Hop Mob at Peaks and Pints in Tacoma.
Sunday morning, Feb. 5, the sound of five triple IPA kegs being tapped will resonate like the screech of a dog whistle calling hopheads from far and wide to Peaks & Pints in Tacoma’s Proctor District. Once again, Peaks & Pints will join the Washington Hop Mob Roadshow across Western Washington showcasing the holy grail for American beer drinkers.
Crafting one of these ultra-hopped numbers is difficult; a true test of a brewer’s abilities. Peaks & Pints will showcase said talent when we tap the likes of Bale Breaker Brewing’s Mount Saint Humulus, Urban Family Wizard Party, and other Washington state brewed, 10%-plus IPAs with wacky names. Hopheads exit your hidden, subterranean lairs and head to Peaks and Pints Feb. 5! 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 5, Peaks & Pints, 3816 N. 26th St., Basecamp Proctor, Tacoma, peaksandpints.com

===================================
2022 Events. Here’s some info about last year’s events.
Thursday, Feb. 10th – Seattle – At Brouwer’s Cafe, Seattle: Hop Mob Kickoff. We had high hopes for this year, thinking we might see a transition from pandemic to endemic, maybe getting back to a sense of normality! But no, not yet! By design, Hop Mob is a large gathering, and while we’d certainly enjoy seeing all of you, standing shoulder to shoulder, drinking great beers, we can’t in good conscience do that quite yet! Hop Mob is about brewers brewing the beer they think has the best hop expression (yummy hops!), and we’ve decided to still host it, but in a much more subdued way. Brouwers will host Hop Mob on February 10th with 13 event-specific, deliciously hoppy beers on draft.
Friday, Feb. 11th thru Sunday, Feb. 13th – Purdy – At Local Boys Taproom. In addition to being a Hop Mob event featuring Hop Mob beers, it is also their anniversary, so expect to find some barrel-aged wonders on tap as well.
Saturday, Feb. 12th – Seattle – At Reuben’s Brews: taproom. A Hop Mob event of sorts at Reuben’s Brews. Reuben’s will release Supreme Triumvirate (a 9% version of Triumvirate, brewed in collaboration with Brouwer’s and Bottleworks, the second release in our 10th Anniversary Series) and Triple Crush. Those two big IPAs will join Blimey That’s Bitter, which will already be on tap. Also, three guests IPAs (Ladd & Lass Brewing, Postdoc Brewing, Bickerson’s Brewhouse) to round out the event. They will offer a flight of all six beers available, plus the first release of Triple Crush cans and Supreme Triumvirate cans (which will be debuted on Thurs 2/10 at Brouwer’s!)
Monday, Feb. 14th – Seattle – At Beveridge Place Pub. For the (hop) lover in us all! We’ll have a dozen hop-forward creations from the great beer state of Washington – single, double, and even TRIPLE IPAs will be featured! (taster trays encouraged).
Wednesday, Feb. 16th – Seattle – At The Growler Guys (Seattle). Some of the beers may go on tap sooner, but the main event is on the 16th.
Thursday, Feb. 17th – Friday, Feb. 18th – Seattle – At Halcyon Brewing Presents: “A Couple Nights of Hops.” On Thursday, February 17th, Halcyon Brewing is tapping nine of the Hopmob beers including the collaboration beer it made with MIRAGE – Dry Tiny Horses, a frozen-fresh hop Mosaic double IPA. Also pouring beers from Ladd and Lass, Flying Lion, Watt’s, Old Stove, Reuben’s, Future Primitive, Post Doc, and Hellbent. Event beers will be on tap and available in 5- or 12-ounce glasses. Cans of the Halcyon/MIRAGE collaboration will also be available in limited supplies to-go. Beers are tapped Thursday and will pour Friday night until gone.
Saturday, February 19th – Kirkland – At Thirsty Hop from 12:00 – 9:00 PM. We will have at least 6 Hop Mob beers to tap. We will offer full glass pours and taster flights of these beers. We will also have a voting process to determine the favorites among Hop Mob attendees and post the results on our social media pages the following day.
