Possibly the grandest Bier drinking establishment in Seattle, this Downtown Brewpub sells a representative range of Bier styles for the USA and Europe. The premises are vast, as much a restaurant as a bar.
Having visited and sampled Bier from some fifty Brewpubs on the 2018 trip, the fayre here felt a bit safe. Had the Peach IPA (6.0%) been available on the day, then I might have had something to rave about. Still, the staff were excellent. In 2024, a marvelous NEIPA was waiting. Pike are keeping up with the times.

In 2018, we met Scott, a fellow Bier enthusiast, the visit was therefore memorable.
