Pike Brewing
|
The Pike Brewing Company was founded in what was formerly Seattle's most infamous brothel, The LaSalle Hotel--a landmark at the foot of Seattle's colorful Pike Place Public Market. The brewery founders, Charles and Rose Ann Finkel identified a liquid need and satisfied it with world class beer like Naughty Nellie organic golden ale, named for Nellie Curtis, the hotel's congenial madam, and Pike XXXXX Extra Stout, descriptive of the longshoremen and sailors who patronized the LaSalle. A few years later, the brewery made history when The World Beer Championships voted it "One of the 10 best breweries in the World." Since then, Pike has moved, a half block uphill in the opposite direction, to a larger, gravity flow steam brewery and, now famous, Pike Pub. Pike XXXXX Extra Stout was voted 'Best Stout' by the readers of N.W. Brewing News. It is full- bodied with velvety malt texture featuring hints of chocolate, licorice & espresso. stout, with it's restorative properties, is the drink of athletes! |
