Pikes Market Update

I left out these pictures of The Pike Brewing Co when I made the post about our Pike Market trip.

This view is on the main level of the market. Basically the beer making process starts in the red tank on top in which is filled from somewhere below by the bucket elevator which drops in hops and grains. The elevator is located on the left in the white square tube next the the bronze colored pipe.


The grain is then dropped down into the mash tun, the silver tank below the red grain tank. I'm embarrassed to admit I'm a little fuzzy on the process from there since my son Brad had made numerous batches of beer on our patio right outside the kitchen window. He also work for a home brewing supply company. Anyway in the picture below shows more of the mysterious brewing process which continues down to the lower level to the Pike Pub where you can order sandwiches and a Pike Brewing beverage. There is a stair case leading down to the Pub. The brass tank in front is an ornamental display and not part of the process.


For more information about the brewing process you can visit More Beer's web site which has some videos on the process. Their web site is http://morebeer.com/ If you decide to brew your own beer and order supplies, tell them Brad sent you!
