Spocktoberfest
The Hunt For Fresh Hoptoberfest, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Peaks and Pints. Its one-month mission: to explore fresh hop craft beers, to seek out Oktoberfest-style beers, to boldly go where no mountain lodge motif bottle shop has gone before.
Fresh-hopped beer is an ephemeral thing, arriving only during hops harvest season, with its piney, citrusy taste and delicate fizz. Fresh hop festivals abound in the Northwest, but Peaks and Pints’ The Hunt For Fresh Hoptoberfest is the only month-long fresh hop celebration paired with Oktoberfest beers. We’re pouring bright, hop-hazy fresh-hop beers, just hours from field to kettle and mere days from the fermenter to your glass AND drink to your health, clean, hearty Oktoberfest-style lagers from Germany and nearby. We’ll wager our pretzel bread sticks you’ll drink both.
Since the first episode of Star Trek was broadcast on NBC on this date in history, Sept. 8, 1966, we’re screening Star Trek episodes all day as you enjoy:
