It’s Friday the 13th, and we have the perfect way to tempt fate — without the actual danger. Skip the cursed cabins, the midnight skinny dips, and the ominous noises in the woods.

No bad luck here — just bold flavors, wickedly high ABVs, and a soundtrack of darkwave to complete the ritual. Stop by Peaks & Pints in Tacoma’s Proctor District and enjoy the Peaks & Pints Friday the 13th Beer Flight. Pro tip: Step around the ladder.
Peaks & Pints Friday the 13th Beer Flight
Triceratops Hans Gruber Wheat
5% ABV
This one’s the calm before the storm. Like its namesake from Die Hard, Triceratops Brewing‘s Hans Gruber Wheat is smooth, clever, and just a little dangerous. Expect a balanced profile of malt, wheat, and subtle orange citrus. It’s the kind of beer that makes you say, “Yippee ki yay,” before things get real.
American Solera Touchless Knockout
8.5% ABV
Like the mythical martial arts move it’s named after, American Solera‘s imperial West Coast IPA lands a heavy hit without laying a finger. Brewed with Simcoe, Nelson Cryo, and Mosaic Cryo, it’s a dank, bitter, piney punch to the tastebuds — clean, bold, and real.
Great Notion Triple Dank Shark
10% ABV
When this beast surfaces, you’ll know. Brewed in collaboration with Alvarado Street Brewery, Great Notion Brewing‘s Triple Dank Shark is a deep, juicy triple IPA swimming in Strata, Nelson Sauvin, Citra, and Galaxy hops. Expect a feeding frenzy of melon, grapefruit, salted watermelon, and pure dankness.
Prairie Struck By Lightning, Bit By Cobra
11% ABV
With a name like that, you know it’s going to hit hard. This Prairie Artisan Ales‘ hazy triple IPA is a tropical storm of flavor, with Columbus, Simcoe, Citra, and more delivering juicy waves of mango, citrus, and hoppy firepower. Electrifying and venomous — in the best way.
Nightmare Patricide
15.1% ABV
The final boss. Nightmare Brewing’s terrifyingly rich imperial stout is cold-aged on toasted coconut, Ecuadorian cacao, and Madagascar vanilla. The result: black forest cake, black cherry cordial, crisp fudge edges, and just enough menace to end the night with a shiver. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
The Peaks & Pints Friday the 13th Beer Flight is available today only. Drink the flight, crank the darkwave on your headphones, and remember: whatever you do, don’t say “I’ll be right back.”
