This past Tuesday there was a little competition between 10 of Puget Sound's breweries to see who will brew a special 50th anniversary beer for the Space Needle.
With scorecards and tasting glasses in hand, a packed room in the famous landmark enjoyed the view, sampled beers and chose a winner.
Pike Brewing Company's "Pike Space Needle Golden Anniversary IPA" came out on top.
The room was a buzz as foodies and others in the local craft beer scene came together to taste beers that were specially made just for the competition.
