What is happening to Pike Brewing?

What they're saying:

While the original pub is shutting down, the Pike Brewing brand itself is not retiring. The company emphasized that this is "just a new chapter" and that its brewing operations will continue uninterrupted.

Beer lovers can still find Pike’s signature brews at grocery stores, bottle shops and bars throughout Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. 

Beers still available:

• Space Needle IPA
• Kilt Lifter
• Monk’s Uncle
• Post Alley Pils
• Uptown Hazy IPA
• Ol’ Crimson Legendary Lager

What is happening to the Pike Summit Taproom at the Seattle Convention Center?

In a move to consolidate its retail presence, Pike Brewing confirmed that its newer location, the Pike Summit Taproom at the Seattle Convention Center, will remain open and pouring the full selection of Pike favorites.

The brewery is inviting the public to join them for a final farewell before the end of the month. As a special thank you, all draft beers at the downtown location are priced at $4 until the final service day.

The closure of the Pike Pub removes a historic anchor from the downtown core, but the Pike Brewing team remains optimistic about the future, stating they are "excited to write it with you."

The final day of service for the Pike Pub and Pike Fish Bar will be Nov. 30.
