Now available in a convenient package, Pike Brewing Company releases XXXXX Stout in 12-ounce cans and four-packs.

Now in its 30th anniversary, Pike Brewing Company's XXXXX (or five X) Stout is a beer that beguiles the anti-hops consumer. At 65 International Bittering Units, XXXXX has the same amount of bitterness as a pint of Redhook Ballard Bitter or Elysian Space Dust India Pale Ale, But unlike the India Pale Ale which favors characteristics of citrus, pine, floral, or dank; Pike's award-winning stout, masks their beer's underlying characteristics with the aid of ESB, Maris Otter, and Roasted malts. The result is a beer described by the brewery as;

... a full-bodied, velvety malt texture featuring hints of chocolate, licorice, and dark-roast coffee. Robust with a gorgeous reddish-black color and a rich mouthfeel, the secret to Pike XXXXX Stout’s cult-like following is a generous hop blend that brings a complexity of flavors without overwhelming the malt character.

Up until recently, a beer like this was only available in 22-ounce bottles and on draft at the brewery's three locations or throughout the region. All that changed with the recent announcement that the brewery is joining the growing list of breweries who have made the transition from the tried-and-true glass bottle for the lightweight, durable, 12-ounce can. Now available in your choice of singles (where available) or a shareable four-pack, Pike Brewing Company's XXXXX Stout.

In addition to being newly-released in 12-ounce cans, the brewery is happy to invite all to The Pike Pub or Tankard and Tun, October 17th, when the brewery celebrates their 30th year of business. Pike Brewing Company’s The Pike Pub, as well as Tankard & Tun, are located at 1415 1st Avenue in Seattle’s Downtown neighborhood.
