TACOMA PREFUNK TUESDAY, JAN. 9 2018: Rhinegeist-Melvin Experimental J-Hole and the arts

PREFUNK: Cincinnati, Ohio brewery Rhinegeist teamed up with fellow lupulin lovers at the GABF medal-winning Melvin Brewing in Alpine, Wyoming, to brew Experimental J-Hole (7 percent), a hop-happy red IPA, which pours from Peaks and Pints’ Western red cedar tap log. El Dorado hops play first chair here with candied cherry notes; Simcoe hops add bass notes of resin, pine and blood orange; and Centennial hops tie everything together with medium notes of citrus.

10 A.M. TO 5 P.M. THE DYNAMIC AMERICAN WEST: Drawing from Tacoma Art Museum’s Haub Family Collection, this TAM exhibition will look at the dynamic forces — both people and land — that shaped the American West. The artists in this exhibition showcase active scenes of people living extraordinary lives alongside images of rugged and romanticized terrain of the vibrant West.

1:45 AND 6:45 P.M. GOD’S OWN COUNTRY: Josh O’Connor plays raw-eyed farm boy Johnny and Alec Secareanu is Gheorghe, a strapping yet tender Romanian, two characters who try a little tenderness in the rough hills of northern England in Francis Lee’s stark, striking God’s Own Country scorning today at The Grand Cinema.

6:30 P.M. GRIT CITY THINK & DRINK: Leighann Chaffee, faculty member in Psychology at UW Tacoma, draws from her background in neuroscience and the biological basis of behavior to explore the biological basis of flavor perception and the role of psychological processes to explain individual variability in preferences, highlighting examples and recent findings from research at UWT. Explore the complexity of flavor perception at The Swiss Restaurant and Pub tonight.
