Ah yes, 4/20—the high holy day of skunky bliss and couchbound enlightenment, when time dilates, Doritos become sacraments, and the world smells like citrus-soaked pinecones left to ferment in a tie-dye sunbeam. Whether you’re locked in deep communion with your favorite bong shaped like Mrs. Butterworth or slow-dancing through a haze of terpenes in your backyard hammock, today is about dankness—that gloriously pungent, funked-up term that unites the sacred Venn diagram of top-shelf cannabis and hop-forward craft beer.
Because let’s face it: hops and weed are botanical soulmates. Cousins, literally—both belong to the Cannabaceae family, which means they share terpenoids, those mystical compounds responsible for the nose-slaying aromas we love: grapefruit zest, fresh-cut pine, diesel-drenched mango funk. A truly dank IPA doesn’t whisper—it screams from the glass, flooding rooms and nasal cavities with enough olfactory swagger to make your budtender weep with joy.
So today, Peaks & Pints honors this green-scented convergence with our celebratory hop-heavy offering: Beer Flight: 4/20 Dankness. No, it won’t get you high. But yes, it might trick your senses into thinking otherwise. Come sip the sticky. Come toast the terps. Come be one with the funk.
Peaks & Pints Beer Flight: 4/20 Dankness
Varietal Nug Jug
7% ABV
Collaboration with Dockside Cannabis in Seattle to target the flavor and aroma of one of Varietal Beer’s favorite strains and recreate it in this herbaceous and citrusy hazy IPA brewed with Cascade, CTZ, Mosaic, Riwaka, to show off the dankest potential of the hop flower.
Fremont Kush IPA
7% ABV
Fremont Brewing brewed their Kush IPA with a proprietary blend of terpenes. It smells and tastes like the weed, yet there isn’t any THC or CBD present. The terpenes are derived from botanical sources to mimic the aroma and flavor of marijuana and other fruits and plants. The terpenes are a water-soluble botanical terpene blend. It smells like hop flowers, leaves, and some dankness. If you love Fremont’s Lush, Kush has the same honeysuckle sweetness, a bit more piney and subtle citrusy hop notes, and a definite dank overtone.
Trap Door Sativa Feva

Trap Door Brewing Sativa Feva West Coast IPA is brewed with a special blend of terpenes to mimic the popular sativa strain Sour Tangie, plus Nectaron, Comet, Simcoe, and Columbus hops, for big notes of tangerine, citrus, and heady cannabis.
