The (Beer & Wine) Shop Around the Corner

PikeBeer.jpgOn our walk back up from the Pike Street Victrola the other day, we noticed a new store has arrived in the space that used to be a...what?...ethnic foods, was it? We always meant to go in and see. But we didn't. Not even during the "Going Out of Business" sale.

God, it was awful. Some days the owner would come out and stand there, looking downhearted. Eventually we started looking for reasons to cut over to Pine. Inconvenient!

Anyway, if you're shopping for Thanksgiving beer, why not drop in and let us know how it goes? That's Pike Street Beer & Wine at 518 East Pike Street on Capitol Hill. Tell 'em Seattlest sent you. You won't get a discount or anything, it's just fun to say that. Fun for us, we mean. We make no guarantees on your behalf.

UPDATE: CHS has tipped us to this LJ beer enthusiast's post on the subject. The key data point -- they have over 1,000 varieties of imported beers.

Oh, was it that chi-chi Pike Street Market? The place trying to sell pickled wren's livers and toasted ocellot spleens to the masses up upscale condo-hamsters pouring into the neighborhood?

Yeah, wondered how long that place was going to last.

If this place comes anywhere close to carrying the inventory of, say, Bottlewerks, it might be worth checking out.

That's the one, Comte. And as I've just updated above, the inventory is said to be worth a look.
