There are dates that glide past the calendar unnoticed, and then there are the cosmic wink-wink days — the ones that line up in peculiar symmetry and dare you to pay attention. November 11, 11/11, is one of those shimmering numerical portals, a day that feels like someone whispered “make a wish” directly into your pint glass. Mystics call it an energy gateway. Numerologists call it an alignment. Beer drinkers call it an opportunity.
So at Peaks & Pints, we’re stepping through that portal the only way we know how: with five beers, each ringing in at exactly 11% ABV, poured in bursts of concentrated joy, audacity, and borderline irresponsibility. It’s a flight that laughs in the face of restraint — a quintet of high-gravity miracles engineered to warm your soul, curl your toes, and make you briefly forget the weather, the news, your inbox, and likely your name.
This isn’t a tasting. It’s a rite of passage. A toast to synchronicity, serendipity, and the sacred truth that when the universe serves you repeating ones, you answer with repeating elevens.
Welcome to the Peaks & Pints 1111 Beer Flight — a five-part sermon in strength, style, and pure gravitational pull.
Peaks & Pints 1111 Beer Flight
Block 15 Brewing Revolve
11% ABV | Bière de Champagne | Corvallis, OR
Block 15’s Revolve spins elegance and wildness into the same golden orbit — a bière de champagne aged more than a year in peach brandy barrels with Brettanomyces before being finished the méthode traditionnelle way. Effervescent, vinous, and bright with orchard glow, it pours like a sparkling peach nebula, all oak warmth, soft tartness, and Brett-kissed intrigue. Both rustic and celebratory, Revolve drinks like a farmhouse gala in a flute — half funk, half fête, entirely radiant.
North Coast Old Stock Ale
11% ABV | Old Ale | Fort Bragg, CA
Old Stock returns like a fog-wreathed legend — brewed with Maris Otter malt and England’s noble Fuggles and East Kent Goldings, aged into a brooding, mahogany reverie of toffee, dark fruit, and oak warmth. It smells like an ancient library where half the books are secretly flasks. Sip it slow. Let it unfurl. North Coast Brewing‘s Old Stock doesn’t merely come back; it resurrects, reminding us why English malt once ruled the earth and why some returns feel mythic.
Crux Fermentation Project DoubleCross
11% ABV | Belgian-Style Strong Dark Ale | Bend, OR
Crux‘s DoubleCross is winter alchemy at full volume — a Belgian strong dark ale swirling with dark candi sugar, preserved fruit, holiday spice, and Trappist yeast. It pours like candlelit mahogany and tastes like a monastery feast crashing a ski lodge: figs, plum, clove, caramelized sugar, warming booze, and a hint of ritual mischief. It’s bold, contemplative, and just ornate enough to feel like you should be drinking it while wearing velvet.
Põhjala Baltic Porter Day (2025)
11% ABV | Imperial Baltic Porter w/ Bison Grass | Tallinn, Estonia
Once a year, on the coldest, most defiant Saturday in January, Põhjala throws open the gates of winter and pours pure resurrection. Baltic Porter Day 2025 arrives as both tradition and transgression — an imperial ode steeped in bison grass, chocolate, and midnight patience. It pours like oil on velvet, aromas of roasted malt and cocoa rising with a ghostly whisper of meadow and mint. The flavor is cathedral-dark and herb-laced, a mix of molasses, espresso, vanilla, and a grassy shimmer that flickers like frost in candlelight. It tastes like the Baltic itself: ancient, brooding, myth-soaked, daring you to drink until the darkness hums.
New Holland Dragon’s Milk
11% ABV | Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout | Holland, MI
New Holland‘s Dragon’s Milk stalks the glass with bourbon-soaked intent — brooding, ink-dark, and unashamed of its power. Aged in charred oak barrels, it coils with cocoa, vanilla, toasted coconut, and that unmistakable bourbon heat that rises like a warning flare. This is the last sip before the lights dim — no apologies, no parole, just slow, decadent contemplation. A stout built for nights when you want the world to hush so the darkness can speak.
