Pumpkin spice can wait. On Thursday, Sept. 4, Peaks & Pints becomes ground zero for a different seasonal rite: Hops For Habitat with the wild geniuses of Drinking For Conservation. From 6-9 p.m., every sip funnels fifty cents straight to The Nature Conservancy, because saving Washington’s forests and rivers obviously pairs best with a cold pint in your hand.
Led by our longtime conspirator, Point Defiance Zoo biologist Suzanne Akerman — who once arm-wrestled brewery reps in costume and wore full bat wings for “Brews for Bats” — DFC has raised thousands by proving that beer plus biology equals hope. They’ve sloshed for seahorses, buzzed for bees, bowled for rhinos, and now they’re hopping for habitats.
Join us. Toast the owls, the rivers, the stubborn beauty of the wild. Drink for something bigger. Drink for the earth itself.
HOPS FOR HABITAT with Drinking For Conservation, 6-9 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 4, Peaks & Pints, 3816 N. 26th St., Basecamp Proctor, Tacoma
