Forbidden Peak Brewery partnered with Eckholm's Shuck Shack (oyster specialists) to host the first FPB Oyster & Brew Tasting. The event showcased 10 different FPB beers along with a variety of the finest oysters from Northern California. The event received rave reviews and will no doubt be one of the brewery's favorite events and FPB will continue to be involved with Eckholm's Shuck Shack for many years to come. There was no individual oyster or beer variety that was a standout favorite, but the combination of Eckholm's Secret Oysters Rockefeller and Skookum's Gold was a force to be reckoned with.
Forbidden Peak Brewery also hosted a tremendously successful bowling tournament at the South Lake Tahoe Bowling Alley. Approximately 60 people joined in to compete for the newly released First Ascent Pale Ale t-shirts and FPB koozies. Fifteen four-person teams competed for the team prizes, and individual awards were given out for outstanding performances. The three hour event turned out to be an epic battle as the scores were tantalizingly close. The Brewery staff was busy organizing the event and wasn't able to take any pictures, so we'd love for those in attendance to please send in any good pics! forbiddenpeak@gmail.com
Forbidden Peak then hosted two weddings. The Prudic/Stekoll wedding was held on the beach in South Lake Tahoe. The brewery provided tasty refreshments for the pre-game parties and the staff was deeply involved in the ceremony.

What a wedding and what a great tasting event! I think I even see the owner of Eckholm's Shuck Shack in the first picture! It was a good thing he had a first class Oyster Shucker to provide the culinary sweetness of Kumomoto Oysters from Humboldt Bay fresh to the pre wedding party! There may have been an injury during the shucking process but the results were unbeatable! I have to agree that Skookum's Gold matched the molluscs flavor perfectly!
Thanks again for creating and providing the best beer in the world for our wedding- Ring of Fire. You know it was the perfect wedding, when the guests remember everything about the beer and nothing about the wedding. Cheers!
