Seattle, WA : Pike Brewing Company is thrilled to present the fourth annual Women in Beer an official Seattle Beer Week event. This celebration features women involved in the Northwest craft beer industry along with local, women cheese makers, restaurateurs, cider makers, chocolatiers and more.

Women in Beer takes place on Monday, May 11, 2015 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm at Pike Brewing Company and benefits Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest.
