashing-In News: Double Mountain Cans, Kilt Lifter Whiskey Release GOOD MORNING, SOUTH PUGET SOUND! Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026 — Alan Alda turns 90 today! Today’s craft beer news bounces from cans and refillables to open-air festivals and winter haze, mixing sustainability moves, deep-cut collaborations, agricultural reality checks, and just enough bear-poop absurdity to remind us it’s still very much 2026. Double Mountain Finally Goes to Cans Without Abandoning Refillables Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery is entering cans for the first time with Hop Lion IPA, Dry Cider,
National Chocolate Cake Day doesn’t arrive quietly. It shoulder-checks January 27 wearing a cocoa-dusted crown, dragging a backstory that starts in the 18th century when chocolate first elbowed its way into European baking, flirted harder with sugar in Victorian England, and eventually went full American maximalist with layered sponge, fudge frosting, and zero apologies. This is the holiday that crowns chocolate not as garnish or polite whisper, but as a full-bodied, soul-humming main character — a day invented by dessert anarchists and pastry romantics who looked at restraint and said, cute idea, no. It’s about richness, ritual, indulgence, and that

Photo courtesy of NOAA The Daily Outside: Sharks, FeederWatch & Tuesday Night Miles Today’s Outside doesn’t start on a trail. It starts under the waterline. It starts in the cold, dark, quietly breathing interior of Puget Sound — where sharks older than your favorite mountain range are still doing ecosystem work while we argue about parking and oat milk. Yes. Sharks. Here. In Tacoma’s backyard. The Salish Sea hosts roughly a dozen shark species, including the Pacific spiny dogfish —
Firestone Walker turns 30 with anniversary beers, refreshed packaging, major events, and a new generation stepping into leadership.

Today’s craft beer news pours a heady mix of consolidation, celebration, and innovation — from a major Oregon distribution shakeup to milestone anniversaries at Firestone Walker, Stone, and Half Acre, plus new hop tech chasing the NA and hop-water boom.

6-Pack of Things To Do in Tacoma Jan. 26–Feb. 1, 2026 This is a week that looks winter dead in the eyes, flicks ash into a snifter, hands a pencil to your restless fingers, invites plants to explain the apocalypse politely, unleashes a multi-genre dance-floor riot, and then seals the whole fever dream with chapel blues, live jazz, and velvet-black stout—proof that Tacoma doesn’t hibernate so much as ferment, improvise, and glow in the dark. Drinks & Draw at Peaks & Pints | Monday, Jan. 26 Monday night quietly slips off its shoes and becomes something gentler as Tacoma Drinks
Founded in Wenatchee, right in the heart of Washington apple country, Yonder Ciuder built its identity around real fruit, real farms, and a stubborn belief that structure matters as much as flavor. From the beginning, the project has been about bridging two worlds: the agricultural soul of Central Washington and the creative pulse of Seattle, translating orchard character into ciders that feel honest, modern, and quietly adventurous. Along the way, Yonder earned its reputation by letting apples lead the conversation, using red-fleshed varieties, heritage fruit, and subtle botanicals not as gimmicks, but as ways to deepen texture, nuance, and mood.
February becomes a month-long dark-beer saga in Tacoma, with rotating realms of stouts, barrel-aged beasts, rare pours, flights, pairings, and a grand finale takeover designed to carry winter one snifter at a time. Mashing-In News: February Stout Month, pFriem Goes Tropical GOOD MORNING, SOUTH PUGET SOUND! Monday, Jan. 26, 2026 — Wayne Gretzky turns 64 today! Today’s craft beer news pours like a full-spectrum sampler — from Tacoma summoning a stout-fueled winter fantasy and pFriem going full tropical on its 2026 vision, to a transpacific pilsner collab for Japan’s biggest beer stage and Cloudburst dragging the
Binoculars up, ears open, wonder engaged — the Beginning Birders Walk at Adriana Hess Wetland Park turns a quiet Monday morning into a slow-motion revelation, where sparrows become celebrities, herons steal the scene, and even the most ordinary branch suddenly feels like front-row seating to a very small, very excellent nature documentary. The Daily Outside: Birders, Fleeters, Meeters Monday arrives like a soft reset button disguised as a to-do list — birds whispering secrets in a wetland, sneakers thudding gentle rebellion into cold pavement, and a boardroom quietly deciding the future of your favorite trees. Gentlest,
There are seven realms in the Stoutdoms, but only one rules the tap log each week. The others show up as flights, bottles, nitro pours, weird side-quest beers, and secret unlocks. It’s like a fantasy series, but with more lactose. Peaks & Pints February Stout Month 2026: The Seven Stoutdoms February arrives like it always does: cold, gray, emotionally confusing, full of promises you made in January and are now actively pretending not to remember. Your running shoes are lost again. Your kombucha phase is over. Your inbox is louder than a sour beer festival. Your
When the Seahawks and Rams crash into each other under the lights at Lumen Field, it’s not merely football, it’s tectonics: divisional grudges, rubber-match tension, West Coast weather drama, and 70,000 lungs weaponized into civic thunder. This is the kind of game where every third down feels like a town-hall meeting, where momentum swings register in knees and beer cups, and where the 12th Man isn’t a slogan so much as an audible force that bends time, rattles quarterbacks, and reminds visiting teams they’ve wandered into a very loud cathedral of noise and nerve. Which is exactly why Peaks &
Fleet Feet Tacoma, where good intentions lace up at sunrise, coffee waits on the other side of the run, and every mile starts with a front door that quietly believes in you more than you do. The Daily Outside: Rise & Run, Bird Walk, Winter Camping Demo Day 1.25.26 Sunday’s Daily Outside braids sweat, wings, and winter grit into one very Tacoma day — a dawn run to set intentions, a forest wander to borrow some bird-brained calm, and a full-day gear immersion for anyone flirting with the beautiful madness of sleeping in snow.

Snowshoes on, pace slowed, senses turned up — a ranger-led wander at Mount Rainier where winter does the talking and every step feels like a quiet conversation with the mountain. Photo courtesy of Rainier Guest Services The Daily Outside: Winter Wonder Walks, Mt. Rainier Snowshoe 1.24.26 Saturday’s Daily Outside turns winter into both classroom and playground — with naked trees whispering secrets in Lincoln Park, kid-led wonder rippling through Swan Creek, and Mount Rainier offering a slow, snowshoe sermon on patience, scale, and why we keep showing up even when it’s cold and damp and absolutely
Fresh cans landed, and this New Beer Six-Pack is doing laps around your winter mood board — hazy citrus storms, sleek West Coast swagger, golden calm, velvet-dark brooding, and crisp pilsner clarity all sharing the same cold shelf. Peaks & Pints New Beer Six-Pack 1.23.26 Today’s New Beer Six-Pack arrives like a kaleidoscope of winter moods — hazy citrus storms colliding with golden calm, sleek West Coast swagger, velvet-dark contemplation, and crisp pilsner clarity — a reminder that January still knows how to throw a very good party.

Pilsner was born in a moment of liquid rebellion. In 1842, in the Bohemian town of Plzeň, frustrated drinkers hired a Bavarian-trained brewer, handed him soft local water, pale malt, and Saaz hops, and accidentally invented the future. What rolled out of the cellar was shockingly clear, golden, crisp, and bitter in a world still drowning in murky ales — a beer that looked like sunlight and drank like precision. The Industrial Revolution did the rest, spreading this new style across rail lines, borders, and eventually the globe, until “pilsner” stopped being a place-name and became a promise: clean fermentation,

Grit & Grain meets the TNT Diner — the podcast crew outside Peaks & Pints with Kristine Sherred, talking beer, food, Tacoma, and the fine art of telling a city’s story one honest bite and sip at a time. Mashing-In News: TNT Diner on Grit & Grain, Upcoming Beer Festivals GOOD MORNING, SOUTH PUGET SOUND! Friday, Jan. 23, 2025 — Richard Dean Anderson turns 76 today!

Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery’s story begins long before a tap handle ever turned. In 1999, founder Matt Swihart bought an orchard near Odell in the Hood River Valley, originally dreaming of a vineyard and winery before realizing his instincts lived more comfortably on the fermentation side of the fence. Two mountains framed that orchard — Mt. Hood to the south, Mt. Adams to the north — and the view earned a nickname that stuck: Double Mountain. When Swihart and future co-founder Charlie Devereux (the two met while working at Full Sail) opened a brewery in downtown Hood River on

Great Notion Brewing has never been interested in whispering, and this flight isn’t here to pretend otherwise. Peaks & Pints’ New Great Notion Flight is a decadent slide through a brewery that treats flavor like a maximalist art form — starting tart and flirtatious, drifting into plush haze, climbing into double-digit hop delirium, and finally landing face-first in dessert. In full color and zero restraint, this lineup reads less like a beer list and more like a sensory mixtape made by someone who refuses to skip the chorus. Consider it a guided tour through charm, saturation, excess, and chocolate-banana chaos,

The Daily Outside: Nisqually Land Trust, Puget Creek Trail 1.21.26 Wednesday’s Daily Outside drifts between saltwater grit and mossy quiet — a ferry ride to wrestle blackberry into retreat for the Nisqually watershed, followed by a slow, green exhale along Puget Creek where Tacoma keeps its wildness tucked into the folds.

IPA, in 2026, is no longer just a style — it’s a conversation, a negotiation between habit and hunger, between what sells easily and what still surprises us when we slow down long enough to notice. Better doesn’t always mean louder, juicier, or more familiar. Sometimes it means stranger hop bills, bitterness that remembers it once mattered, alcohol that behaves itself, and recipes that refuse to default to the same three letters printed on every can in the cooler. So this flight isn’t about chasing trends — it’s about poking at the edges of what IPA can still be when

The Daily Outside: Fleet Feet Run, FeederWatch … 1.20.26 Tuesday’s Daily Outside leans into the small, steady rituals that keep a week honest — moving your body on purpose, comparing notes with people who notice feathers and footprints, and letting familiar paths quietly absorb whatever mood you’re carrying.

Before the glasses fill and the orchard stories unfold at Peaks & Pints, the city gathers for something deeper, steadier, and necessary. Tacoma’s Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Commemoration at the Washington State History Museum is less a ceremony than a living reminder — a full day of reflection, art, and shared responsibility offered freely to the community, just as it should be. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the museum opens its doors wide, inviting all ages to step into history not as something sealed behind glass, but as something still breathing, still asking something of us.

January 18, 1920, is when Prohibition stops being a headline and becomes your kitchen. Your corner bar. Your uncle’s “perfectly normal” morning tonic. The 18th Amendment had technically gone into effect the day before, but this was the first full sunrise of legal dryness — the moment Americans woke up and realized the country had changed overnight. Not ceremonially. Not politely. Just abruptly. No more legal beer. No more legal wine. A brand-new rulebook sitting on the breakfast table, daring everyone to read the fine print. And the fine print was where things immediately got strange. The Volstead Act —

Baltic porter began life as a traveler, a dark beer with a passport full of cold stamps — and a secret it learned along the way. When English porters crossed the Baltic Sea in the 18th and 19th centuries, they encountered colder climates and lager-brewing cultures that valued patience over scorch, smoothness over bite. What emerged was a quiet evolution: a porter fermented cold, aged slow, and carried on a lager’s composed frame, imperial in strength but disciplined in posture. High gravity without aggression. Deep roast without acrid edges. Baltic porter learned early that darkness didn’t need to shout. It

Tallinn’s Põhjala Brewery arrived in 2011. Founded by a small group of Estonian brewers and creatives, the brewery took its name from the North itself and quickly developed a reputation for precision, imagination, and a deeply serious relationship with dark beer. Rather than dabbling, porters and stouts became a native language, shaped by regional sensibility, expanded through barrel aging, and guided by an instinct for balance even at high gravity. Over time, Põhjala grew into one of Europe’s most respected voices in strong, contemplative beer — rooted in place, fluent in tradition, and confident enough to bend styles without snapping

Today’s 30-Minute Tour doesn’t start with a stopwatch. It starts with a short stretch of I-5, a shared hop bill, and two breweries treating distance as an idea rather than a limit. Narrows Brewing was born in Tacoma in 2013 with bridges in its sightline and the working waterfront in its bones, a brewery that never confused “local” with small. From the outset, it leaned into beers meant to be lived with rather than merely admired — crisp lagers, steady ambers, hop-forward ales that knew how to behave without losing their spark. Matchless Brewing arrived in Tumwater in 2017 carrying

Winter beer news leans dark, nerdy, and quietly transformative today — from Fort George’s monthlong stout blackout and McMenamins’ frost-proof festivals to hop science, soil secrets, packaging existentialism, and the slow reshaping of what we drink, how we drink it, and why it tastes the way it does. Fort George Rings in Stout Month 2026 With 28 Days
Hefeweizen began as rebellion wrapped in comfort. In Bavaria, wheat beers were once restricted, then revived, then refined into something clouded, expressive, and unapologetically alive — beers where yeast was finally allowed to speak in full sentences. Banana, clove, soft citrus, fresh dough: these weren’t flaws to be scrubbed away but signatures to be nurtured, born of open fermentation, specific strains, and a belief that beer should feel human. German hefes prize balance and breath, fruit and spice in quiet conversation, sweetness held gently in check, carbonation lifting everything like a well-timed laugh. American interpretations tend to play with the

Ladd & Lass Brewing arrived in Seattle in 2021 wearing a friendly name and carrying an absolutely serious work ethic. Founded in the University District by Nick Ladd — aka The Ladd — and Jessie Quan — aka The Lass — the operation feels less like a business than a beautifully coordinated act of devotion. Nick is brewer, cellar dweller, delivery driver, nationally ranked BJCP judge, fermentation obsessive, former architect, and pug enthusiast, while Jessie handles marketing, design, labels, social media, taproom flow, canine greetings, and the quiet magic of making a space feel human, all while celebrating her birthday
