Like many who concerned with safety of the staff and extended Pike Brewing Company family, the ownership of Pike have announced they will (regrettably) make the following changes, in light of the Coronavirus.
Tankard & Tun - temporarily closed.
Considering the downturn in business, coupled with Washington state Governor Inslee’s ban on gatherings “of more than 250 people in King County” coupled with King County’s “prohibition of gatherings of fewer than 250 people”, the ownership of Pike Brewing Company has elected to close Tankard & Tun, temporarily.
Pike Brewing Company is sad to report that because of the economic impacts due to COVID-19, we have temporarily closed Tankard & Tun. We have transitioned as many of our staff as possible to The Pike Pub, and all affected team members are on Standby Unemployment until we reopen.
However, the ownership has kept their sister location, The Pike Pub, operating as usual from 11 am - 10 (Sunday thru Thursday) and 11 am - 11 pm (Friday and Saturday).
Cleanliness and food safety are always top priorities at Pike, and we have implemented additional sanitation procedures, including on high-touch areas like handles, railings, tables, chairs, menus, and bar tops. Our spacious 12,000-square-foot Pub allows guests to dine on-site while maintaining their distance from others.
Those wishing to support Pike Brewing Company can continue to visit them at The Pike Pub, order meals through Grubhub or MealPal or by ordering your beers from an authorized grocery delivery service.
Women in Beer - Canceled
Because of the prohibition of crowds larger than 250 in King County and possibly beyond, Pike Brewing Company has elected to cancel their annual event Women in Beer 2020. Pike Brewing Company regrets this decision and will provide refunds to all who purchased tickets. Those wishing to still support Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and Hawaiian Islands, are asked to visit their website. Lastly, the brewery hopes you will keep the spirit of Women in Beer 2020 by supporting local businesses which are owned or produce products and services provided by women.
For more information on these and other beers, visit https://www.pikebrewing.com/. Pike Brewing Company, The Pike Pub, Tankard & Tun, and the Museum are all located at or near 1415 1st Ave, Seattle, WA 98101.
