The Pike Pub
1415 1st Avenue Seattle, WA
9:00 AM
It was from Michael Jackson’s World Guide to Beer, published in 1977 that we learned about Porter, the foundation of the commercial brewing industry. At the time, there were no-top fermented Porters being brewed in England where the style was introduced.Inspired by Michael, Charles Finkel approached the oldest brewery in Yorkshire to reintroduce a real “top fermented porter” in 1979. The Famous Taddy Porter was born. Michael, who was from Yorkshire, shared our pride and became a big porter supporter. He would have loved Pike Pro-Am Porter; it is now available in our pub and at a few select outlets in Washington State.
While August 30 is the first anniversary of Michael’s death, Sunday, September 28 marks the anniversary of the simultaneous worldwide tribute to Michael. A memorial toast held last year in Pike’s Microbrewery Museum, brought together beer lovers who gathered to remember Michael and to contribute to research in an effort to find a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
As a tribute Michael and all he gave back to the beer community, please join us in toasting his memory with Pike Pro-Am Porter. For every pint of Pike Pro-Am Porter sold that day, Pike will donate 100% of the proceeds to the Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation.
