Tonight at Kilworth Memorial Chapel, Blues Vespers welcomes Ben Hunter and Joe Seamons for a 5 p.m. gathering that usually settles into its final hush around 6:15–6:30 p.m., folding blues, poetry, and quiet reflection into Tacoma’s Sunday rhythm. All day at Peaks & Pints, the Kilworth Afterglow Beer Flight waits here in the taproom as both a pre-concert breath and a post-concert landing — a place to gather your thoughts before the first note or let them drift a little longer after the last chord dissolves into the rafters. This lineup leans away from spectacle and toward resonance, inspired by Pastor Dave Brown’s long-running Vespers tradition of community built through sound and stillness. Five pours move like an unhurried setlist shaped by dusk: bright beginnings, rooted warmth, farmhouse wanderings, midnight calm, and a Northwest cider that feels like the city exhaling. Think less checklist, more echo — the lingering vibration that follows you back from the chapel and settles quietly at the bar.
Peaks & Pints Kilworth Afterglow Beer Flight
Heater Allen Pils
5% ABV | Czech-Style Pilsner | McMinnville, Oregon
A soft line of lemon peel and meadow grass lifts from the glass like a violin tuning itself in a wooden room, all precision and patience guided by Heater Allen Brewing’s deep respect for classic lager craft. Bread crust warmth and noble hop spice glide in without urgency, leaving a clean shimmer that feels composed rather than flashy, the kind of pour that resets your pace and invites conversation to find its natural volume.
Samuel Smith Old Brewery Taddy Porter
5.0% ABV | Porter | Tadcaster, England
Mocha-toned and steady as worn hymnals stacked near a chapel door, this historic porter drifts forward with cocoa powder, toasted grain, and a quiet hum of caramel sweetness shaped by Samuel Smith Old Brewery’s old-world devotion to tradition. Each sip feels like settling onto a wooden bench after a long day, smooth and grounded, carrying just enough roast to keep things thoughtful without tipping into heaviness.
Holy Mountain The White Lodge
5.2% ABV | Witbier | Seattle, Washington
A pale, luminous haze curls in the glass like morning light through chapel windows, carrying whispers of orange peel, coriander spice, and soft wheat sweetness that Holy Mountain shapes with quiet precision. The White Lodge drifts across the palate with lemon zest brightness and a cloud-soft texture, finishing dry and airy as if it might float right out the door toward the Sound. It feels playful yet reverent, the midpoint of the flight where conversation turns lighter, shoulders relax, and the day leans gently toward whatever comes next.
Holy Mountain Black Beer
4.8% ABV | Dark Lager
A ribbon of cocoa husk and toasted malt slips into view like twilight arriving early, the Seattle brewery shaping this dark lager with quiet restraint and an almost meditative clarity. Smooth roast and cool lager snap move side by side, leaving hints of coffee bean and forest air that linger just long enough to feel reflective without ever feeling heavy, the sonic hush between songs translated into liquid form.
Finnriver Farm & Cidery Buckhorn Dry Cider
6.9% ABV | Dry Cider | Chimacum, Washington
Orchard brightness and river-stone minerality glide together in this Northwest staple from Finnriver Farm & Cidery, the 2025–26 house cider for Peaks & Pints pouring with crisp green apple, tart pear skin, and a clean, bone-dry finish. It closes the flight with a gentle lift, like the sky turning indigo over Tacoma rooftops, leaving a lingering freshness that feels less like an ending and more like the evening continuing somewhere just beyond the door.
