No New Years party from Seattle to Shanghai would be complete without a verse or two of Auld Lang Syne sung at midnight accompanied by acquaintances both auld and new. This year like others around the bar at Seattle's Pike Brewing Company regulars, Pike staff and out of town guests lifted a pint of Pike Auld Acquaintance holiday ale and sang that familiar heart-warming tune. Few knew who wrote it. Or if they did, knew much about the extraordinary composer Robert Burns and the monumental contribution that he made to music, poetry, and prose. 

  

With the first Pike newsletter of 2010, we invite you to join us to commemorate the 251st birthday of Robbie Burns (actual birthdate January 25).
