"When Pike Brewing launched in 1989 (then called Pike Place Brewery), it was among only a few independent craft breweries in Seattle. The rest of the city has long since caught up, but Pike remains a pillar of the community. Some of its beers can be found in stores, but if you haven’t visited the labyrinthian brewery next to the market yet, put it on the list. Not only is its maximalist beer ephemera a wonder of its own, but the brews themselves somehow taste better below street level. Pike has a few other locations now, but consider this one a must." - Brianna Gunter
