Peaks & Pints Monday Cocktail Cider Flight
The Peaks & Pints Monday Cocktail Cider Flight features Mahalo's mango-grapefruit Salty Dawg, Yonder's peach-mint Hot Yonder Summer and Negroni-inspired Cashmere, plus Craftwell's dangerously potent Classic Cosmo and Chocolate Espresso Martini.

The Daily Outside Monday: FeederWatch, Forest Trails & Civic Shenanigans
The Daily Outside Monday: Tacoma's ancient forests prescribe four miles of moss-covered sanity, waterfront walkers attempt to outwit November's atmospheric tantrums, University Place's backyard birds become unwitting contributors to continental science, park commissioners contemplate a million-dollar resurrection of Titlow Lagoon, and Proctor's runners discover that cardiovascular exertion can eventually be exchanged for beer. Five excellent reasons to inform Monday that you have other plans. The post The Daily Outside Monday: FeederWatch, Forest Trails & Civic Shenanigans appeared first on Peaks and Pints Proctor Tacoma.
Peaks & Pints Sunday West Coast Jazz Flight
Jazz and West Coast IPA share a magnificent refusal to behave. One bends notes, the other bends your palate with grapefruit, tropical fruit, pine resin and enough hop-fueled improvisation to make the rhythm section nervous.

The Daily Outside Sunday: Birds, Botanical Drama & Mountain Wisdom
The Daily Outside Sunday: Tacoma's waterfront runners chase the sunrise, Wapato Lake's birds refuse to cooperate with human curiosity, Federal Way's autumn foliage stages a final color-soaked rebellion, Mount Rainier offers 20 minutes of wisdom accumulated over geological time, and Gig Harbor's marine residents descend into a feeding frenzy of claws, fins and possibly eight very enthusiastic arms. Five excellent reasons to escape the couch before Monday arrives to confiscate your freedom.

The Daily Outside Saturday: Dirty Boots, Naked Trees & Winter Stoke
Saturday has apparently swallowed an entire outdoor recreation catalog and begun hallucinating in seasonal Technicolor. Tacoma's runners disappear into Point Defiance, birdwatchers investigate suspicious activity around a beaver pond, Puyallup volunteers rehabilitate the landscape, and the rest of the South Sound ricochets between autumn's botanical extravagance, a volcano with an attitude, premature Christmas cheer and an underwater television show whose performers have neither agents nor pants. Meanwhile, Enumclaw is throwing a party for snow that hasn't arrived. November has abandoned moderation. Excellent.
