The Daily Outside Friday: Sandworms, Sea Creatures & Bicycle Grease
Friday the 13th arrives wearing sensible walking shoes, carrying a bicycle wrench and apparently harboring an octopus somewhere beneath its trench coat. Tacoma's waterfront offers a science-fiction pilgrimage, Gig Harbor's marine residents prepare for an aquatic feeding frenzy, and a Hilltop bicycle workshop promises mechanical enlightenment for anyone whose derailleur has recently developed a personality disorder. Three adventures, one notoriously unlucky date and absolutely no reason to remain indoors consulting your horoscope.

Peaks & Pints Thursday Double Mountain Flight
Tonight at 5, Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery rolls into Peaks & Pints with longtime friends Andrew Russo and Donovan Stewart. Our five-pour Thursday Double Mountain Flight features blackberry-kissed Adeline cider, crisp Pilsner, fresh-hop Killer Lion, citrus-rocking Click Track IPA and the holiday hop rebellion Fa La La La La.

The Daily Outside Thursday: Birds, Bats, Bumblebees & Other Beautiful Oddities
Thursday's South Sound adventures begin with feathered gossip along Hood Canal, wander into forests populated by enormous Danish trolls and uncover the secret vibrating talents of bumblebees. By afternoon, hermit crabs are fighting over dinner, bats are preparing for the graveyard shift and runners are plotting a three-mile escape through the West End darkness. Seven outings, several species behaving suspiciously and one more reminder that the world beyond your front door is considerably stranger than anything on television.

Peaks & Pints Veterans Day Beer Flight: Starlifters Never Retire
Every Veterans Day, retired 446th Airlift Wing members reunite at Peaks & Pints, bringing decades of aviation history and stories that improve with age. Today, our Starlifters Never Retire Beer Flight takes off with Fort George Ceiling of Stars, Bale Breaker Skyward, Single Hill Convergence, Great Notion Double Stack and Seapine Ten Pines. Five beers. One magnificent homecoming. The aircraft are retired. The friendships remain airworthy.

The Daily Outside Wednesday: Veterans, Volcanoes, Wild Things & Underwater Wonders
Veterans Day opens the gates to a snow-dusted volcano, suspends the parking bureaucracy across Washington's public lands and invites military families to commune with wolves, walruses and bison. Meanwhile, volunteers perform ecological surgery along the Nisqually, hikers disappear into Point Defiance's evergreen cathedral, and Gig Harbor's marine creatures stage an afternoon feeding frenzy followed by an evening of live underwater espionage. Seven adventures, one November Wednesday, and an octopus with absolutely no intention of observing the federal holiday.

Peaks & Pints New Beer Six-Pack 11.10.26
November has apparently assembled the world's most dysfunctional holiday gathering: Gary Payton guarding the refrigerator, sleepy badgers contemplating the cosmos, tropical lava flooding the living room, a deranged snow beast demolishing the cabin, Nirvana rattling the windows and a maple-soaked lumberjack operating the espresso machine, all six magnificent disasters arriving in Tuesday's Peaks & Pints New Beer Six-Pack.
