About this audio guide
This guide to the Pike Pub in Seattle starts with a four-dollar pint chalked on the board the last night it ever poured beer at this address, then rewinds to Charles and Rose Ann Finkel tapping their first keg in 1989 and building a gravity-flow brewhouse here seven years later, with Charles's own collection tracing nine thousand years of brewing history across the walls. It follows the pair selling the business in 1997, buying it back in 2006, and Rose Ann's death in 2020, before Charles gradually handed the company on. Look closely at the shelves behind the glass, still holding the private museum he spent decades assembling.
