Another Northwest microbrewery that I really enjoy is Pike
Place Brewing Company in Seattle. Like its name suggests, it is in the Pike
Street Market Place—that rabbit warren of shops that sits above Eliot Bay. It
has all the charm of an English Pub and the congestion of that famous tourist
trap, Pike Place Market. But while you wait you can peruse all the collections
of beer coasters hanging on the walls. Once you get seated (I’ve never waited
more than 20 minutes) there is a good menu and all the variety of obligatory
Northwest microbrewery beers. I you haven’t figured it out, I’m partial to the
IPA’s. I like a citrusy bitterness. I learned to love beer in my time in
England and it’s always a pint of bitter for me when I’m there. I think that
also might be why I am enamored of microbreweries. At any rate, Pike Place is
one of those craft beer places worth dropping by if you’re ever in Seattle. It’s
another American place for which I am thankful.
