Washington Hop Mob 2020 in Tacoma
2020-02-07 11:00 - 23:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Peaks and Pints, 3816 N. 26th St., Tacoma, 98407, United States
Some form of humankind has survived six fajillion years of self-preservation thanks to our innate sensitivity to bitterness as a means to survival. So, you’ll be fine when Peaks & Pints taps 10 hoppy, bitter beers at 11 a.m. Friday, Feb. 7, launching the 10-day Washington Hop Mob Roadshow across Western Washington. According to organizer Kendall Jones of the Washington Beer Blog, triple IPAs are no longer a participation requirement.
“This year, we decided to switch things up a bit and create a different set of requirements,” writes Jones. “While some beer fans were saddened to hear that we’d dropped the triple IPA requirement, it turns out a lot of the breweries decided to make triple IPA anyway. The new requirement simply stated that the beers feature a complete expression of hop character and clock in at no less than 50 IBU (International Bitterness Units). … there’s no shortage of triple IPAs, but there are plenty of other hoppy creations as well.”
Besides, IPAs and other beers with heavy use of bittering hops seem to be normalizing toward nuances of flavoring instead of giant sand wedges to the palate. Modern brewers are taking on more of a chef’s role by experimenting with hops in a way that hasn’t been meticulously studied.
Past Washington Hop Mob drinkers will be happy to know that while the bitterness requirements might be slightly less this year, brewers still drank all the IPAs before naming their creations. Peaks & Pints will pour Bale Breaker’s Mount St. Humulous TIPA, Grains of Wrath Chainsaws and Boomsticks, Hellbent Lucky Juiciano, Kulshan Ratchet Strap, Reuben’s Blimey That’s Bitter!, Skookum Follow Your Nose, Stoup I’m Running Free, Structures Sleestak, Varietal WeedWolf: Moon Druid, and Urban Family What, Mortal.

To tame the overload of emails, meetings and other nagging mediums pushing lagers and IPAs, Western Washington is turning to a new organizational technique to remain focused on their stout drinking productivity: Get Stouts Done. The mantra has spawned something of a movement in Tacoma. Peaks and Pints February Get Stouts Done hacks your entire existence to gain maximum stout drinkability and improved overall stout management, because, well, if that’s not the true meaning of this manic American life, what is?
The Tacoma Proctor District craft beer lodge promises to maintain six stouts on our Western cedar tap log through February. You’ll now be able to get stouts done faster and more efficiently — at least for 29 days. You’ll also now be able to enjoy stouts, milk stouts, imperial stouts, pastry stouts, nitro stouts and other variations from your barstool while clearing your junk mail of witbier promotions, blocking sour beer spam, or deleting someone’s Twitter blip about the latest one-per-customer sticke alt release. What else are you gonna do while chocolate and bourbon notes coat your palate? Breathe? Feel? Merely … exist?

Counterbalance Brewing celebrates our fifth anniversary on January 24 and 25, 2020. After three weeks of going to the gym and taking care of yourselves, take the excuse for a cheat day and come spend the weekend with us and our 5th Anniversary Special Releases:
2020 Bourbon Barrel Aged Kushetka Imperial Stout– The third iteration of our collaboration with 2Bar Spirits, aged in 2Bar straight bourbon barrels for 12 months. Kushetka’s bold, roasty notes and hop bite to meld beautifully with oak and spicy bourbon. Available on draft and in 12oz bottles. Delicious now and will cellar well.
2020 Vodka Barrel Aged Belgian Style Golden Ale- Belgian Golden Strong Ale aged in barrels previously used to age Glass Distillery’s grape-distilled vodka. The result is fruity, earthy, and complex with a wine-like body and delicate, yet potent, result. Available on draft and in 12oz bottles. Delicious now and will cellar well.
2020 5th Anniversary “5×5” IPA- A bright, full, flavored, citrus-forward Hazy IPA brewed with five grains and five hops and landing at a very balanced and drinkable 5% ABV. In radio parlance, “5×5” means “Loud and Clear,” and more casually, “all good,” which… it is. Available on draft and in 16oz cans.
All three beers will be available Friday (3-9pm) and Saturday (noon-9pm), as well as additional treats and surprises. Food provided on Friday by Chavoya’s Hot Dogs and on Saturday by Layers Sandwich Co.
