Actually, Pyramid Breweries is a completely different brewery & brand ? from Widmer Brothers Brewing Co.. They're both big competitors in the Pacific Northwest market; they both have breweries in Portland, but Pyramid is bigger with breweries in: Berkeley, Portland, Sacramento, Seattle & Walnut Creek (according to their website). Interesting how they both started-up in 1984; Widmer in Portland, Ore., and Pyramid in Kalama, WA. ?in an old General Store. Pyramid has a somewhat interesting little chronology on their 'Our Heritage' page.
They're both good beers; used to drink a lot of Pyramid, though given my druthers . . I've been partial to Widmer since the 90's. Always had a taste for Anchor Steam as well.
Btw . . Bridgeport Ales & Portland Brewing Company also craft some fine brews.
Hiya Ricky ? I have tried the Sierra Nevada, but not sure if I've ever had a Pete's Wicked Ale; might have, just don't recall, so I'll look for it. Thanks.Hello fr3GStoGS3 - As a matter of fact Yes I have tasted the Pyramid Widmer (very nice) and have also tried the Redhook (also very good). I will have to try the others you mention, thank you for the suggestions! I do love Pales and Ambers, I did purchase a case of the Holiday Blue Moon Variety pack! Another good one if you have not tried is "Sierra Nevada" also Petes Wicked Ale.
