Peaks and Pints Proctor Presents: Chalet Bowl Gift Cards

Let’s pair a Proctor District stocking stuffer with a holiday double IPA

Chalet Bowl

Not all bowling centers are big and garish like airports, malls, and multiplex theatres. Some, called “boutique centers,” are intimate and even tasteful. Chalet Bowl in (where else?) Proctor is a good example. Chalet Bowl, established in 1941, is the oldest operating bowling alley in Washington state, but with the newest in bowling technology. The Frederick family owns the 12-lane bowling alley — by far the most adorable alley in T-town — a perfect fit for cute Proctor. Hosting around 350 birthday parties a year, it’s a true family favorite. Bonus: Chalet offers Glow Bowling 5-6 p.m. Saturdays. 3806 N. 26th St., Tacoma, 253.752.5200

Full Sail Wreck the Halls

Celebrate the season with Full Sail Brewery’s traditional holiday favorite, Wreck the Halls Double IPA. This four-time, gold-medal winning ale brewed in Hood River, Oregon, is a sublime hybrid of an American-style double IPA and a winter warmer with a complex profile and slight caramel maltiness balanced by copious quantities of Centennial and Cascade hops. Stuff this holiday double IPA with the Chalet Bowl gift card into a stocking Christmas morning.

Proctor District

Proctor is a boutique Tacoma neighborhood centered around North 26th Street and Proctor Street. It’s a small district packed with locally-owned and operated niche stores in which every detail — every window display, bushel of fresh produce or interior cheer — is carefully curated for customers. This year, the Proctor Business District dons candy cane stripes and white lights for their month-long “Meet Me At Proctor’s Peppermint Place” celebration. Peaks & Pints craft beer and cider bar, bottle shop and restaurant has called Proctor home for more than seven years. We’re proud to be a part of this wonderful, caring community.
