I haven't tried any Pike Brewing beers and want to find out which of their beers stand out. What should I keep my eyes out for in their lineup of beers? Any good stout/black ale?
Haven't tried it in a while, but I was always a fan of their XXXXX stout. Very tasty beer with a reasonable alcohol level (IMHO).
The 5X Stout, Space Needle IPA, and Old Bawdy Barleywine are my personal favorites. I think we here on BA tend to overlook them a lot, but they make a lot of really nice brews. Plus, a lot of the NWs most highly regarded brewers got their starts there, so that says something positive about them as well.
Old Bawdy is like the grand dame of Seattle/Washington barleywines. Been around forever, highly regal and british, and priced for the people. Always solid.
Naughty Nellie is an enjoyable easy drinker too. And we used to sell a ton of Kilt Lifter at a bar I used to work at.
