from pike brewing, seattle:

April 2012 marked 50 years since that icon of the future, The Seattle Space Needle, debuted.
When the Space Needle announced a competition among local brewers to determine who could brew the best beer to commemorate their anniversary, our brew crew went to work on something really special, a vintage dated golden IPA.
100 journalists, and other local dignitaries and beer enthusiasts were invited to the Needle for the delicious competition which included specialties from the menu of Sky City, the famous Space Needle revolving restaurant. Ten local brewers competed, and, to make a tall story short, Pike 2012 Space Needle Golden IPA was voted the champion.


Limited quantities of Pike Space Needle IPA will be available at the Space Needle, at The Pike Pub, and at pubs, restaurants, and stores throughout the city. When you drink it you'll realize, the future is now!

April 21st was the official release of Pike Space Needle's Golden Anniversary IPA. It has been receiving rave reviews.

Spring into action in May - there are so many beers and little time to do otherwise! Now is, without question, the best time ever to celebrate craft beer.


Seattle Beer Week is May 10-20.

American Craft Beer Week is May 14-20.
It 's the best 10 days of the year for Seattle craft beer lovers, and mothers!
Take Mom out for a Beer on Mother's Day, May 13!
Enjoy Pike beers with some of the world's finest fromage at the Seattle Cheese Festival in the Pike Place Market on May 19th and 20th.
Add to this Pike Meet the Brewer's Night on May 2nd with a preview of Cerveza Rosanna. Please note that our regularly scheduled Guest Brewer's Night on May 17 will not be held out of respect for other Seattle Beer Week events.
So many events; so many wonderful beers; too little time! We encourage you to make time and enjoy!
Cheers,
Rose Ann and Charles

brewing up gender parity

My article on gender parity is on the Growler website! BREWING UP GENDER PARITY: THE QUEST FOR BEERQUALITY REBECCA WHYMAN •  JUNE 13, 2019 Women are markedly underrepresented in craft beer. This is not news to anyone. But have you ruminated on just how large the gender gap is?  A 2018 survey by Nielsen-Harris  found American craft beer drinkers are 68.5 per cent male and 31.5 per cent female. Closer to home,  BeerMeBC’s 2018 survey  had those numbers at 71 and 29 per cent, with 0.32 per cent identifying as “other.” For those not so strong in the math department, that means that there are only three women drinking craft beer for every seven men. If you were a straight man looking for a date, you wouldn’t like those odds at all. And I can tell you, as one of those three women, it’s not much fun being outnumbered everywhere I go to enjoy my beloved craft beer, delightful as those seven men may be. Drinking craft beer is the easy part—when we move into the sections of craft

and now for something completely different a polish beer! zywiec - and i have no idea how to pronounce that! its poland's #1 premium beer (according to the bottle) it has a thermometer label when you can see the name in colour, its the right temperature to drink sounds a bit too much like those darned mountains that turn blue when the piss-poor mass market beer is cold enough to not give you any indication of its stinky nose but i digress... pours wonderfully clear light caramel colour nice head on the vigourous pour 5.5% this is a lager i can get into! crisp and mildly hopped its everything a pilsner should be and its delicious a great session beer on the bottle:  "since 1856 this premium beer has been brewed according to the original zywiec brewer's recipe from the best natural ingredients.  contains finest malted barley, choicest hops and pure mountain water." no clue what the website says as its in polish but wikipedia has this little histor

LABEL OF LOVE: THE CREATIVE WORLD OF MODERN BEER CAN ART REBECCA WHYMAN •  OCTOBER 15, 2018 Clockwise from top left: Electric Bicycle Brewing Co.; Mikkeller’s Hallo Ich Bin Berliner Weisee; the beer label artwork of Vancouver artist Patrick Wong; Superflux’s Superfluousness. Contributed/file photos You can’t help it, I can’t help it—we all judge beers by their labels, maybe as much as we judge the beer itself. Beer labels have been around for ages: 83 years on cans, and much longer than that on bottles. It appears we’ve been loving beer labels for that whole time—just check out all the vintage labels you can buy on eBay! Doesn’t it seem, though, that we’re loving beer labels extra hard right now? Maybe it’s that size matters. Beer cans, especially those tall boys, offer lots of real estate for labelling. Large-format bottles provide a sizeable canvas as well. Maybe it’s as simple as habituation. Humans aren’t that different from crows; we’re attracted to bright, shiny obje
