Tacoma Sandwich Special of the Day: Knuckle Buster

MONDAY, FEB. 7 2022: The Peaks & Pints Kitchen rolled up their sleeves and shoved turkey, Havarti, bacon, spicy Dijon, pickles, red onion, and light mayo between two slices of rye bread. It’s a tool chest of complex flavors that requires a unique beer for pairing.

PAIRING: Rogue Ales Knuckle Buster Cold IPA

Rogue teamed up with Revival Cycles in Austin, Texas to brew this cold IPA that features an aromatic floral hop intensity and solid bitterness, but finishes crisp and clean cleansing the palate for another bite. The beer’s cracker, bread, and a soft sweetness balances the crazy flavors of the sandwich with enough hops to give the spicy Dijon a nice bump.

THING TO DO: Because of COVID, Peaks & Pints isn’t fully staffed and has postponed table service. Please you’re the QR codes at the tables and order from the bartenders behind the bar. Call ahead at (253) 328-5621 for pick-ups. Cheers!

Safety Is Priority Number One

Face masks must be worn when not eating and drinking — especially ordering from the bar or on trips to the restrooms.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of our craft beer and cider bar, bottle shop and restaurant is being a gathering place for the community. It’s a role we do not take for granted, and there are many responsibilities that come along with it — the health and safety of our guests and staff being at the top of the list. As a neighborhood restaurant, we take pride in our commitment to providing a clean, safe, and vibrant environment. Please rest assured that Peaks & Pints has built upon these best practices to follow the COVID-19 protocol provided by the CDC.

We’re open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, but we hope to return to “before times” hours when we’re able to seat at full capacity.

Hope to see you soon.
