Peaks and Pints Brown Out Night @ Peaks and Pints
Tickets
Nov 29 @ 6:00 pm – 10:45 pm

Peaks and Pints will celebrate the brown ale Thursday, Nov. 29 pairing browns, imperial browns and barrel-aged browns with brownies.

OK, before you give us crap, let’s address the obvious: even though the brown ale is named for its color, things aren’t quite that simple. To begin with, the hues of this commonly misunderstood style can actually range anywhere from dark copper or amber to deep brown or sometimes ruby. The term itself was first coined by London brewers and referred to a whole family of classic British varieties, such as their mild ale in the early 18th century.

There are really two types of brown ales nowadays — the more traditional British brown and its Americanized cousin. British browns can be dark, rich and nutty, and sport strong malt characteristics and most are brewed from 100 percent brown malt. American Browns share their British brethren’s caramel tones and rich malt backbone, but tend to be markedly hoppier. Most brown ales are traditionally lower octane affairs and are drinkable by design.

OK, are we good?

Let’s get to the goods. … At 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 29, Peaks and Pints will pour Against The Grain The Brown Note, Boulevard Plaid Habit Imperial Brown, The Lost Abbey Gnoel de Abbey Holiday Brown Ale, Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar and others. Peaks and Pints encourages you to wear brown, too.

What can brown do for you?

Happy Hour Floats @ Uncharted Waters Float Center
Tickets
Nov 30 @ 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Originally developed in the 1950s as a way to study consciousness and brain activity, floating has become a respected health practice. With benefits ranging from pain relief and stress reduction to improved focus and mental clarity, it’s no surprise that floating has attracted the interest of athletes, artists, meditators, and military personnel alike. Floating offers a healthy, drug-free way to feel and be your very best.

“The cure for anything is saltwater: sweat, tears, or the sea.” -Isak Dinesen

Join us for happy hour every Friday evening from 4:00 p.m. to close!

Tacoma Noise Rodeo @ Honey @ Alma Mater
Tickets
Nov 30 @ 7:00 pm

Esoteric electronic music has always had a hard time finding a place and a time.

Tacoma Noise Rodeo exists because there is no outlet for in Tacoma for who make music that tends towards the experimental. The idea behind the noise rodeo is to locate this venue. Each of the artists was selected because of their vision of what music should be.

Each artist is given 30 minutes to fill with their vision of sounds. Afterwards the three artists play a 30 minute freeform collaborative jam.

Its not about what any artist playing is going to do stylistically, its not if they fit in with the theme for the evening, or the music the other artists are playing. Its that they choose and they play what they think should be played.

That place is Honey @ Alma Mater.
The time is Friday November 30th at 7pm.
The price? Free
