Tacoma Arts Month Studio Tour | Saturday & Sunday, Oct. 11–12 | Citywide, 11 a.m.–5 p.m. (Free)

All October long, we at Peaks & Pints are pairing Tacoma Arts Month happenings with beers from our 13-door cooler — because art deserves a pint after the applause, and beer tastes better when it carries a story from the stage, the gallery, or the street.

For one luminous weekend, Tacoma becomes less city, more living organism — its veins running with paint, clay, ink, and sawdust. The annual Tacoma Arts Month Studio Tour flings open 60-plus studios, inviting you straight into the sacred chaos of creation. Watch glass breathe, pigment find purpose, wood turn to grace, and artists laugh in the glow of new work. No tickets, no gates — just families, wanderers, and curious souls colliding in a citywide hymn to making.

Peaks & Pints Cooler Postfunk: Monkless Belgian Ales Meet Your Maker
After you step into the whirl of wheels and brushes, and ditch the kids, pour a Monkless Belgian Ales Meet Your Maker — caramel, fig, clove, and quiet transcendence from the Peaks cooler. A dark abbey ale that blurs the line between monastery and studio, faith and craft. A liquid meditation for witnessing art in its purest, most beautiful mess.
