Pliny The Younger Meets Grit & Grain Podcast
Peaks & Pints taps its annual allotment of Russian River Brewing Company’s Pliny The Younger at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 18, joined by a rare lineup from the Santa Rosa legends including Pliny The Elder, Blind Pig, 110 West Coast, Intinction, Mortification, Porter, Robert, Consecration, and Velvet Glow. The tapping unfolds alongside a live recording of the Grit & Grain Podcast, the biweekly conversation series that turns Peaks & Pints into a working studio for brewers, makers, and industry voices.
Grit & Grain Episode 178 welcomes Nick Ladd and Jessie Quan of Seattle’s University District–based Ladd & Lass Brewing, pouring thoughtful lagers and hop-forward beers from the historic former Rainbow Tavern space, where Northwest music history still hums beneath the floorboards. Expect discussion around brewing philosophy, community-building, and navigating craft beer’s shifting landscape.
At 4:30 p.m., Episode 179 pivots toward recent beer distribution changes shaping Washington’s craft scene, unpacking how consolidation and evolving consumer habits are influencing what lands on local taps and shelves.
Rare pours, deep conversation, and a midweek gathering that blends cult beer culture with Tacoma’s ongoing creative rhythm.
