Firestone Walker 2019 Parabola and pals Peaks and Pints Six-Pack 4.9.19: Parabola and Pals THE WALDOS SPECIAL ALE, Lagunitas Brewing: The Waldos’ Special Ale landed today. The Petaluma, California brewery brews this seasonal triple IPA as a tribute to the Waldos, the group of kids who attended San Rafael High School in the early 1970s. The kids received their name because they would hang out leaning against a wall. The Waldos are most well known for being the founding fathers of 420. They created the slang term as a covert way to gather after school at
Consider the lager. Lagers are typically brewed at a low temperature to allow the yeast to reach its maximum flavor potential. The lower temperatures cause the lager to ferment at a much slower rate than ales. However, the results are a brew that is clearer than ales, which are brewed at higher temperatures. Lagers are brewed using the yeast called Saccharomyces uvarum. It does not rise to the top like the yeast used in ale but does end up at the bottom once fermentation is reached. This particular yeast does not sporulate as a result of being a more fragile yeast.
Tournament of Beer: Northwest Pilsners First Round April 9 RON SWARNER: Favorites or underdogs, Czech or German, Saaz or Hallertau hops — it’s all the same in the Tournament of Beer: Northwest Pilsners. In the end, brewers from Washington and Oregon have one chance to brew the perfect pilsner, to ensure that fermentation conditions can be met and stay well within the temperature boundaries of the yeast. Screw up the diacetyl rest near the end of primary fermentation and brewers are watching from the sideline — drinking a pilsner, of course. Sixty-four Northwest pilsners were selected and seeded by beer enthusiasts
“The “dry” category of cider is developing the way the IPA category did in beer. When people started shifting away from larger mass-produced light lagers, they shifted to a style of beer that was typically produced by microbreweries — the IPA. Today, beer lovers may gravitate toward a specific variety of hops — like Mosaic or Citra or Simcoe — but when the IPA started to become popular, that wasn’t the case. Cider finds itself in a similar place. There isn’t as much brand recognition for different apples, so consumers are gravitating toward a style of cider production instead. “Dry”
Tournament of Beer: Northwest Pilsners First Round April 8 RON SWARNER: During the month of February, we asked our Peaks and Pints patrons and the public to vote for their favorite pilsners brewed in Washington and Oregon. Through an online nomination system, beer enthusiasts listed 81 pilsners with the top 64 seeding the Tournament of Beer: Northwest Pilsners’ knockout bracket, which kicked off Friday when the first eight pilsners met on our wooden floor. This scenario continues Monday through Friday, until the tournament’s final game, April 27. PEAKS AND PINTS WEATHER GUY: My forecast calls for light rain this afternoon
You fancy, Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout Fancy Pants Sunday: Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout You know the drill. Make some beer, quit your job, start a beer business. It’s what Mike Stevens and Dave Engbers did when starting the Founders Brewing Company out of Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1997. The road to greatness wasn’t easy. The duo came face-to-face with bankruptcy before they ditched the unremarkable craft beers switching to flavor-packed, complex brews that are Founders’ signature today. Soon enough, Founders became recognized on the national and international brewing scene, with accolades from Ratebeer, Beer Advocate, and the World Beer Cup.
It’s not a national holiday, at least not yet. But that doesn’t stop people from celebrating. National Beer Day is today. The day is historically relevant because it commemorates the date in 1933, when the Cullen-Harrison Act, signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt, went into effect. That allowed beer to once again be legally manufactured and sold in this country. Enough states then approved the 21st Amendment later that year to formally bring an end to Prohibition, which started in 1919. So, while National Beer Day isn’t a national holiday, it doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate. Peaks and Pints presents
Climb Oskar Blues Steep Coast Strata A rotating-hop series is a singularly named beer that uses new, sometimes not-even-named-yet hops with each release. It’s a chance to drink fresh IPAs, learn about some new hops and don’t overthink it. Oskar Blues has a Mountain IPA Series in play. According to the series hype, “Experimental hops. Boundary-pushing IPAs. East Coast? West Coast? Neither. Stay High.” OK. Peaks and Pints has Oskar Blues Steep Coast Strata in our cooler. In a nutshell, Strata (formerly known as X-331) is an open pollinated German born Perle hop that was growing in a backyard in Corvallis, Oregon. Strata
Berliner weisse is a rare thing: a sour beer, intensely flavored and the embodiment of refreshment. Its tartness is generally mild; its carbonation high; its soft, wheaty flavor refreshing. Even Napoleon was a fan — a popular story says he dubbed the beer style “the Champagne of the North” while occupying the German capital in 1809. As you might expect, the style is said to have originated in Berlin near the end of the 16th century and was at one time the most popular beverage in the city. Three aspects set it apart from other beers: It’s brewed with wheat,
Tournament of Beer: Northwest Pilsners First Round April 6 RON SWARNER: Sixty-four Washington and Oregon pilsners were picked by the public for the Tournament of Beer, which kicked off yesterday with two games in the Seattle/Greater King County region and two games in the Oregon region. Brackets don refrigerators, break rooms, brewery hallways and birdcages. Birthday parties have been moved to craft beer serving restaurants. Everyone is discussing Saaz hops and lager yeast temperaments. It’s crazy fun. PEAKS AND PINTS WEATHER GUY: My forecast calls for snow at White Pass Ski Area with more snow through Sunday. Three inches of
Watching Bellingham, Washington’s beer scene progress during the last few years has been amazing. To go from one brewery to 30 and counting in the last few years is nothing short of impressive. And now, seeing brewers testing the boundaries of traditional palates, breweries engaging the community in all sorts of events and activities, farm to pint initiatives and bringing culinary pairings into the mix — these are all ways in which the Whatcom County breweries and craft brew scene continues to kick butt. Peaks and Pints hosted eight Bellingham breweries last night in what the cool kids call a
Tournament of Beer: Northwest Pilsners Round One April 5 RON SWARNER: Live from the Proctor District in Tacoma Washington, it’s the 2019 Tournament of Beer: Northwest Pilsners. Peaks and Pints annual Tournament of Beer is special — it’s a time scour social media, eat too many sandwiches, and scream too loudly at the giant bracket sitting on top of our cooler. But most importantly, it’s the time for people to celebrate their love of craft beer. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I’m Peaks and Pints co-owner Ron Swarner. If you’re a pilsner fan or a friend of a pilsner fan,
Fort George Brewery is releasing early tastes of their 3-Way IPA via a spring version of its annual Festival of the Dark Arts.

New York state’s growth of the craft beer segment continues to be strong and New York State’s share of that growth has exceeded that of breweries on the national level. The number of New York state breweries grew from 95 in 2012 to 415 in 2018. The state’s craft beer industry is currently fourth in the country with an economic impact of $3.4 billion dollars. In 2018, New York state was the sixth largest beer producing state in the country. The outlook for breweries in New York state remains strong with more breweries-in-planning than ever, continued barrelage increases and growth in

Traditional perry is not the same as pear cider, which is often apple cider that has pear flavoring added to it, and may be what comes to mind for most people when they hear about perry. A true perry is made from pears alone and has a light, refreshing sweetness. Perry pears are smaller than culinary or dessert pears. As with apple cider, the fruit is picked, crushed and pressed to extract juice, which is then fermented. However, unlike apples, all pears contain a sugar alcohol called sorbitol that yeasts cannot metabolize. A completely fermented perry, therefore, has a residual

No Sleep Till Brooklyn Brewery: Black Chocolate Stout On July 4, 1994, when Manhattan Brewing was closed for the holiday, brewer Garrett Oliver brewed a version of Black Chocolate Stout in the empty brewery. Oliver fumed over Manhattan Brewing cancelling all their employees’ health insurance without telling them, so when Brooklyn Brewery co-owner Steve Hindy came a calling, Oliver listened. Three weeks later, after Oliver poured his Black Chocolate Stout for Hindy, the deal was done. The amount of Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stout brewed in 1994, their first year in business, dwarfed all the sales for imperial stout in
Who opens with a 30-barrel system? Matchless Brewing Co. in Tumwater, Washington, that’s who. Award-winning brewmaster Patrick Jansen — who helped lead Three Magnets Brewing Co. to prominence — opened Matchless June 24, 2017, with Grant Bolt, and quickly built a reputation for its wide variety of top notch beers. Shortly after opening, Matchless brought home five medals at the Washington Beer Awards. The brewery reached its production capacity of 2,000 barrels in the first. It’s rare for a craft brewery to excel, and win awards, for all beer styles. Matchless does. Today, Peaks and Pints presents a flight of
No Sleep Till Brooklyn Brewery: Sorachi Ace Saison The Brooklyn Brewery and Ecliptic Brewing tap takeover is going down Monday, April 1 inside Peaks and Pints’ little lodge in Tacoma’s Proctor District. It’s true. Ecliptic picked Peaks and Pints to showcase their newest Cosmic Collaboration series, “5 Beers for 5 Years,” in which the Portland brewery collaborates with five other esteemed breweries to brew five celestial concoctions, then taking each collaboration on separate tours supported by tapped craft beer from both breweries. Brooklyn Brewery certainly didn’t tell famed Brewmaster Harris no; the two breweries brewed an amazing Tangerine Farmhouse Ale
Probably more than any other country, Belgium holds particular prominence to folks around the world who enjoy beer. This young (1830) small (11 million people) country has centuries of brewing traditions built into its history. Belgium’s brewing tradition goes back well over a thousand years. In 1822 Joos Frans Lindemans married a desirable farmer’s daughter called Françoise Josine Vandersmissen. And so the Lindemans family came to own a farm called, Hof ter Wegen. There was farming blood in Joos Frans’ veins, but his sights were set somewhat higher. He was soon mayor of the small town of Vlezenbeek and in the evening, after

Beer is delicious. The brewed beverage has been part of human life for at least 5,000 years. In fact many historians believe that the cultivation of grains and subsequent development of beer and bread led to something we all like better than craft beer: civilization. When consumed in moderation, beer provides a relaxing, tasty and filling diversion from the stresses of everyday life. In the heat of summertime, ice-cold ale goes a long way; in winter, a frothy stout served at room temperature can give one energy and nutrition. Being a beer lover in America has never been better.

Beer lovers and bakers have always stood by their respective culinary passions — but far fewer of us have put the two of them together. It’s a magical combination. The right beer and cookie pairing is outstanding because it allows you to enjoy more of both elements. Milk washes away or rounds off the edges of a cookie, but beer, especially milk stout, brings out something unexpected from a chocolate chip cookie. A milk stout has a heavier roasted flavor, almost toasted, which compliments the sweetness in the cookie without overpowering it. A milk stout is also a little bit

Enlightenment is a vibrational state of being that’s constantly balancing, with pure love and wisdom expressed together. If you think spiritual awakening will fix you, make you a nicer person, or happier, or more “spiritual,” or sexier or skinnier or more appealing and fun, that’s not it. And it won’t. There are, indeed, many helpful (and many not so helpful) tools. But in Peaks and Pints’ experience, there is, across nearly all sacred traditions, but one humble suggestion: Give up trying to get it, and then you get it. Simple, really. Oh, and also drink more hard cider. Welcome to

Logsdon Farmhouse Ales was started by Full Sail founding brewer and yeast master Dave Logsdon who has a special affinity for traditional Belgian-style farmhouse ales. When he launched the Hood River, Oregon brewery, he planted an orchard on the property with Belgium-imported Schaerbeekse trees. These trees grow the sour cherries necessary to craft authentic kriek beers. Dave Logsdon has since retired from full-time day-to-day operations, with John Plutshack and his wife Jodie Ayura managing brewery operations with Head Brewer Shilpi Halemane and Assistant Brewer Mark Pearson running the beer side.

Peaks and Pints cider flight Tacoma Hard cider, when done right, can be as good as beer or wine. Better even. Think about what we’re working with here. Beer starts as starchy water.

Further, apples thrive across America. Cider was one of the most popular drinks in America from colonial times to the 20th century. In 1920, the 18th Amendment went into effect, Prohibition started, and cider was cast to
