Peaks & Pints New Beer Six-Pack: 7.2.25
Consider this your permission slip to dive mouth-first into Peaks & Pints New Beer Six-Pack for Wednesday, July 2, a six-pack of liquid lunacy, a cooler-curated constellation of recently arrived beers and quasi-beers so vivid, so seductively unhinged, they could double as a tasting flight and a personality test. Start with Anderson Valley Briny Melon Gose, a puckered coastal haiku with watermelon and sea salt murmured in nearly extinct Boontling. Then surrender to the marshmallow-laced blackout sonnet that is Bombastic Brewing Gifting, and the thunderous barrel-aged sermon of Epic Brewing Black Gold, which should honestly come with a designated confessional booth. Pivot palatewise to Lucky Envelope’s Pineapple Guava Sour, a samba of sunshine and Seattle mist, before getting lost in the tropical lupulin greenhouse of Lumberbeard Brewing’s Flavor Nuggets V17, which reads like a mango-cantaloupe tryst sponsored by a Spokane cloud cult. And finally, just when you thought you’d escaped unscathed, there’s Untitled Art’s Pineapple Lychee Vanilla Smooothie (yes, three o’s), a lychee-licked, pineapple-slicked, vanilla-drenched seltzer fever dream so lush it dares you to define it. You can’t. Just drink.
ANDERSON VALLEY BREWING BRINY MELON GOSE: This gose doesn’t so much quench your thirst as it interrogates it—tartness tangoing with watermelon in a crisp, sea-sprayed waltz of delicate chaos, finishing dry and clean like the final line of a Zen poem scrawled on the inside of a chilled can, whispered in the fading dialect of Boontling itself, 4.2%, 12oz
BOMBASTIC BREWING GIFTING: Marshmallow-and-coconut-laced imperial stout gift with a boozy blackout poetry of toasted ecstasy and candy-bar nostalgia, brewed not merely to be sipped but to be worshipped beneath a velvet sky of dessert-fueled delirium, 10.5%, 16oz
EPIC BREWING BIG BAD BAPTIST BLACK GOLD: A velvet sledgehammer of barrel-aged rapture, steeped in whiskey char, black coffee lust, and cacao-drenched gospel so deep, so thick, it should come with a warning label and a leather-bound sermon, 14.7%, 16oz
LUCKY ENVELOPE BREWING PINEAPPE GUAVA SOUR: A tart-tongued tropical kiss wrapped in Seattle mist with a sunbeam of guava groove and pineapple punch, sashaying across your palate like a barefoot samba dancer with a PhD in refreshment, 5.6%, 16oz
LUMBERBEARD BREWING FLAVOR NUGGETS V17: This lush, lupulin-soaked love letter to the tropics is an El Dorado–drenched, Galaxy-whipped haze bomb that tastes like a cantaloupe just made out with a mango inside a sunlit greenhouse of pineapple fog, all wrapped in a cloudburst of pure Spokane-style juice sorcery, 6.8%, 16oz
UNTITLED ART PINEAPPLE LYCHEE VANILLA: Not a sour, you say? Technically no — Untitled Art’s Pineapple Lychee Vanilla is a gluten-free “Smooothie Hard Seltzer” (three o’s, darling, because two simply won’t do), but don’t let the label fool you: this 7 percent tropical hard seltzer slinks across your tongue with lychee lilt, pineapple tang, and just enough vanilla cream to make your mouth question everything it thought it knew about seltzers, smoothies, and the entire fruit kingdom, 7%, 16oz
